Add-Ons for Internet Explorer 8




Students in Mr. Connelly's Computer Apps class: Internet Explorer 8 has a number of new features and add-ons to make your blog and other writing easier and your research simpler. In order to make your writing easier, IE8 has added a task bar for your web favorites. It's called (no surprise!) the Favorites Task Bar and you can use it to store a number of favorite sites with even easier access than saving your pages to your Favorites List. Click on the Google page on the left to view the task bar - highlighted in red.
For the purposes of our class, we'll add some research links to our task bar:
Also include a link to your blog for easy access. After you've added these sites, go ahead and make a screen capture of your Google Page. The way to do this is to hold down the CTRL key and press the Print Screen Key on the upper right hand side of your keyboard.
When finished, import the screen capture as a picture into your blog like I've done here.
