Discuss the Internet with the children in your class. Simplified 2nd Edition . Creating a simple drawing of what the Internet looks like will also help children understand how the computers are connected to each other. Visit the Internet as a group. If you have the capability of connecting a computer to a television monitor, introduce the Internet to the whole class.
Small groups can view the Internet in front of the computer monitor.
View a website before sharing it with your stu- dents. If someone has given you a URL, it is still important to take the time to visit first. If the sites are difficult to load, it would be best to practice patience when loading them or simply choose a different site. The children would know that these were the sites that they could visit on their own or with friends. You can also create folders within the main folder to cate- gorize the sites, such as reading, math, museums, or for fun.
