Students use the World Wide Web for different purposes and with limited ability.
Most students use the Web for one-two hours per week.
Approximately 50 percent believe that they are very skilled at using the Web. Use is primarily for education or diversion. Student use of the Web takes place, in descending order, at home, school, a friend's house, the public library and other. When students avoid using the Web at school the reasons are to spend time with friends, avoid negative content attributed to the Web, or due to slow access. Age, gendr and grade point average are predictors of type of use.
