The Internet is a great source of information, and can also be lots of fun! In
this class we will begin by reviewing material from Internet 1. Then you will learn how to find good
web sites and information using
Google and other search tools. The class will allow ample time for you to
practice what you have learned and to do some
searches of your own. Preference will be given to those who have taken
Beginning With the Internet (above).
