Nowhere does the Internet offer possibilities more exciting than in the field of education. In The Internet For Teachers, 2nd Edition, technology evangelist and former middle school teacher Bard Williams shows you how to tap the Internet1s amazing potential. Beginning at the beginning, he presents a primer on what the Internet is, how it came to be, and where it1s heading. Williams demystifies modems (devices that enable computers to communicate over telephone lines) and lays out your options for obtaining Internet access, from signing up with a major online service like America Online to connecting directly through a local Internet Service Provider (ISP). Once online, software included on the book1s accompanying CD-ROM helps make using the Internet easy. You discover how to use e-mail, online chats, and "netcasts" to connect with other educators around the world, as well as how to integrate the Internet into traditional areas of study. With The Internet For Teachers, 2nd Edition, your students, too, can participate in exciting science projects such as Maya Explorer, interacting over the Internet with actual explorers as they bicycle to ancient Mayan ruins, and can go online to research subjects as easily as they now go to the public library.
