I thought I would start this issue with "Becoming WebWise", an online
course that will help you to get a grip on the Internet. Becoming
WebWise will help you find out about getting connected, e-mailing,
searching, bookmarking, making your own address book and the very
basics of building your own web page. You will also learn about
technological developments like Digital TV and WAP phones,
your legal rights online, the history of the net, and the other ways
in which you might get online. A great resource!
