The first SchoolNetGuide provides an objective approach to the Internet and an easy-to-understand outline of its technology, logic and structure. This includes an explanation of key terms such as browser, Internet address (URL) and search engine.
The core of the first SchoolNetGuide is made up of numerous practical examples of how the Internet can be used at school or for homework. The guide presents several pages on subjects such as Biology, German, Geography and History that have much to offer from both an educational and a functional viewpoint.
This is followed by further information addressing the specific requirements of teachers, including a detailed presentation of the Swiss Education Server at www.educa.ch. Here teachers can find a wealth of information about Internet-based teaching, project work and other resources.
The SchoolNetGuide 1 is available in German and French and can be obtained from Swisscom free of charge while stocks last.
