Using the internet

Good afternoon!

I hope you had an enjoyable weekend!
This week we are going to focus on using the internet, accessing websites, and using the address bar. One of the best ways you can help your student is to let them practice. Show them how to enter an address into the address bar and hit enter. Using shortcuts and favorites is great, but in the computer lab not everything is saved. Also, letting them use the mouse on the computer is great practice. We are a world of touch screens and students struggle with using a mouse in school because they are not used to it. Allowing them to play with it while using a computer program or internet site is great practice.  We will be accessing some sites next week that will allow them to practice using the mouse. In the meantime, letting them do it at home will help tremendously.

THANKS!! See you in Computer Lab!
