Product Details

Product Description

From School Library Journal

Whether you are a savvy Internet navigator or taking your first steps, this book is replete with practical suggestions and quality Web sites. Along with strategies for safety, the book is packed with facts and resources for educators to use with parents, colleagues, and students. In clear, easy-to-understand language, Benson's directions and explanations cover every basic possibility that new and experienced Internet users might encounter and answers many questions they never thought to ask. The accompanying CD consolidates many of the links mentioned in the book. This "Link Farm" is a resource with almost 400 subject-arranged, recommended Web sites, as well as lesson plans, Web quests, free "software for kids," and some applications serving as software utilities. From the parts of an Internet address to the components of a Web page, from basic modem and cable connections to the complexities of telnet and UNIX shell accounts, Benson provides clear instructions on the variety of Internet uses. Much of the technical advice at first glance may overwhelm beginners; however, with some background and assistance, these chapters offer novices a vehicle with which to keep up with savvy colleagues and children. Avid users should keep this volume at the ready.
