With the problems the District is having with IE 7. I believe it is a good time to introduce the use of Firefox.
Fact: Internet Explorer has many problems, constantly being fixed with patches from Microsoft. It is vulnerable to hacker attacks, spam, etc..
Fact: Firefox doesn’t seem to have anywhere near the number of problems. Not ALL sites are designed for it’s use.
Fact: They are both “browsers”.. only a program which is a tool to see Web pages. I haven’t found ANY site that we use at school that doesn’t show well in Firefox.
Conclusion: Let’s USE the better one!
Go to http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/
Download it and try it. The only difference is that it uses “tabs” to hold several different pages open at once. That is easy to teach.
Put the new icon on your desktop.. and when you can put it on all the computers in your lab. Then we don’t have to constantly stop Windows trying to update I E.
