WELCOME TO THE INTERNET!

INTRODUCTION THE INTERNET - PART 1

For people who didn’t grow up with computers,
the internet can seem like a scary place. There
is a world of unfamiliar jargon and new ways of
communicating to contend with, and sometimes it
can seem overwhelming. The truth is, however, that
the internet has become quite user-friendly in recent
years, and anybody is capable of accessing millions
of websites, sending emails, shopping and banking
online, and much more.

WHO IS THIS WORKSHOP FOR?

You’ve heard of the internet but aren’t really sure of
what it can offer you, let alone how to get connected
to it, which type of internet connection to choose, or
how to use it. This workshop explains it all.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

An internet-connected laptop or desktop
computer; either your own or supplied by the
workshop organisers. You may need to share
a computer with others in the workshop.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

This workshop will walk you through the very basics
of the internet: how it works, how to get online and
how to surf the web. At the end, you should be able to
sign up for an internet service and access and search
the internet on your home computer.
