The Internet has become an important tool.

Thus, it is essential to become somewhat familiar with the Internet and its possible uses for school and research.

Advise to get you started

    A link is a word or group of words underlined and usually written in blue.

     An URL or web address looks like this:

        http://virtual.yosemite.cc.ca.us/mkehoe             OR

        www.kehoes.net

    An email address looks like this:

        mjc@kehoes.net

MJC has many computer labs with friendly people to help you. I suggest the computer lab in Room 124, Founder’s Hall, next to the resource center. They can help you surf the Internet, work on this project and set up a free email account. You’ll need an email account to complete this assignment.

Expect to spend 2-20 hours on this project depending upon your access to an Internet connection, and your skill in using the Internet.
