1 00:00:04:01 00:00:09:21 Browsing the internet on an iPad is so much easier and more convenient
than on a computer. 2 00:00:09:22 00:00:13:21 You can just pick
up your iPad, press a button, tap an icon,
3 00:00:13:22 00:00:17:16 and you're online and ready to visit
your favourite websites. 4 00:00:17:17 00:00:24:00 The iPad has a special
app, or program, for web browsing. It's called Safari.
5 00:00:24:01 00:00:27:03 The icon looks just like a compass.
6 00:00:27:04 00:00:31:16 To browse the internet, your iPad needs to be connected to the internet
7 00:00:31:17 00:00:35:12 via a 3G connection or via WiFi.
8 00:00:35:13 00:00:42:18 Look at the top left of the screen. If there are little curved
lines or mobile phone-style reception bars, 9 00:00:42:19 00:00:45:00 then you're connected
and ready to go! 10 00:00:45:01 00:00:48:11 Tap the Safari
icon to get started. 11 00:00:48:12 00:00:56:23 The first screen
you see will be mostly blank, because you need to tell the web browser which webpage
to open. 12 00:00:56:24 00:01:02:04 Tap the bar to
bring up the onscreen keyboard and type in the address (www.bigpond.com).
13 00:01:02:04 00:01:07:12 If you make a mistake tap the backspace key
here and it will correct it. 14 00:01:07:12 00:01:11:09 When you've typed
in the address, tap the Go button. 15 00:01:11:10 00:01:18:16 The Bigpond website
opens. You can tap on any blue text to 'link' to another page.
16 00:01:18:17 00:01:24:03 If the text is too small, you can double-tap to zoom in
a little way. 17 00:01:24:04 00:01:29:05 If you want more
control over the amount of zoom, make a pinching motion with your fingers
18 00:01:29:06 00:01:33:09 and slide them apart on the screen, like this.
19 00:01:33:10 00:01:37:13 If you zoom in too far, pictures can become blurry.
20 00:01:37:14 00:01:40:12 Quickly double-tap to zoom out again,
21 00:01:40:13 00:01:45:17 or pinch-to-zoom, but this time slide your fingers together,
to zoom out. 22 00:01:45:18 00:01:51:11 Usually when you
browse the internet, you won't know the exact website address you want to go to,
23 00:01:51:12 00:01:54:00 so you'll need to do a search.
24 00:01:54:01 00:01:57:10 Tap the Search box – you can see it's called 'Google'.
25 00:01:57:11 00:02:02:07 That's the internet search engine which helps
you find information. 26 00:02:02:08 00:02:07:02 When the onscreen
keyboard appears, type in anything you want to search for.
27 00:02:07:03 00:02:10:06 Let's do a search for 'caravan Australia'.
28 00:02:10:07 00:02:14:00 A list appears, showing some suggestions
for useful searches. 29 00:02:14:01 00:02:21:12 Google's Search
page appears. The top result, in the yellowish box, is a paid advertisement.
30 00:02:21:13 00:02:30:04 The blue text is called a link. If you tap it, the screen will
change to the website the link connects to. 31 00:02:30:04 00:02:33:12 If you move the
page by sliding your finger from bottom to top.
32 00:02:33:12 00:02:39:00 you can see a map, and even further down, lots more links to
other websites. 33 00:02:39:01 00:02:44:21 Each link has a
short description, giving you an idea of what the website contains.
34 00:02:44:22 00:02:49:12 Tap the link that interests you, and read the
page that appears. 35 00:02:49:13 00:02:54:06 Any blue text on
that page is a link to yet another page. 36 00:02:54:07 00:03:00:21 Think of it as
turning a page in magazine – each tap on a link turns the page.
37 00:03:00:22 00:03:05:04 Don't forget, you can move the page up and down by sliding your
finger on the screen, 38 00:03:05:04 00:03:07:07 and you can zoom
by pinching. 39 00:03:07:07 00:03:15:05 Up on the top left
of the screen is a grey arrow pointing to the left. This is the back arrow.
40 00:03:15:06 00:03:21:12 Tap this to go back to the previous page, and keep tapping
to retrace your steps! 41 00:03:21:13 00:03:28:02 It's easy to get
'lost' on the internet. If the pages you're reading no longer seem relevant,
42 00:03:28:03 00:03:34:00 you can always do another search. Just tap the box in the
top right again. 43 00:03:34:01 00:03:38:10 The more specific
your search, the more accurate the results.
44 00:03:38:11 00:03:42:00 To finish your browsing session, just press the
Home button. 45 00:03:42:01 00:03:50:00 The next time you
start the Safari web browser, the last page you visited will be the first page you see.
