Web shortcuts: Favourites and History

You'll find that each time you use the internet, you will visit many different websites. Some you will only look at briefly and decide it's not what you were looking for, other times you will find valuable websites that you will want to visit regularly throughout the DiDA course.

Favourites

Don't risk losing the web address of a really useful website. If you find a useful website, make sure you add it to your list of favourites.

• Click the 'Favourites' button at the top of your browser.
• Select 'Add to favourites'.
• Choose the folder you want to save the page to.

Remember to organise your favourites into folders. You could have a folder for each of your GCSE subjects and sub folders for topics.

A drop down list of folders from the Favourites tab at the top of the navigation bar

History

If you forget to add a useful website to your favourites, use the History button to find a website again.

• Click on the 'History' button
• You can then see a list of all the websites visited today, last week or two weeks ago.
