Written in a non-threatening, non-technical style, this book provides the first comprehensive treatment of the role of the Internet in schools and education. It is useful on four levels: classroom practicality, school management, educational policy, and international links. The author mixes enthusiasm with realism in dealing with the obstacles, problems and disadvantages of Internet use in schools.
Grey discusses necessary information skills and includes sections on the use of intranets. He covers a range of applications from the most basic to fairly advanced (no prior knowledge is assumed), and offers advice suitable for classroom teachers, middle managers, and senior managers. The book is accompanied by a special website for use alongside the written material, accessible through the Cassell Academic website.
