Book Description

9 and upInternet @ction
Are you ready for a trip into deepest cyberspace? Inside that small computer lies a big, wide world to discover--and this is the coolest way to travel the information highway, the wildest system for surfing the web. Newcomers to the net will get a brightly and energetically illustrated introduction showing how to make the connection--with all the insider's lingo, a helping hand on doing searches, and directions on bookmarking favorite sites. Then the fun really begins when you're clued into super-smart ideas for finding what you want--like the names of great places to rollerblade or the theater with that hot new movie. Help scientists carry out their research; go where you aren't, via webcam; send e-mails to new friends everywhere; and maybe even track an alien! Whether you want to make a cyber-birthday card or design your own web page, you'll find the facts @ here!

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 3-6-These colorful British imports can be helpful to students who need guidance getting started with the Internet as well as to advanced users who want to fine-tune their skills. With spot illustrations, boxes, or dialogue balloons on every page, the format is a bit cluttered but easy to navigate. Both books cover some of the same topics, but Chilling Out emphasizes using the Internet for activities such as chatting, games, creating electronic cards, etc. Homework Busters explains both simple and advanced searching techniques, discusses accuracy of information, and gives guidelines for a sample Web project and making and publishing a Web page. Introductions explain what the Internet is and how to get connected. There are cautions about providing personal information, avoiding advertisements, copying (cutting and pasting without citing), and tying up the phone line. These titles don't have to be read in front-to-back sequence as each section can be used independently.
