The Virtual Bookcase Reviews of 'Internet for Kids':

Reviewer Rob Slade wrote:
This is a collection of projects suitable for kids. Internet applications may be used to pursue the projects. The intent appears to be to set up a "learn by doing" experience to familiarize children with the applications and resources of the Internet. (It is sometimes difficult to determine to whom the book is really addressed: kids or parents/teachers.) There are, however, a few problems. The interest level of most of the projects is at an elementary level, but the instructions or skills needed to accomplish the project are at a high school level at least. Parents or teachers will have to assist, and this removes a lot of the "discovery learning" quality of the experience. The directions for access to resources needed to realize the assignments are very specific. This makes it easy to finish the tasks, but it means that kids are not learning to use the search tools of the net. copyright Robert M. Slade, 1996
