The final 75 pages of "A Teacher's Project Guide to the Internet" written by Kevin Crotchett is devoted to various listservs, newsgroups, FTP sites, links, gopher sites, and content specific sites. The book also offers a glossary of common HTML tags and an interactive CD-rom that accompanies the book.
The author breaks down the end of the book into appendixes and sorts all the informations into categories ranging from art and literature to math and social studies. He guides you through the pros and cons of various education sites and walks you through the governments web pages dedicated to schools. There is a section offering links to lesson plans, classroom activities and curriculum design tools.
All in all this book was very helpful. Some of the information was review however the book presents a lovely and simplistic case for involving technology in the classroom. A lot of the projects are engaging and fun. The thing I liked best about this book is the real world application that it presents. I think both students and teachers would benefit from this train of thought.
