About this title

Review:

Figuring out how to use the Internet as an educational tool in kindergarten through 12th grade can be a tricky matter. Brendan P. Kehoe, Victoria Mixon offer practical guidance for parents and educators in a book that focuses on real-world issues. While it's loaded with valuable introductory information and resources, what makes the book stand out is its level-headed discussion of such issues as the computer's role in the conflict between educational paradigms and case studies of schools that have put the Internet to work in their classrooms. Includes a demo copy of Cyber Patrol software on CD-ROM.

From the Publisher:

Brendan Kehoe's all-new, friendly, to-the-point classic guide to children and the Internet. For nearly a decade, Brendan Kehoe's Zen and the Art of the Internet has been warmly welcoming newcomers to the Internet. Now, Kehoe has written a "Zen" guide to the Internet just for parents and educators. This friendly book covers everything parents and teachers need to know for Internet surfing that's safe, productive, and fun. Learn how parents, teachers and students can open new horizons and bring new excitement to research and termpaper projects, by using a wide variety of Internet resources, including E-mail, file transfer sites, search engines, and of course, the World Wide Web. Most important, learn how to keep children safe on the Internet -- both by establishing appropriate procedures, and with access-control software like the trial version of CyberPatrol on the CD-ROM. Children and the Internet is ideal for anyone responsible for the growth and well-being of a child online.
