    The After School Technology Club meets every Tuesday and Thursday. Club members learn about the World Wide Web and the uses of the Internet. They learn how to log into the computer independently, access age-appropriate websites, type website addresses into the address bar, add websites to "favorites" and access websites through "history". In addition, club members learn about hyperlinks, picture links, image maps, web browsers, web browser buttons, and search engines. As a culminating project, we choose a topic to research.
