"Predominately, the content of the Net is information
and opinion; what tends to be in shorter supply are specific learning activities
that make use of this wealth. So the bottom line stands: the Internet is
an embarrassment of riches that is next to worthless without an educator
(You!) to facilitate learning and integration in your classrooms." Tom

and Filmentality
