What Educators Are Saying About Net Lessons

At last, a cutting-edge curriculum that doesn't evangelize about technology! While demystifying the jumble of the Web, Parker Roerden never loses sight of the human face. Net Lessons is written for real classroom teachers, not tech wizards; the Web is presented as a tool, not a panacea. In lively language, Net Lessons gives teachers the critical framework and the nuts and bolts needed to steer technology ttoward their own classroom goals. As a veteran teacher (and beginner on the Internet) I feel energized - rather than overwhelmed - by the endless creative possibilities mapped out in Net Lessons!

Net Lessons is full of specific lesson plans as well as inspiring ideas, frameworks, and resources for teachers to develop their own projects. Laura Parker Roerden thinks about the Web in a way that is realistic for teachers. Her book is refreshing because it will not make you feel busier - it will save you time.

The lessons are the best part of this book. They contain extremely useful, successful models for designing and implementing curricula that use the Web effectively. This is what teachers like me are looking for now, and what many more teachers will be looking for as the Web becomes available in more classrooms.

The curriculum plans are practical, well constructed and amazingly innovative. A beginning teacher can follow them closely, while experienced teachers can skim them for ideas.
