Abstract:

In addition to teaching students the value of collaboration and team concepts as preparation for the global economies of the 21st century, We also need to teach them effective use of new technologies. This article describes a semester project which used a three-faceted approach to introductory classroom Internet activities: electronic mail (e-mail), gopher search, and UNIX functions. Our purpose is to create an interest for further classroom activities, to describe how novice learners (ourselves included) progressed, to portray what we learned from this experience, and to offer some suggestions and caveats for other interested participants.
