Introduction
The Internet, the Information Highway or the network
of all networks, is the fastest growing communication
technology in the world. Probably no other technological
innovation has changed the way people communicate and
access information. The Internet offers an unprecedented tool
for teaching and learning. It is the ultimate "virtual classroom"
that can be accessed anytime, anywhere, with minimal
equipment. Through the Internet, vocational teachers and
students are gaining access to information and people resources
that can easily be integrated into all areas of the curriculum.
Learning becomes exciting and real as the world becomes the
classroom. If you want to take advantage of the extensive
instructional and human resources available in the world but
were not sure where to get started, this booklet may be useful
to you.
This booklet contains addresses to World Wide Web
sites of interest to vocational technical teachers and educators.
A glossary of Internet terms is available at the end of the
booklet. The HTML format of this document with current
links is available on the Web at http://dragon.ep.usm.edu/
