Get Down on the Internet
(Bloomsbury Publishing PLC)
96pp, NON FICTION, 978-0747535829, RRP £3.99, Paperback
10-14 Middle/Secondary
Having spent more hours now than I care to count investigating the Internet (How dare you! I don't surf. All my work has been on strictly educational grounds.) I confess that I find it endlessly fascinating, mind-blowingly massive and almost completely useless in school terms. Nevertheless it will not go away, it will only get bigger and our masters have decreed that it is 'A Good Thing for Schools'. This little book is a sound general introduction but it's my experience that 95% of kids do not bother with anything as boring as manuals or advice booklets when they sit at a computer - they just punch keys.
