Favorites/Bookmarks
Objective: Student will be able
to create a system of folders to organize their website discoveries.
Introduction: Because the Internet is a vast place it is easy to lose one's
"papers". Therefore, a system
is required to organize and put away websites to which you may one day wish to
return. A "Favorites Folder"
can be created with a shortcut to the remote sites with the desired
information.
Activity: Read information on creating a Favorites Folder by clicking on the Help
Menu, then clicking on Microsoft Help, and typing in the words "Favorites
Folder". Netscape Navigator uses
the term "Bookmark." Use the
Help index to find sections pertaining to Bookmarking favorite sites.
