• First things first!  Let's make a "cheat sheet" to use so we won't get lost clicking back and forth.  Just move your curser (arrow) up to FILE on the top row and click.  Move down to PRINT and click.  When print screen comes up click OK.  This will print a copy of this page for you to use during our trip.

• Each site you go to is called a page--and you can always get back to the previous page by using the back button at the top of the page.  It usually has an arrow and says "back".  There is also a "forward" button...but you can only use it if you have been forward and back.  If buttons are faded and look ghostlike--they are not able to be used.  This goes for any commands that you want to use.  You can practice now by clicking on "Back"     BUT MAKE SURE YOU COME BACK HERE by clicking on "Forward."

• Anytime you want to go to a different part of this web site you can use the table that looks like this:

          You can practice now if you want.  But don't forget to come back!

• You will need to make a folder to save your favorite web sites.  These are shortcuts to those web sites that you use often or want to use in the classroom.  Netscape Navigator calls them "Bookmarks" and Internet Explorer calls them "Favorites" but whatever they are called, it is an easy way to keep track of web sites.  Let's make one now:

  

Click on  FAVORITES on the very top row of this page.

Go to ADD FAVORITES and click.

When Add Favorites window come up, go down to "create in" and click.

Click on NEW FOLDER.

Name your folder so it will be identifiable as yours.  Remember:  others in the school will also be making folders and saving favorite web sites---it is probably easiest to use your first and last name on the folder.

Click on  OK and your folder is done.

  

•  This page is now in your folder.  Now let's add our home page  to your folder.  Use the BACK button to return to our home page. Then use the following table on your cheat sheet or use the back and forward buttons. (Hint:  It's easier with the cheat sheet.)

• Want to be sure it's there?  Just go up and click on FAVORITES, go down to your folder, and it will show you the web sites on a side menu.

• Now let's get back to our trip.  You now have options--click on the BACK button or find the little table that shows all parts of the trip and click on PROCESS or go right down below to PROCESS and click.

• REMEMBER:  Anytime you are searching or browsing and want to get back to our trip, you have saved it as a Favorite.  Just go up to Favorites, click on your folder, find Cruisin' Down the Highway, and click.
