The pupils work in mixed ability groups (with computers distributed evenly). Groups do not need to progress at the same speed: There will be faster groups and slower groups.

# '''Exploration of the desktop. '''They now need to apply their new knowledge: “click” on “username” ''classroom'', and “enter” the “password” ''student. ''They now see the desktop. When a group is ready to move to the next state, the teacher demonstrates how to open a web browser (to that group). Ask the students to do the same. Again, the students find out what happens. Don’t worry if they can’t open the web browser - let them try to open whatever applications they like. Then after a while repeat the instructions about opening a web browser to the same group. Again, get the groups to help each other in how to open the browser. They should immediately share anything they find out with the whole class. | # '''Exploration of the desktop.
