It's more like entering a tool shed, where you have to have some idea of what to look for before you can find or do anything. We'll discuss each of these methods of using the Internet and explain how they can be used in the classroom. Each method is a tool to use on the network. Knowing a little about them will help you navigate your way around when you get conected. Through email, you may connect with the 20 million or so people accessing the Internet.
Every Internet user has an email address, like they have a postal address for their printed mail.
There are many different email programs on the Internet, but they all share this style of addressing. To send a message on the Internet you'll have to type in the address you're sending to, the subject of the message, and the message itself. This human interaction on the network can be very powerful. Since email is designed as a personal form of communication, you have to know where to send your message ahead of time. As a result, by itself, it's not very helpful in finding collaborators or experts in the first place.
