World Wide Web and the Internet: Know
how to use a web browser like Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. Access Internet
resources for information using search engines. This assignment will take
about 4-5 days. Your first assignment will be to search for information on the
Internet using Internet Explorer. Some of the questions will be
easy, while others will take you some time to find. The best approach is
to look over the questions, find the ones which you think might be easy
and do those first. If you find yourself searching a question
for more than 15-20 minutes, just save the best answer you found.
There are many Search Engines that can help you with your
questions: www.yahoo.com,
www.go.com,
www.askjeeves.com, www.
lycos.com, etc... For some of the
hard questions, it's is sometimes helpful to try more than one.
Saving your Links: Once you find the place
that answers a question, right click in the Address box at the top
of the page and Copy the URL.
Open a Word document and Paste the
address. Add any descriptions you like and save the document to your
Student folder provided on the K server. Keep doing the same with the other
questions. After a few questions, your search document might look
like this:
01: http://www.pocketinformant.com/
02: http://www4.alief.isd.tenet.edu/mjurcic/default.htm
07: http://www.alief.isd.tenet.edu/kerr/
23: http://www.fabric8.com/
Remember. I will always be there to assist you and help you find some
answers. Just keep me informed about how you are doing.
At the end of the assignment, there will be a test on
searching. You will be given 5 question, and 30 minutes to find the answers. Again,
you will have to save the addresses where you found the answers in a Word
document. |
