Web Smart

Get connected! You've got a computer and the world has a Web--so become a part of it and span the globe. Young Net newcomers can come right to these pages for a friendly introduction to modems, passwords, "geek speak," and browsing smart and safe. Every lively page has bountiful kid-appeal: bright images make concepts crystal-clear, and help boxes highlight "don't miss" information. Children will see how to follow links, download material, quick-search the topics they want, bookmark favorite places, use "painting" programs, play games and send cards, and get help with homework, hobbies, and tricky questions. Take a hint on cool places to go, visit Webcast events, and put pictures or a poem on their websites--the possibilities are endless!Rooney, Anne is the author of 'Web Smart', published 2001 under ISBN 9780806975191 and ISBN 0806975199.
