Using the Asia with Pride Web site
- Once you are at the Pride's Web site you will notice
that there are areas of text that are highlighted. These are called "links".
Sometimes these "links" are pictures not text.
- These "links" will take you to another web site.
- When you place your cursor on these areas it will change from an arrow to a pointed finger.
- To go to the link or web site you "click" the left mouse button .
- For practice, go to the
list of school's web sites in the "Asia with Pride" introductory lesson.
Remember, once you go to this page you will need to use the "Back" button on your Internet browser to return to this lesson.
