Pages, links and addresses
Follow links, go back, and read a web address in the Lantern's offline library.
Planned. This module is part of the plan and is not written yet.
Why it matters
The Lantern's offline library works like the web, so a child who learns to follow links and read addresses there is ready when the satellite link brings the open internet.

One question from the module, as a learner would meet it. Have a go, then open the worked solution a step at a time.
