CIS 108 Introduction to Internet: This course will prepare students to use the Internet. Emphasis is on introducing the features of the Internet: electronic mail, Telnet, FTP, Usenet, Gopher, and other Internet services.
It is strongly suggested that you take a typing class prior to this class. There is a great deal of typing required in this class and whenever you use the e-mail and other portions of the Internet. Think of it as efficient use of electronic equipment and time online. Being unable to type is, in fact, wasting resources.
Be sure you are punctual. Audio-visuals and lecture notes will be start at the beginning of each session.

Project 1 - Introduction to Netscape - The Amazing Internet (1), Netscape Tutorial (4.5)
Project 2 - Information Mining Using web Search Engines - Searching the Internet (3), Discovering the WWW (4)
Project 3 - Conversing Over the Internet - Internet E-Mail (2)
Appendix A - Popular Web Sites
The first class, set up an e-mail account at Hotmail.com so that you can send me information between classes and I can respond to your questions and concerns before the next class. A tutorial on how to register for Hotmail is at: members.tripod.com/~MrMorrison/HotmailReg.html
After you are successfully registered at Hotmail, click 'compose' and send me an e-mail similar to this:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TO: Cmptrtchr1@hotmail.com
Subject: My first Internet Assignment
CC: (Your new e-mail address including @hotmail.com)
BC: [Nothing goes here...it is for use when you want to send a copy of your e-mail message to a person and the person next to "TO" will not see the address typed here]
Message: I have completed the registration for Hotmail. My new e-mail address is:
My name is: My ID number is:
I will remember to check my e-mail at the beginning of each class to see if I have messages from you or others.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Remember, you can use this hotmail account at any internet-connected computer in the world to send and check your mail. If you have friends who have e-mail addresses, you can give them your e-mail address and they can write you also.
Typed assignments can be composed in Hotmail, sent to your own hotmail address (next to TO: put your e-mail address), then read and printed. You will not e-mail me these assignments, but instead print a hard copy in class and give to me before you leave. You will, by following this procedure, have a copy of all your classwork at Hotmail if you need to reprint an assignment or change the answers you have placed there.
One section of the book which you might find useful is "Popular Web Sites" (Page NN A.1). There will be no specific assignments from this page, but you might find it beneficial or enjoyable to use this section any time during or after the course.
Shut Down Procedure: When you are finished with the work for each class, pull down 'file' and select 'exit.' (This closes Netscape). Next, click the 'START' button (usually in the lower left corner of the screen) and click "Shutdown" then click "Yes". Leave the computer in this state, with the red message on the screen, and I will turn off the floor plugs as I leave. Also do this for any computers in your row that weren't used this class session...thanks for your help.
Complete each line of work before moving to the next line down:
You will have 3 class sessions to complete each Project. This is about 20 pages of the text per class.
