This book is a step-by-step guide to the Internet, suggesting creative K-12 classroom projects ranging from one of the most basic Internet functions, e-mail, to one of the more difficult, writing World Wide Web homepages. Intervening chapters describe projects using Usenet Newsgroups, File Transfer Protocols (FTP), Gopher, Veronica, the World Wide Web, and Internet Search Engines. At the introduction of each chapter, basic information is given about the Internet tool that will be the primary focus for that chapter, including an overview and history of that function of the Internet. At minimum, an e-mail account is needed to implement the student projects described in this book. The suggested projects come complete with Web site addresses (in appendices) and a disk (compatible with IBM and Macintosh System 7.5 systems) that provides direct access through a Web browser to all the sites noted in the appendices.
