The Internet is comprised of millions of computers, all over the world, all connected via satellite, buried fiber optic cable, high speed telephone lines, networks within buildings and campuses, or other data links. The World Wide Web is a collection of documents and files that are all linked together on the Internet, enabling users to find, retrieve, and use the information. Software used to move about on the web is called a browser. Netscape is the most popular web browser. A Uniform Resource Locator is the addressing system used by the World Wide Web.
Addresses begin with the type of site, followed by the computer name, and directory information.
The project is based on the Georgia Framework for INtegrating TECHnology in the Student-Centered Classroom. This project is supported by funding from the National Technology Literacy Challenge Grant.
