World Wide Web

The huge collection of information, services, and Web sites accessible through the Internet. (pg. 86)

Web site

A specific location on the Web that contains a collection of related files and resources by a person, group, or organization. (pg. 86)

The Internet and the World Wide Web pg. 86–87

What Is a Web Site? Every Web site has a unique address, or uniform resource locator (URL), that includes a three-letter extension that identifies the type of site.

uniform resource locater (URL)

The address of a Web site, including “http://,” the domain name, and the subpage name. (pg. 86)

Explain What is the relationship between the Internet, the World Wide Web, and Web sites?

The Internet and the World Wide Web

Going Online

The Internet is a gigantic computer network (hardware) that connects computers around the world. The World Wide Web is an electronic system (software) used to navigate the huge collection of information, services, and Web sites accessible through the Internet. Web sites are specific locations on the Internet.

Page 6: Ccia unit 3

Using the Internet Unit

Going Online

The Internet can be accessed using a number of electronic devices, including:

Desktop or laptop computers Cell phones Personal digital assistants (PDAs) Video game systems

You need four things to connect to the Internet: Computer Internet service provider (ISP) Modem Communications software (Web browser or e-mail)

Getting Connected pg. 88–89

Internet service provider (ISP)

A company that provides access to the Internet, usually for a monthly fee. Their responsibilities include maintaining equipment, providing customer service, and protecting the network. (pg. 88)

Page 7: Ccia unit 3

What is a Modem?To connect your computer to the Internet, you need a modem to send and receive data. For home users, the most common types of modems are:

Telephone (dial-up) DSL (digital subscriber line) Cable

What Is a Web Browser? To surf the Web, you need a Web browser. Popular Web browsers include Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape, Apple Safari, and Mozilla Firefox.

Getting Connected pg. 88–89

Web browser

A software program that lets you surf the Web and interact with Web sites. (pg. 89)

How Does E-mail Travel Over the Internet?Just like a Web site address, an e-mail address contains specific information. E-mail is sent to the correct network (domain name) and recipient (user name).

How Can I Use E-mail Successfully?

Practice good netiquette.

Avoid spam by using spam-blocking software and never opening messages from someone you do not know.

E-mail pg. 90–92

netiquette

The good manners one uses in electronic communications. (pg. 92)

Can I Trust the Information on the Web? Do not believe everything you read on the Internet! To evaluate the information you find on a Web site, ask yourself these questions:

Is the site’s creator reliable or unreliable? Biased or unbiased?

Can you contact the site’s creator?

Is the site’s information current?

Can you confirm the site’s information using other sources?

Be Safe on the Internet pg. 93–94

Page 14: Ccia unit 3

Using the Internet Unit

Going Online

How Safe Is the Internet? It is extremely important to protect your privacy online by following these common-sense guidelines:

Never give out personal information unless a parent or guardian allows you to.

Never give out your Social Security number.

If you do give out personal information, make sure you know who is receiving the information and that it will be secure.

Use different user names and passwords for different sites.

Be Safe on the Internet pg. 93–94

Page 15: Ccia unit 3

Using the Internet Unit

Going Online

Organizations and individuals may use firewalls to protect their computers and users’ personal information.

They may also use blocking or filtering software to prevent a user from viewing certain kinds of sites. Your school might use this type of software.

Be Safe on the Internet pg. 93–94

firewalls

Hardware or software that protects a computer or network from intruders. (pg. 94)

Tech Talk Assessment pg. 95

Draw Conclusions Which of the following is not a recommended practice when going online? Why?

A. Pay attention to netiquette when writing e-mails.

B. Use the same user name and password to access different Web sites.

C. Delete e-mails from unknown senders.

D. Evaluate the reliability of information you find on Web sites.

Self-Check Assess your understanding of what you read. Go to the Online Learning Center at concepts.glencoe.com. Choose After You Read Quizzes and take the Unit 3 Tech Talk Quiz.

Page 17: Ccia unit 3

Using the Internet Unit

Going Online

Tech Talk Assessment pg. 95

The correct answer is:B. Use the same user name and password to access different Web sites.

While it may be easier to remember a single user name and password, you should use different usernames and passwords for different sites. That way, if an unethical person discovers your user name and password for one site, he or she will not be able to log on as you at other sites.

pg. 101–102Exercise 1-3 Find Web Sites Using History and Favorites

In this exercise you will view your browser’s History and add useful sites to your Favorites list.

You can use a bookmark to note a Web page you might want to visit again later. Bookmarks are helpful because you do not have to:

Remember how you got to the Web page. Write down the Web page’s URL.

11

bookmark

A shortcut stored in your browser that takes you directly to a Web page. (pg. 101)

Microsoft Internet Explorer

APPLICATIONS USED

Page 25: Ccia unit 3

Using the Internet Unit

Use the Internet Safely

pg. 101–102Exercise 1-3 Find Web Sites Using History and Favorites

In Internet Explorer, bookmarks are called Favorites.

If you forget to bookmark a page, check the browser’s History to find the URL. Your browser keeps track of every page you have visited for the past few days or even weeks.

11

Favorites

The name for bookmarks in Internet Explorer. (pg. 101)

History

Internet Explorer’s record of Web pages you have visited recently. (pg. 101)

Project Assessment

Compare What is the difference between drilling down and using a site map?

Drilling down involves opening links to other pages on a Web site. In addition, each page may have links to more pages. A site map, on the other hand, is like a table of contents for a Web site. You can choose the page you want to view and go directly to it.

APPLICATIONS USED

To Find Web Pages With…

Operator(s) Examples

An exact phrase Quotation marks

“apple trees”“giant redwoods”

Two or more keywords

• AND &• +• a space

• dolphins AND whales• dolphins + whales• dolphins & whales• dolphins whales

One or both keywords

• OR• ^

• novels OR poems• novels ^ poems

One keyword but not the other

• NOT• –

• sports NOT football• sports –football

Boolean search (pronounced BOO-lee-an)

A search that uses keywords plus special symbols to find the exact information you want by eliminating search results that are too general or too broad. (pg. 112)

In this exercise you will save a Web page about caring for a cat.

Once you find a useful Web page, you may want to save it to your computer in order to:

Print it later Capture information that may change

The best way to save most Web pages is as an HTML-only file, because:

The saved file looks almost exactly like the original page The file is relatively small and easy to store

22

Microsoft Internet Explorer

APPLICATIONS USED

Page 37: Ccia unit 3

Using the Internet Unit

Search the Internet Effectively, pg. 109–121

Project Assessment

Evaluate Why might you use a Boolean search instead of a simple keyword search?

If a simple keyword search produces too many results that are not specific enough, a Boolean search can help limit the results to useful and relevant Web pages.
