What's a teacher to do? The Internet has taken the world by storm; but if you're like most teachers, you probably don't have the time to do your own research regarding the best way to use the Internet in the classroom. Let The Internet For Teachers, 3rd Edition, do it for you. Loaded with easy-to-follow steps and practical advice, The Internet For Teachers, 3rd Edition, provides a quick overview that explains the basics of the Internet, outlines why you may want to use it, and lets you know what to be aware of with your students. Run through the basics of using the World Wide Web for yourself, and then find out how it can benefit you and your students in the classroom.

The Internet has created an interpersonal networking revolution, and The Internet For Teachers, 3rd Edition, gives you the tools to get connected. You'll also have no problems finding exactly what you're looking for with the extensive directory in The Internet For Teachers, 3rd Edition. This book also takes you through a concise overview of CyberJourneys, one of the hottest new uses for the Internet in the classroom. And as a bonus, the book's CD-ROM is loaded with useful shareware, freeware, and demos that can help you start using everything the Internet has to offer you.


Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

How can the teaching profession survive in the Information Age? Ask multimedia educational guru Bard Williams, Ed.D., and you will find your answer in The Internet for Teachers. This edition is full of the latest and greatest material on connecting students to the Web, including the fundamental definitions underlying all those slashes and dots.

Designed for as broad an audience of educators as possible, The Internet for Teachers makes few assumptions about you or your students: as long as you can point a mouse, you'll find something valuable here. E-mail, newsgroups, FTP sites, the World Wide Web, Web cams, and more are all outlined to help you get the most out of emerging consumer Internet technologies, and you'll also find the teacher's directory of interesting and valuable sites an easy way to broaden your horizons.

The CD-ROM accompanying the book--good for both Mac and Windows users--includes software to help you connect to the Web such as MindSpring Internet Access, Netscape Communicator 4.5, Eudora Lite 3.1.3, and more. Whether you're in a prep academy or a one-room school house, you have equal access to the power of the Internet; the first step is to get connected. --Rob Lightner

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for teachers starting in the profession, March 1, 1999
By A Customer
This book allowed me to work with the interent in many areas. I have been able to locate information I did not believe existed on-line. Williams explains things in easy to understand language and then walks you through the exercise. The glossary is also very helpful for the computer neophyte. The attached CD installs Adobe Acrobat Reader and explains its many uses. I found this particularly helpful in downloading material on-line. This book is a must for any person wanting to use the Internet effectively.
