Students have the opportunity to learn about the types of information on the Internet and how to access it. Because they are trying to solve specific challenges, their search for information should be focused and purposeful.
Challenges are cross-disciplinary.
Teachers should be able to find a challenge that is appropriate for any subject area each Chapter. The challenges in later Chapters tend to build on the earlier ones. The challenges are written to enable participation by a wide range of students. Students can respond to the challenges in many different ways and at several levels of sophistication. The illustrated characters featured in the Junior Challenges are from the Literacy Series .
