Notes

It is a good idea to spend some time investigating the sites personally before you allow the students to visit them.

 

To save time and if you know it, have students type in a website's URL to take them straight to the site.

All about URL's

 

A webpage or its address can be saved as a bookmark (or favourite) for easier access. You can even save a whole website directly to your computer (or network server).
