Internet Explorer is the web browser that you will use throughout the school year to access the Internet and all of the HCPS eLearning resources. Because you use it so much it is important that you know your way around. This topic will help you identify key components of Internet Explorer. Your teacher will guide you through training and you can come back to this page as needed throughout the school year for a refresher.
At the end of this topic students will be able to locate and use the following:
- Launch Internet Explorer

- History (non-deletable)
- Address bar

- Click here to download the quick start guide for Internet Explorer (video below).

Teacher Tip: Use a projector to play the video tutorial and then allow students time to explore and locate the items. Use the full screen button (to the left of “Vimeo” in lower right-hand corner) to make the videos large enough to view as a class and pre-load the videos before you use them to help with load times (select play > pause and the video will load and be ready for use).
