Like most Internet books for kids, The Internet for Your Kids begins with an overview of the Net, explaining what's available online and what software tools you'll need to take advantage of the resources. Projects have all been kid-tested and revised based on input. The authors describe each project and tell what Internet features will be used, such as the World Wide Web, newsgroups, or mailing lists. The Internet for Your Kids lists excellent sites and resources and, in its appendix, provides an index of outstanding kid-appropriate sites sorted by subject matter. Here's an upbeat, productive and educational solution to encouraging children's creativity in the computer age.
Kids can explore a favorite interest, get a leg up on schoolwork, or just have fun.
Full-color illustrations throughout. Though written by an adult, the book boasts a kid-friendly tone that young Web surfers will enjoy. The lively, appealing format compensates for too few screen shots, and that annotated directory of Web sites is particularly useful. Provides an interesting overview of the development and capabilities of the Internet and briefly discusses home pages and related careers. Designed to create interest in children to understand a possible profession in the internet business.
