Exploring the Internet

Tasha and her family use their computer every day

for all kinds of things , like writing letters and making

pictures and charts . But Tashas favourite thing is

exploring the Internet .

She knows that the World Wide Web is a place where

people can see cartoons , hear music , read the news ,

visit libraries and museums , get useful information , and

even look out the window of a space shuttle .

World Wide Web

The World Wide Web is like a huge library . It is full of

information about almost anything you can think of . You

can find out about things that happened yesterday , or

last month , or even thousands of years ago .

There is information about people , places , sports ,

animals , machines , and all kinds of other things .

All the information is on web pages or

websites

.

The Internet connects computers all over the

world like a giant spiders web .

If Tasha wants information about the planets , she

uses the Internet to help her . She starts with a

search engine

. Almost anything on the Internet can

be found with the help of a search engine .

Tasha types the

keyword

planets into the

window of the search engine . Then she moves

the cursor onto the

Go

or the

Search

button ,

and she clicks on the

mouse

.

Search engine

In a few seconds , the screen shows a list of

thousands of different websites about planets .

Tasha clicks on a website that looks interesting .

She reads about the earth , the moon , and Mars .

Then she clicks on the

Back

button to go back to

the list to choose another website . Tasha goes

from one site to another . She is

surfing the net

.

Surfing the net

Tasha sees pictures of the planets on the Internet .

She finds out which one is the smallest and which one

is the largest . She watches a video of a space shuttle

landing back on earth , and she even hears the voice of

an astronaut .

Tasha finds a lot of interesting information on a

website about Mars . She thinks that she might want

to learn more about Mars later , so she clicks on the

Favourites

button . Then she clicks on

Add

and saves

the Mars website in the Favourites box . Now she can

find it easily whenever she wants to look at it again .

Favourites

Some of the Mars websites have coloured

words or pictures with a line under them .

These are called

hyperlinks

.

When Tasha points the cursor at a hyperlink , a little

hand shows on the screen . If she clicks on a hyperlink ,

a new page about Mars will open up on the screen .
