Summary: Marjan brings it in once again!
Review: 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.

Summary: Great short stop before hitting the info superhighway!
Review: 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.
