Mini Review:
These tutorials are very helpful for those who are not very computer savvy, or for those who would like to learn easier ways to browse the web. I found the shortcuts interesting, because although I work well on the internet I usually use my own techniques to browse. I think that knowing the validity of websites is very important especially when researching a topic in which you are unfamiliar with.
I think that this software could be very useful within the classroom, however, unless your school gives each classroom access to computers for all students it might be a bit difficult. I enjoyed having the opportunity to have access to this program because it allowed me to see that being knowledgeable about the opportunity that the internet gives us is very important, and knowing how to access the correct information is vital in a students success.
