Synopsis:

Written for novice or experienced users of the Internet and applicable to all grade levels, this revised edition explains the evolution of the "read-write Web" and its relevance to state and local curriculum standards. The author provides real-life classroom examples and specific teaching applications for integrating Web-based tools with instruction, plus how-to steps for using Weblogs, Wikis, Rich Site Summary (RSS), aggregators, social bookmarking, and online photo galleries.
