• Computer
  • Many of your lessons include internet links for to access. When visiting the designated web pages for your lessons, please refrain from clicking on anything other than what the instructions specify. Avoid clicking on advertisements, games, or any links that redirect you to other websites.
  • Turn on and off computer.
    • With your parents’ permission, turn your computer off and on. Ask how to do it properly.
    • You have to tell the computer to turn off. You do not just push the power button.
    • When the computer is off, there are no lights on the computer and it takes a while to turn it back on and get going again.
    • Your computer can also “sleep.”
    • We can let laptops (computers that you can hold on your lap) sleep by closing their lids.
    • When your computer is waiting too long for you to do something, it may go to sleep. Or it may have a moving picture of some sort come up on the screen. This is called a screensaver. It protects the computer screen, the part you are reading this on right now, from getting burned by having the same lights on it all the time.
