An Easy to Understand Aid to the Internet

This book arose from conversations with teachers and homeschoolers around the country who were in the second phase of the Internet's evolution. They were "wired," to use the popular term that denotes someone who has Internet access. But they didn't know what to do once they were wired. How could they put the Internet to use to teach children? This book tells how! Steve Jones is uniquely qualified to present the practical and abundance of useful information provided in this book. He is Professor & head of the Department of Communications at the University of Illinois-Chicago

Christian Home Educators' Curriculum Manual Review

"Although titled as a guide to the internet, this book actually answers even more basic questions about computers in general. Still, the bulk of the book has to do with the internet and how home or traditional school educators can utilize it. It explains internet vocabulary, options, etiquette, and dangers, then goes on to explain different forms of learning that can take place. Computer novices should find is very useful, and those on-line are still likely to learn more. Recommended site addresses are included...this is a helpful book for figuring out how to make your computer more educationally productive."
