By Dave Sperling - (Prentice Hall College Division)   Order Now > Book     Online Kids : A Young Surfer's Guide to Cyberspace Ideal for Intermediate level teenage ESL students, 'Online Kids' features great site reviews, fun activities, and loads of information on important Internet-related topics. Employs a 'kid-friendly' tone which will appeal to all teenage readers. It starts out with the basics: "What is cyberspace?"--and moves on to explain how to use the Internet safely, how to choose an online service, and how to navigate the Web. Site reviews, which run the gamut from the educational to the recreational, are jam-packed with information and are rated for both coolness and usefulness. When students get tired of surfing, they can take a virtual tour of Washington D.C., create a science museum at home, or try one of the many other activities scattered throughout the book. If kids are interested in chatting online, they should make sure comments are received as intended by checking out the book's sections on 'smileys' and cybershorthand.
