Web-Based Curriculum Highlights Humanities

Guidance Associates has released NetGuiders, curriculum that truly integrates the Internet at the core level. Designed for students in grades 7 - 12, the first four NetGuiders courses are U.S. History-Unit 1: FDR, the Great Depression, and the New Deal; Literature-Unit 1: Mark Twain and the Art of the Novel; Career Education-Unit 1: Getting a Job in the Real World; and Guidance/Health-Unit 1: Say "No" to Smoking & Alcohol.

Each NetGuider unit contains proprietary Java-based, self-scoring quizzes, puzzles, essay and research questions, and other appropriate activities. Internet links connect students to Web sites specifically chosen for content. Each NetGuider is available for $99 and includes five student NetGuider disks, 30 student workbook/portfolios, and one Teacher's Guide Disk with additional references and resources.
