Online Brochure Focuses on Internet

Visitors to Cisco Systems' CEARCH (Cisco Educational Archive and Resources Catalog) can find an updated version of their "Going to School on the Internet" tutorial.

This online brochure discusses the Internet in elementary and secondary school classrooms: getting connected, gathering funding, training, choosing a service provider and more. A glossary defines basic Internet terms such as FTP and TCP/IP.

Co-developed with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, CEARCH also links to other Web sites of interest to educational organizations, including AskERIC and the San Francisco Exploratorium. The URL is sunsite.unc.edu/cisco.
