Internet for Schools: A Practical Guide

"Nothing is permanent except change" was never more true than with the Internet today. This approachable book advocates dealing with this fluid environment with an exploratory approach-persistent, patient, and also playful. Library media specialists are a natural to be advisors and mentors in this valuable and significant information arena, and this book supports that role wonderfully well. The new edition has expanded Web coverage, identifying multiple sites for use in training staff and students, and for integration into the curriculum. Links are current and selected with classroom and library use in mind. New or expanded topics include Web-based e-mail, bookmarking sites, filtering software, selecting search engines, virtual field trips, directories, and more!
