Participants will learn how to navigate their way around an Internet Web page, use various ways to select options that are common to Web pages, cut and paste, enter search terms, and fill in on-line forms. Learn the basics of saving files and printing and find out what various types of software can do for you. There will be an introduction to the Internet and using Search Engines.
