Editor's Notes

  1. Discussion point Have students discuss the pros and cons of no central control for the Internet. Some discussion points can include copyright issues, free speech, advertisements and information access to all.
  2. Teaching tip Show a typical news group to the students in class. Be sure that you have connected and downloaded all posts before trying the demonstration. Demonstrate the use of ftp to change a web site.
  3. Discussion point Recently the pop artist Madonna posted several copies of her songs on Kazaa and other file sharing services. Instead of music, she talked at length about copyright infringement through music sharing. In retaliation, hackers hit her website and temporarily made her songs free to purchase. Who is right?
  4. Teaching tip Find out who has a web presence. If the site is appropriate, display it in class. Have the student discuss what is needed to establish and maintain a web presence.
  5. Teaching tip Show your students how to access the HTML of an appropriate web site.
  6. Teaching Tip Dissect the URL provided.
  7. Teaching point Direct the students to several different streaming video sites. Www.launch.com and www.apple.com/QuickTime are two excellent examples. Be sure your classroom browsers have the appropriate plug-ins.
  8. Insider information The search engine www.google.com has become one of the hottest search engines on the planet. It is so popular, it’s name has become a verb. For example, “I googled the answer last night” is a phrase uttered on college campuses the world over.
