HIT: On-Line Resource Bibliography

["Ruth H. Kaiser" <rhkaiser@STUDENTS.WISC.EDU>]

<fontfamily><param>Geneva</param>I ASKED:  If you know of a resource of
any kind that you found INVALUABLE
for</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Times</param>=20

</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Geneva</param>you/your school as you
first went on-line, please let me know.  It might also be =20

helpful if</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Times</param>
</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Geneva</param>you briefly mentioned how
or why  you  rate it so
highly.</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Times</param>


</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Geneva</param>I needed to do a little
editing and condensing, but hopefully I can post this HIT in=20

one part.  Here goes . .

</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Geneva</param>Jamieson McKenzie's
technology web site, called From Now On is
excellent.</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Times</param>

</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Geneva</param>He is the tech. coor. for
Bellingham Schools, WA. I've heard him speak &
he</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Times</param>

</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Geneva</param>makes a lot of sense.=20

<fontfamily><param>Times</param>

</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Geneva</param>One source I found=20
enjoyable to read as well as a fun read for faculty=20

members is The </fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Times</param>
</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Geneva</param>Internet for Macs for
Dummies by Charles Seiter.=20

A good source of Web sites is The Internet Yellow Pages by Harley Hahn


which has 830 pages and is also sprinkled with humor. A warning though,
it=20

should not be put in a place where students can access it because of
several=20

sexual sites it lists.  I keep this source at home.  It does list many,
many, </fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Times</param>

</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Geneva</param>many other sites which
are fun to discover.  Finally, a company which
</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Times</param>

</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Geneva</param>carries many invaluable
products is called Classroom Connect which can
</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Times</param>

</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Geneva</param>be found on the Web at
http://www.classroom.net.  My library
</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Times</param>

</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Geneva</param>subscribes to a monthly
newsletter called Classroom Connect which
has</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Times</param>

</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Geneva</param>lesson plans and short
informative articles about the Net.  Hope these
</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Times</param>

</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Geneva</param>are helpful.
</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Times</param>

</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Geneva</param>-----------------</fontfamily>=
<fontfamily><param>Times</param>

</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Geneva</param>I used the Librarian
Guide to the Internet at
first.</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Times</param>=20
</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Geneva</param>It's a '94 copyright=20

I think, and I may have the title skewed since it is
at</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Times</param>=20
</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Geneva</param>school.=20

 It's from  Linworth Pub</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Times</param>

</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Geneva</param>I also just picked up a
copy of "The World Wide</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Times</param>=20
</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Geneva</param>Web for Teachers"=20

by Bard Williams. (Part of the ....for dummies
series)</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Times</param>

95-81813.</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Times</param>


</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Geneva</param>Actually, LM-Net has been
an excellent resource.  I've picked up lots
of</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Times</param>

</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Geneva</param>useful URL's there.   I
have been writing them on old catalog cards
and</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Times</param>

</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Geneva</param>categorizing them.  I'm
not sure if that is the best or not.  I often
pass</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Times</param>

</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Geneva</param>them along to the
individuals that may be interested.=20
</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Times</param>

</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Geneva</param>------------------</fontfamily=
><fontfamily><param>Times</param>

</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Geneva</param>I found a book at a
bookstore:  World Wide Web Guide, and
started</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Times</param>

</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Geneva</param>looking at it, and found
really cool sites listed.  I bought it, brought
it</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Times</param>

</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Geneva</param>back to school and
started typing in some addresses, instead of
doing</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Times</param>

</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Geneva</param>general searches, and
found some wonderful sites!!  Since then, I've
bought</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Times</param>

</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Geneva</param>some more:  Really cool
web sites, and World Wide Web Top
1000.</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Times</param>


</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Geneva</param>Then, the best of all is
the one I found last spring:  Kidstuff on the
Internet.</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Times</param>

</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Geneva</param>I bought a copy for each
of my teachers and we're doing inservice right
now,</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Times</param>

</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Geneva</param>showing them how to find
sites, and they are going crazy!! =20

it really is great! Our second grade

it and she created links to a variety

which support our curriculum along
with</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Times</param>

</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Geneva</param>other sites that would be
of interest to students. I find
this</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Times</param>

</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Geneva</param>site so comprehensive
that there is very little need to go
