These series of tutorials were very informative, although I already knew most of the information presented. It was beneficial to relearn some of the terms regarding the internet and web browsing.
The only problem I faced with this product and could be a problem in the classroom, was that I needed to stop using the video about half way through a lesson and I was not able to save where I had ended. When I returned to use the program again, I had to begin that particular lesson at the very beginning, not where I had left off.(2007)
