CyberHunt
2
Ahhh searching on the internet. So much
information to help you impress your friends with
how clever you are. So many fantastic pictures of
your favourite football team.
Its like having the biggest book of facts EVER,
in the palm of your hand!
3
But if youre not careful you could spend HOURS
and HOURS looking for the answer to just one
question!
Youve missed your dinner, your eyes hurt and
youve gone to so many sites it feels like your
brain is going to explode!
4
When we use a search, like this one it is usually
because we need to find information on a
particular subject.
HOWEVER Sometimes the search engine gives us so
many options it is difficult to know the best
place to look.
5
For example, if you were trying to find out which
teams have won the FA Cup since it began. Well
use a Google search. Click on the link below to
get onto Google.
When you are on Google, type in FA cup.

In lessons to come we will be using a CYBERHUNT
to help with our searches. A CYBERHUNT helps us
to use relevant websites to find information.
They are very easy to use.
8
You will be asked some questions on a topic. You
will use the internet to locate the information.
The links on the cyberhunt will take you to the
websites you need.
9
The joy of using a cyberhunt is that links have
already been set up to guide you in the right
direction to find information.
WHAT ARE LINKS?
Well, all the pages on the World Wide Web (www)
are linked so that you can move around them. The
pages are linked together using HYPERLINKS. You
can also get HYPERLINKS on word documents or on
PowerPoint presentations such as this one.
10
To find out which words or pictures are
hyperlinks you need to look out for these
features
A text hyperlink is usually (but not always)
underlined in blue.
If you move your mouse over a hyperlink the
cursor will turn into a hand.
If you click on a hyperlink it will take you to
a new page.
