Study Notes

  • The internet and web provide access to information, tools, and services, making life easier.
  • Knowing how to navigate them effectively is a valuable skill.

Web Browsers

  • Web browsers are essential for navigating the web.
  • Most operating systems come with a default browser.
  • Examples include Microsoft Edge (Windows 10), Safari (Apple devices), and Chrome (Android).
  • Browsers like Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome are multiplatform, meaning they work across various devices and operating systems.
  • These browsers have similar functionality and graphical user interfaces (GUIs).

Visiting a Website or Webpage

  • Websites and webpages are identified using a URL (Uniform Resource Locator).
  • URLs have components such as protocols (https), subdomains, second-level domains, top-level domains, and paths.
  • Websites are identified by their domain names, which are a combination of the second-level domain and the top-level domain (e.g., google.com).

Shortcut Keys

  • Web browsers use shortcut keys to quickly perform tasks.
  • Some common Windows browser shortcuts include:
    • Ctrl+N: Open a new browser window
    • Ctrl+T: Open a new tab
    • Ctrl+W: Close the current tab (or window if only one tab open)
    • Ctrl+H: Open browser history
    • Ctrl+D: Bookmark the current tab
    • Ctrl+Shift+N (Chrome) or Ctrl+Shift+P (Firefox): Open a private (incognito) window

Searching for Information

  • Google is a popular and generally effective search engine.
  • Most browsers have a search bar integrated into their address bar.
  • Google search functionality has evolved, allowing direct query answers.
  • Using search operators (e.g., quotation marks for exact matches, site specific results, operators for specific file types) can refine the search results.

Using Browser Add-ons or Extensions

  • Browsers can be extended through the use of add-ons or extensions.
  • Some extensions provide useful functions.
  • Users should install extensions from reputable sources.

Fact Checking

  • Anyone can publish information online, so it's important to verify its accuracy.
  • Prefer to source information from established news organizations, academic journals, and experts.
  • Check the date of publication.
  • Verify information through reliable fact-checking services.
  • Avoid sharing information until you are confident in its accuracy.
