*The basics*

  • The tabs at the top of the screen organize information. Click the tabs to view the information pertaining to that topic.

  • If you click a tab and an arrow appears with a drop down menu, those serve as subsections that will take you to a page within that topic.

  • Many of the pages have interactive links. If you see a website name in a circle or rectangle, click it and it will take you directly to that site. You will also know there is an interactive link if your mouse changes from an arrow to a pointed finger. If you see the mouse change, click the image/icon and it will take you to site or linked activity.
