Welcome
The site aims to help teachers and non-technical personnel keep their computer systems secure and healthy. This will keep their computers functioning well, so the technology can be used as a helpful tool instead of allowing ill-performance or virus infection hinder its basic use. Click on the links to the left for instructional information, such as curriculum goals, as well as applicable ISTE and MCF standards.

Prerequisite Skills
Participating learners need to possess basic computer skills, such as how to navigate a graphical interface environment, using a mouse, and internet browsing skills. Learners interested in this website will most likely have these skills, as they are needed to simply access the site itself to begin with. If a learner has little or no experience with computers, they should take part in basic computer training of some kind to bring them up to speed before using this website.

Lesson Sequence
Begin by selecting the link titled "Fill security Holes." You will be taken through four main lessons in a linear fashion, followed by a self-evaluation and performance rubric. Upon completing that section, you will move on to "Divert Viruses" and follow the same process. The last section, "Be Aware of Spyware," is the last and most lengthy section, but the process is the same as the other lessons. A Final Exam follows the Spyware lesson. You can always retun tothis page by selecting the "Maintenance Homepage" buttonon each lesson.
