50 Useful Activities on the Web November 8, 2007

Today, the World Wide Web has become the place people turn to for news, entertainment, and finding goods and services. Yet many among us haven't had the opportunity to learn how to take advantage of the vast amount of information and services available online. In this new course designed for the Web novice, participants will learn about Web sites and technologies that allow them to do a variety of tasks, including sampling music, pictures and videos, buying and selling items, research, job hunting, finding a date, learning new skills, planning vacations, saving time and money, playing games, becoming a better writer, eating better, inventing, creating a will, taking a course, finding directions and obtaining weather forecasts. Participants will also learn how to use the Internet safely, what tools can be used to filter and block unwanted content, and how to protect against spam and spyware.
