Whether you are a computer expert or novice, you may need some guidance in using this Web site. This document will provide you with an overview of site mechanics: where things are located and how to get around. Two additional tip sheets, Tips for Participating in Online Events and Tips for Using the Message Board, will orient you to issues associated with actual participation.

Moving Around the Site
There are several ways to move around this Web site. When you enter the site, you will automatically arrive on the Home page. Here you will find brief instructions for what to do and where to go first in order to orient yourself to the event. These instructions include links that you will be asked to follow.

• Using Links to Get Around
  As you read through the event, you will encounter links that can connect you to related materials, activities, and resources. Links will always appear as underlined blue or purple (depending on your browser) text, like this: I am a link.

• Using the Menu at the Top of Your Screen to Get Around
  The seven buttons at the top of the screen correspond to the six main sections of the event website: Getting Started, Week 1, Week 2, Model Programs, Resources, Event Support, and Message Board. Just click on one of the titles to travel to that page. The page you are currently on will be highlighted.

• Using the Sidebar to Get Around
  If you look to the side of your screen, you will notice a lightly colored sidebar. This sidebar shows what is included in each section of the Web site. To go to a particular area, click on the corresponding sidebar listing. Note: To complete the coursework for Weeks 1 and 2, you will want to move consecutively through the sidebar listings, from top to bottom.

Printing Presentations
You can read and print transcripts of the video presentations by clicking on the printer icon.

Staying on Task
Click on the calendar icon, located at the bottom of the side bar, to find out your assignment for any given day.

Visiting the Message Board
Each online event includes a Message Board. To enter the event's WebBoard discussion to read and/or contribute messages, click on the Message Board button at the top of the screen. Refer to Tips for Using the Message Board if you have any questions about how to participate in the online discussion.
