Using the jobs that your teacher gave you, you will explore these two websites.

Recorder: The recorder takes notes about each website as the game is being played.

Computer Master: The computer master is in charge of playing a game and is in charge of the mouse.

 1. The first website that you should explore is: http://www.sesamestreet.org/game_player?p_p_lifecycle=0&p_p_id=gamePlayer_WAR_sesameportlets4369&p_p_uid=7ddacbae-163d-11dd-98c7-b9f43dcf5330
