Welcome to "Introduction to Computers and the Internet." This course is designed to help inexperienced computer users get their fear of technology and get it "technically." We are going to teach you how to get with computers and get the Internet. I am your instructor, Mr. Pfeffer, and these are my two assistants, Mrs. Frank and Miss DePaul. Together, we are going to help you get these lessons. By the time you get of this class, you will have mastered the concepts you need to successfully navigate the Web.

First, I would like everyone to get groups and choose a computer. Once you have gotten and chosen a place to sit, we will get to work. We will be learning about different browsers and how they function. We will teach you how to interpret the layout of a web page and how to know where to click to move to other parts of the web site. At that point, we are going to take a short fifteen minute break.

After you all get to class, we are going to discuss web-based content. We are going to teach you how to find the content you want using sources such as Yahoo or Alta Vista. So, let's get started.
