Starting Your Computer

 

 When the computer powers up, you will see the following screen which is referred to as your “Desktop”

Icons on the desktop represent the software applications loaded on your computer. For example, to use the word processing software, double click the icon for OpenOffice Writer.

Once your Internet connection is installed, you will be able to access SuccessMaker and Internet Explorer by double clicking those icons.

When you are finished using your computer, turn it off by clicking START → TURN OFF COMPUTER → TURN OFF. Do not turn off the computer using the power on button, unless instructed to do so by Help/Support. It is recommended that you not leave the computer on overnight or while you are at school, unless someone else will be using it.

You will learn about additional software applications and features of your computer in class and in Club Tech!
