A Guide Box after each web site lists the ten National Council for Social Studies (NCSS) educational themes and indicates which themes the Web site serves. Encompasses browsers and search engines, Web site organization, "bookmarking," troubleshooting, and more. Examines legal and ethical issues involved in using Internet and Web resources, as well as exploring how the Web can be integrated into a social studies curriculum.
