The World Wide Web
![]() |
World Wide Web - graphical, easy-to-navigate interface for looking at documents on the Internet. These documents, as well as the links between them, comprise a "web" of information. |
|
A "home page" is the starting point for a web site...something like the cover page or the Table of Contents of a book. Each web page has a unique address called a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) |
|
| PISD's home page address (or URL) is www.pasadenaisd.org |
Setting a site as your home page: Go to Tools--Internet
Options--
What is a Browser? A "browser" is a software tool that you use to look at web pages. You are using a browser right now to look at this page. There are 2 dominant browsers in the world right now - Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator.
PISD has decided to standardize on Microsoft Internet Explorer.
