A browser plug-in is a piece of software that allows your browser to view special files, such as sound or animation. Most of the more recent browsers already have the most popular plug-ins. If not, you will have to download a copy to your hard drive.
The plug-ins suggested for browsers are:

RealPlayer: http://www.real.com/realone/index.html?lang=en&loc=us
Windows MediaPlayer: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/download/default.asp
Netscape users can go to http://wp.netscape.com/plugins/?cp=dowdep4 for one stop downloads.
Some educational sites may use other, less common, plug-ins, but the list above should cover 99% of all the sites KoiTime links to.
This from http://www.planetdigi.co.uk/html/plugin.htm: What does a Plug-in do? A plug-in can make your Internet experience much more exciting. Most web sites that require a plug-in will let you know if you don't have it, and point you in the direction of the download site. Simply follow the instructions to download your plug-in. Get help from a teacher or parent if you experience any difficulty. It's highly unlikely that you will get a virus by downloading this software, but seek permission to do so if it is not your computer.
