Internet for Dummies, Wednesday 9/6, 3rd Period

Abby settled on the front desk in the computer lab and smiled at the class. "Welcome to Internet for Dummies. Which is not an insult or anything, just my attempt at being funny."

She looked out over the class. "This would be the part where you all agree and laugh along with me."

"Today we're going to take it slow. Especially considering that not everyone here knows how to use computers. So we're going to team up and do reports on what the internet is all about." Abby read off the groups lists and waited for everyone to move around.

"I want you guys to talk about what you already know about the internet. What it does, how it helps you and what you want to learn from it." Abby passed out handouts. "If you don't know about the internet, then you can use this handy piece of paper as a cheat sheet."

"I'm from 1996," Angela protested. "I played Oregon Trail and stuff in school, but all I can really do is check my email and use Word."

She chewed on her pen. "What did you guys do yesterday?"

"Got a very quick lesson on how to check e-mail and turn the thing on and off." Briar summarized.

"What's 'e-mail'? I know the Oregon Trail, but not that other thing. She showed me playin' cards on the computer, which still doesn't make any sense, and somethin' called Google. Which is AMAZING."

"Google knows everything," Angela said, still a little amazed by it. "Wikipedia, too. Um, email is a way to get a message to people? You type and it goes through the Internet to the person you want to reach."

She tilted her head at Pete. "When are you from?"

Angela blinked, trying to remember her history. "So it's kind of like a telegram, only over the computer," she said. "And without Morse Code."
