It's simple!
Go to Yahoo finance (http://finance.yahoo.com)
Type in your symbol of the stock you’re looking for and voila, current prices!
For historical quotes, on the left, click on historical quotes.
Now, you can then type in the date range you want and choose daily/weekly/etc and download the data to excel or wherever.
Or if you prefer, you can go to this link instead. Just replace GOOG with the stock symbol that you’re looking for.

Have fun!
*The adjusted price is the stock price adjusted for splits. So if a stock was at 100, and split 2 for 1 to 50, the adjusted price would show you the price as if the stock had always been at 50 so you can determine the real change in value of that stock over time.

Yahoo finance has a 20-minute delay ticker. But if you want to trade stocks online, you should open an account with one (such as Scottrade) which gives you access to real-time stock ticker. You have to put money into your account to see the real-time quotes, but you don't have to spend it until you are ready. And you will earn a small amount of interest on unspent money in your account. You can watch the stock ticker and 'paper trade' until you are ready to trade for real.
