CERF n' Safari - CERFnet in the Classroom User's Guide

Last year CERFnet sponsored an experienced educator and Internaut, Yvonne
Andres, to write an Internet User's Guide for K-12 teachers and their
students. The result of Yvonne's work is now available - the CERF n'
Safari Classroom User's Guide.  Designed by an educator, for educators, it
provides the basic information needed to start using the Internet
effectively in the classroom.

Yvonne, President of the FrEdMail Foundation among other telecomputing
activites, has been successfully using electronic network services with
students since 1984.  She believes that access to the Internet has become
one of the most powerful tools available to educators today and that it
will continue grow in importance.  The purpose of the CERF n' Safari
guide is to help teachers discover classroom applications for using the
Internet without being overwhelmed by technical jargon.  The guide is 36
pages and is divided into six main sections.

Section I:  Getting Started - discusses some important reasons for using
the CERFnet in the Classroom User's Guide, including writing with a
purpose, an opportunity to practice collaboration, and training students
to become information seekers and global citizens who learn from real
world events.  Management strategies are also provided.

Section II: Preparing for the Safari - guides the reader through eight
different awareness adventures including going on-line, reading and
sending email, changing a password, and finding out information about
other users and addresses.

Section III: Safari Side Trips takes the reader on explorations through
NASA Spacelink, Cleveland FreeNet, Melvyl and other popular telnet (remote
login) sites.

Section IV:  For the Seasoned Traveler - goes beyond the basics and
provides experiences in reading Usenet News and using search tools like
Gopher, Archie, and WAIS.  This section also explains how to connect to
distant classrooms and participate in collaborative projects and
activities.

Section V:  The Main Hunt - provides two complete classroom application
lesson plans.  In "Space Safari" the teacher models the steps necessary for
Internet traveling.  In "Space Trek" the students become the guides by
working in collaborative groups, each with their own assigned task.

Section VI: Optional Gear and Tourist Information - contains a glossary of
terms and helpful commands, and an up-to-date recommended reading
and reference list.

The CERF n' Safari special Classroom Starter Package, a limited time
offer, is an introductory package designed to give educators access to
CERFnet and the Internet.  For $49.00 you receive one dial-in username
