Customer Reviews & Comments
Written for teachers in primary and high school, the book has many suggestions how you can incorporate the Internet in your classroom. It addresses what are probably concerns of many teachers. Who want to use the manifold resources available on the net, and to give their students a good education in these. But some teachers may also lack any formal background in how to do this. Which is basically a generational divide that can be a function of how long you have been a teacher. The book can allay these concerns. It explains in clear ways how to use the net resources. Where these involve minimal changes to how you might be conducting your class.
