Field Trip

You may want to add these sites to your list of bookmarks. To do this, once you are at a site which you think you will want to revisit, click on the Bookmark toolbar in your browser and then click on the word add. You may also want to add this specific page of your lesson to your bookmark list.

As you explore these new websites, you may find yourself lost in Cyberspace. Using your back page option in your browser, you can retrace your steps. However, sometimes this just seems to take you back to where you were, not where you wanted to go. If you had added this page to your bookmarks, then all you would need to do, would be to click on the bookmark icon and then find this page on your list. Once you find this page in your bookmark section, click on it and you will magically return to this page.

Have fun and remember, if worst comes to worst, you can always exit out of your browser and then reload it.

The down side of this is that it can be hard to find specific information. This is the purpose of Search Engines and this exercise will introduce you to some of the more common Search Engines.

Once you enter the Search Engine's Web Pages, will will need to enter a word or phrase to seach for. Each Search Engine will work a little differently, so explore, and have fun.
