Now you have the theory, it is time to try surfing the net. One of the most popular web sites is the BBC. Once you are on the net, type in http://www.bbc.co.uk/home/today.

You should also take a look at learnthenet.com which has some tutorials which may help you in the next assessment.

Of course, once you have learned how to surf, you can search for sites which interest you and use the net for leisure activities and learning, but don’t expect web pages to stay the same. The Internet is a dynamic thing - pages are changed, new ones are added and outdated ones are removed.

Using our special Computers Don't Bite web browser, why don't you try a little surfing? Surf around to look at the pages which interest you. Print off three of the most interesting pages for your assessment and give them to your tutor.
