Ready for orientation? Great,
let's go!
The purpose of this orientation
is to introduce you to the icons and functionality of this website.
You will be introduced to:
-
the toolbar for Netscape and
Internet Explorer;
-
the Key to Icons box
located on the left hand side of every screen; and
-
the forms pages that ask you
to input data and submit via the Web.
Let's begin.
When you access the Internet
through your Internet provider (AOL, BellSouth, Mindspring, Cybergate,
etc.) you will view the Internet using software called a "browser."
In most cases, the browser will be called Netscape 
or Internet Explorer  .
You can determine which browser you have by the symbols next to their names.
Internet providers such as
AOL use their own browsers, however the concept is the same.
When you sign onto the Internet,
a page will be displayed that looks something like this:
This browser is Netscape. This is the
menu bar.
This browser is Internet Explorer. This
is the menu bar.
Check to see what browser you have.
