Very Helpful
I am a teacher in an elementary setting and I found this book to be very helpful in my classroom computer center.Jasmine and Jasmine really presented some great sites and I loved the activity ideas.I also likedthe resources for educators.My team has used it too.

Lots of sites, but not much content...
Was a bit disappointed in the content of this book.While well-written, it missed the excitement and ideas of other "...for Teachers" books.For a better overall look at the subject, check out "TheInternet for Teachers". ... Read more
