Product Description
The Busy Educator's Guide To The World Wide Web gets educators using the Internet without reading about its history, how fast it's growing or trends for the future. The book emphasizes what the busy educator can use in the class NOW! --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

From the Publisher
What They're Saying About Glavac's Book:

"True to its title, The Busy Educator's Guide To The World Wide Web is a valuable time saver for teachers and parents everywhere. An hour with this book will save you months of research!"
Jean Armour Polly, Author of the Internet Kids & Family Yellow Pages, 2nd Edition

"Finally a book written by an educator who understands the reality of the classroom and that teachers have very little time to waste. Read this book and it will save you time and enrich the learning and lives of your students."
Alan November, Educational Renaissance Planners

"If you sometimes feel like the Internet is more like a yard sale or an unjuried craft show than a library, you will find Marjan Glavac's Guide a godsend. He has done the driving around, the weeding and the quality control to save you from info-glut and info-garbage. Tired of wading through 40,000 'hits?' Cut directly to the chase!"
Jamie Mckenzie, Editor - From Now On - The Educational Technology Journal

"Today's students will live their entire life in a technological world. Schools must get serious about preparing them for that world. In this book, Marjan Glavac has identified valuable ways teachers can use the technology to prepare their students for this technological world."
Bill Daggett, International Center For Leadership In Education, Inc.

"Net-using educators cramped for time can benefit from the ideas in this book. Marjan's guidance makes this book a great starting point for using the Internet effectively in a classroom setting."
David Thornburg, Thornburg Center for Professional Development

"Been afraid to 'Surf the Net'? Felt intimidated by the vast quantities of information on the World Wide Web? Well, fear no more. Marjan Glavac has taken the worry out of 'Surfing' and made it idiot proof."
Kim Larue, Parent, Bonaventure Meadows Public School, London, Ontario, Canada

This book is for every parent, teacher, librarian, administrator-anyone who uses the Internet, and more specifically its graphical tool the World Wide Web to teach children ages 4-18 (K-12). It is for anyone who has experienced information overload trying to use the many resources now available on the Internet. It is also for those educators who already have access to the Internet and the World Wide Web and are comfortable and knowledgeable with the basics of navigating the Internet. It is for those educators who have a vision of giving their students the skills they need to communicate beyond the four walls of their classroom to the world and beyond and who want children to read, write, share, build, communicate and contribute using telecommunications. It is for those who want to do all this, in addition to being in the classroom all day with your students, teaching, dealing with discipline problems, collecting fund raising money, providing extracurricular activities, attending meetings, sending home notes, phoning parents and doing all the necessary "stuff" that makes an educator, an educator. You are the "busy educator" in the book's title.

Glavac's been there, done it and knows what educators go through every day with administrators, parents, students and computers! --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great short stop before hitting the info superhighway!, April 13, 1998
By A Customer
The very best in usefulness, information, and time-saving! Explanations in each chapter enhance the pictures of the many actual downloaded web sites. Information in each chapter addresses tips and hints for every level of expertise. Both educators and librarians will find the subject and grade level categories especially useful for locating web sites for specific topics and educational Internet projects - and the alphabetical index is simply superb! Internet projects are described (5 in detail) and contact information is also included. This book is one reference which will always be close at hand.

5.0 out of 5 stars Marjan brings it in once again!, September 22, 2000
By Earl J. Moniz (Fayetteville, NC USA) - See all my reviews
Marjan has created an updated educator's guide that surpasses the original guide he compiled a couple of years back. This updated guide puts a lot of meat up front in chapter one for those who simply can't wait to dive in... educator, parent, and kid sites are available immediately upon opening the book! The ten sections of the second chapter begins with sites for educational standards and ends with elementary, middle school, high school, and college and university sites. Chapter three includes web locations by subject categories such as: Art; ESL/Foreign Languages ... Math ... Science ... Social Studies ... Special Education ... Technology ... and others. The last three chapters includes information, concepts, URLs, and theories about Internet projects that work; searching and locating information for busy educators; and web site construction, including 25 reasons why every school should have a web site! I was so excited and thrilled about the updated version that I bought enough to give copies to selected librarians in the local area. The book is a wonderful source of Internet URLs researched and compiled in a format that eases its use by busy educators who want to view first-hand exactly the sort of assistance they can find on the Internet. There are down-to-earth explanations of Internet searching and search engines. It is a must-have for those librarians who are always asked for relevant sites for specific topics and subjects... Depending on one's personal librarianship philosophy, you may share the entire book OR just jot down the URL for the inquirer... 8-) ...

Marjan brings it in once again!

Later y'all . . . Earl J.
