The tutorial includes:

• Comprehending how the internet is used, especially for social networking and connecting with media.
• Identifying how to connect to the internet and what services will best suit your needs, including wireless and mobile access.
• Learning how to use a web browser to navigate the web, including understanding downloading, bookmarks and plug ins.
