How to make a desktop icon of a website…
Step 1: Save the website in “Favorites”
Open up “Internet Explorer”, type in the website, and allow the site to load
Click the “Favorites” drop down menu, then “Add to Favorites…”
Name the site what you would like and click “Add”
Step 2: Make a desktop shortcut for your site
Next, click back on the “Favorites” drop down menu
Find the site you just added, right click, highlight “Send To”, click Desktop (Create Shortcut)
You should now see an icon for that website on your desktop. This is where your students can click to enter a particular site without typing in the entire site’s name.
NOTE: If you need to rename the shortcut so it’s something easy for the students to read, just right click on the shortcut and click “Rename”.
