Go Over Chapter 1 and 2Track 1-09At the moment, some people who use the Internet are linked to it using a dial-up connection. Heres what you need to join them: a computer, a modem, and account, and a telephone line.What is a modem? In a word, a modem works as a translator between the computer and the telephone lines. The language used by the computer, cannot be transmitted through the telephone lines. Therefore, the modems job is translating the computer language, into signals that can be sent through the telephone lines.

There are two basic types of modems: Internal, which are placed in a slot, inside your computers case, and external, which are small boxes that live outside your computer, and connect to your computer through a cable.Modems are rated by their speed, using a measurement called bits per second or b..p..s Your Internet experience is much more satisfying if you use a faster modem

Netiquette

Netiquette:The set of rules about behaviors that is acceptable when writing an email or talking to people in a chat room. --from Cambridge Advanced Learner Dictionary

Email NetiquetteClearly summarize the contents of your message in the subject line. Don't use CC (Carbon Copy) to copy your message to everyone. Use BCCs (Blind Carbon Copies) when addressing a message that will go to a large group of people who don't necessarily know each other. Keep your messages short and focused. Avoid using all capital letters. (Yelling)Don't write anything you wouldn't' say in public. (flaming)

Email PrecautionsCheck your inbox / avoid forge letterPeople adopt imaginary rolesUse Bcc field when you are sending mailing to a long list of addressDont pass on chain letters.Email is not very private and confidentialRead your email is easy; unless encrypt it.

Soon, you'll begin receiving mail from other list members. 3.Subscribing to mailing lists is free- just send an email message to the subscription address.

Many, if not most, search destinations include results from a combination of sources, but not all are metasearch engines. In non-metasearch engines, there may be primary listings and secondary listings. The secondary listings serve as a backup to enhance the search coverage... or as a premium (paid) service to enhance the search engine's revenue. These additional listings may or may not be clearly distinguished as being outside the primary results.At a metasearch destination, the visitor is usually made aware of the fact that there are many sources of search information. Typically, no one source dominates, but there are several ways to display the results. Listings may be grouped by the source (i.e. Dogpile), scrambled from all the sources (i.e. Mamma), or clustered and ranked (i.e. Ixquick).Spell counts. If you are not getting any meaningful results, check that youve spelled your terms correctly.Internet English most search engines will return pages that have either Internet or English in them.If you want restrict your search to only these pages that contain all words, place quotes around the words. Or use the + sign between Internet + EnglihsIt only looks for pages and websites which are for kids and which are guaranteed to be free of adult content. It is a great site to take younger learners for an introduction to the Internet. Boolean- most search engines are based on Boolean logic, which works to expand, or restrict the number of results for your research. If you type and between search terms, you get results that contain both words. Typing or between terms will give results that contain either word, and placing not will give results about the first term, but not the second term.If you want to restrict your search to only these pages that contain all words, place quotes around the words Internet English: Or, use the + sign between your terms : Internet + EnglishAnd looks for documents featuring all words in the search entry box. OR looks for documents featuring any of the words in the search entry box; NOT looks for documents featuring some words, but not others.These three search words can be nested ( combined), providing very close matches: EFL and London and study or teach. That is if you are looking for information about studying or teaching English in London.Advanced Search you can use the options on this page to create a very specific search.

You should always remember to mention each Internet resource that you use for all presentations. Giving credit is the ethical and diligent thing to doAbbreviations are frequently used in e-mail messages and chat rooms to help communicate.When communicating on the Net, you cant see the other persons body language, or facial expressions or hear their speech intonation. This can create major muisunderstandings.Emoticons, sometimes called smiley, substitute for the tone of voice that is missing in e-mail messages. Most emoticons are supposed to look like faces when you turn your head sideways.Scott. E. Fahlman is the inventor of the sideways smiley face. He decided to create the first smiley (early 1980s) because he discovered that during online bulletin board discussions fi someone made a sarcastic remark, a few readers would fail to get the joke. People you write to cannot see your face, or guess what you are thinking. Perhaps you didnt explain yourself clearly, or something in the document was misunderstoodMaybe you did t include information about who you are and where you are from and consequently the person did not know who the message was fromDid you write in capital letters? Its the Internet equivalent of shouting and frowned on by most people.Perhaps you have an enormously long signature at the end of your message and the person is angry about the extra time it took to receive your message.There are some basic dos and donts of using e-mail.Perhaps the easiest way to get something out of the Net is to learn from other people with more experience than yourself. The easiest way into this new world is to join a listserv.Listservs are electronic mailing lists for specialist subjects. They are basically a collection of people interested in a particular subject or hobby who communicate with each other by email on a daily basis. You join a listserv by sending an email message to a computer. When you send your subscription message to the listserv, remember that you are sending a message to a computer, and not to a person. Make sure that you put no information other than that which is required.If your subscription is successful you will receive a confirmation within a short period of time. This confirmaiton message is very important not only does it give you information about how the listserv works, but it also tells you what you can and cant do on the list. Read it carefully before you start to use the listFor example; a famous EFL related listserve TESL-L (it stands for Teachers of English as a Second Language Listserv) and you will find it at listserv@cunyvm.cuny.eduTo:listerv@cunyvm.cuny.eduFrom: yanling_h@yahoo.comText:SUBSCRIBE TESL-L Yanling HwangA good reason for joining TESL-L specifically is that they have an enormous archive of past discussions and teacher resource files around various subjects built up over the years. These can be requested and received by email.TESL-L is also occasionally used as a medium for teaching. A couple of years ago it was possible to follow a course in Fluency First entirely taught by email. People who decided to do the courses received ideas, lecture notes, pointers to books and materials, the possibility to chat Disadvantage of listervs- you cannot please all of the people all the time. A lot of the discussions will have no relevance to your own work most of the time. Mailing lists and discussion groups are virtual roundtables through which people with common interests share their experience and opoinions.# how do mailing lists work? When you send e-mail to this second address, it gets distributed to everyone else on the listsYou would substitute your actual name for fistname lastnameIf the subscription address of a discussion group starts with listnamerequest or majordomo send the following message
