The internet is filled with people trying to make money off of unsuspecting web surfers. Unfortunately, one big way to make money is to trap people into accessing sites containing indecent pictures and information. Many times access to these sites is gained simply by viewing credible sites that have been shut down. During our times in the computer lab you will need to view different internet sites to find the information required to complete several activities. During these sessions, if you find a “pop-up” ad appear on your screen, simply click on the box with the “X” in the top right hand corner to delete it. If anything on the site appears questionable, immediately raise your hand and the teacher will assist you. Each site you need to view has been checked by the teacher, but sometimes things change very quickly and questionable material could appear. If you accidentally access questionable material while you are on the internet, immediately turn off your monitor by flipping the “on/off” switch and raise your hand to make the teacher aware of the situation. The teacher will then take care of the situation by exiting the program.
