Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
Nominally an introduction to the Internet for girls in early adolescence, this book uses the Internet as a springboard to engage girls' interest in science and technology. As an Internet guide, it incorporates everything you'd expect to see, including an overview of the Net, discussions of nettiquette, and information on basic safety, as well as more than 100 top-notch girl-friendly sites dealing with entertainment, arts, health, science, play, and meeting other girls. The carefully selected sites are engaging and entertaining as well educational, although there are a few that are just plain silly fun. But the Girl Tech crew also offers activities for readers. For example, after noting that the National Inventor's Hall of Fame site is woefully short on women inventors and seeking woman nominees, the book talks about some other female inventors and encourages readers to find and nominate their own favorites. Activities range from things that can be done online (like enjoyable research or e-mail projects) to ways to use the information learned online elsewhere (such as learning sign language, or recording a day in photographs). The mini-profiles of several "girls" on the Net--from major corporation executives to other 11-year-olds--offer good role models for girls just entering online.
