The Beginning of the Spider's Web...

Just a thought about the the things that we could have the participants do as they make their way though the program. How about a jump back in time to help the staff firm up their understanding of what the Web is vs. what the Internet is. Maybe we could have the participants do a little online searching to discover the roots of the Internet and the development of its child, the Web, and then post their discoveries on a blog that they create.

I think that many people have used the Web but do not really have a grasp as to what they are really using. I think that such an exercise as the one I suggested will help people firm up their understanding of what they are using.

I remember doing this for my Internet as Resource Discovery class. Some of it was interesting & some of it was really boring. I think we could include something like this, but it make it optional. Something in a timeline format might have a bit more interest.
