You can also use this page to find out more about the writers and teachers who developed the sites visited in the project. Often, you can visit other sites developed by these authors to get a wider view of their work and research.
When you click on one of the chapter buttons from the Internet
Project Home Page, your browser will open on the project for
that chapter. You will see several buttons on the left side of
the window. This list of buttons is your control panel for
navigating the project. The larger window on the right side has
information on what to expect and what you can do in the current
portion of the project. Often, this window will open on other
sites on the Internet.
The intent behind these projects is to give you a controlled
view of some of the best sites on the Internet
today...sites that can help
you better understand the concepts covered in your class.
As you explore those other sites, the Internet Project buttons will remain on the left side of your browser. You can always return to the Internet Projects by clicking on one of the buttons. The buttons are described as follows:

displays the introduction to the current chapter's project. Use this button when, after exploring other internet sites in the right side of your browser, you want to return to the beginning page for the current chapter's project. |
