This section is intended for teachers that want to teach their students about the Internet.
This website was designed to be educational, the information could be used and understood by 4th graders - college students.
Here is our suggested teaching plan.

Start by letting your students read the interview in the information section. That should give students with less knowledge then others more information to start with.
After the introduction, advance to the history section, to give the students some background information. The history section is long, so the students should take notes, and make a time line with important dates and events.
Let your students read more about the internet today, in the effects on our lives and benefits sections. Then move on to the future section. Let your students write a short essay about what they think their lives would look like in 10 years from now, according to what they read in the effects and future sections.
To get more technical, give your students an introduction to computers and how they work in the how computers work section. This section should give them enough basic information, to understand how the internet works. Next let your students read about how the internet works, its long so they should take notes.
After reading the materials, an essay should be assigned, it should contain information about what the internet is, it's history, its benefits and effects, and its future. It will also be good to include an explanation of how the internet works, in their own words.
Try letting your students do the the tests in the test yourself section under interactive, to see how much they have learned.
After all the reading and writing is done, let them have some fun playing games in the interactive section, and trying out links about related information.
