Navigation is a natural part of using the Web, just as steering is basic to driving a car.
To navigate the Web, you must use a Web Browser such as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Explorer. Web browsers enable viewing and interaction with Web sites using your mouse and the icons in your Web browser. In Teach 2000 when you click your mouse on a link to visit another site a second browser window will open at your chosen site. When you've finished your side trip you can close the browser window by clicking the small close box in the upper left corner of your browser and resume your exploration of the Teach 2000 Web site. If you're not sure where to find the close box take a quick peek at this Close Box Image .
