Browser Tips
Goals
This lesson is intended to provide a more in depth understanding
of browsers, exploring some of the preferences. This second lesson
will explain some of the more advanced features such as setting the
default homepage, saving and organizing bookmarks, configuring the
history tool, and exploring the menus.
Enabling Objectives
This lesson will be in the form of a quicktime video which
describes the browser menus, and walks through some example features
using screen captures of actual browser windows. The Trainees will be
encouraged to explore the menus, being careful to take note of any
changes so as to be able to reset.
Terminal Objectives
Upon completing this lesson, several terminal objectives will be
attainable:
- Trainees will be able to locate and configure their default
homepage. They will be able to demonstrate the differences between
Explorer and Netscape for this function.
- Trainees will be able to bookmark and return to a web site, and
to do this in both Netscape and Explorer.
- Trainees will be able to go to their browser's help menus and
locate directions for importing and exporting bookmark
collections.
- Trainees will be able to find and use the history tool, and to
clear the history. They will also be able to explain the difference
between the history tool and a bookmark list.
- Trainees will be able to explore the menu bar and examine the
various functions for themselves, and will demonstrate care with the
"advanced" settings. Trainees will also make notes before committing
to changes in browser preferences in order to be able to retrace
their steps and reset the browser to defaults.
