Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

As one of the designers of a statewide program in 1994 to get pre-college educators online, I appreciate the many challenges to deploying the Internet in schools. Williams has written a book that I'd heartily recommend to the latest crop of educators getting online. Like all books in the IDG series, it is clearly laid out, filled with truly useful tips and hints, and addresses the particular needs of its intended audience very well. The section on how to incorporate the Internet into the curriculum is especially valuable. Highly Recommended! --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for teachers starting in the profession, March 1, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Internet for Teachers for Dummies (Paperback)
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.
