This guide has been produced to give assistance to those who are planning training sessions for teachers on the use of the World Wide Web in teaching the curriculum. The goals of this guide are to:

• Present an outline of instruction which could be used by trainers in a 2 1/2 hour, hands-on, staff development activity.
• Provide master copies of hand-outs which could be used in training sessions.
• Emphasize the importance of using the World Wide Web as a tool in teaching the curriculum.

After this training activity, teachers should be able to:

• Identify and use the navigational tools on Netscape, a typical web browser.
• Explain a hypertext address and the basic concept of the World Wide Web (WWW.)
• Create, organize, and save bookmarks.
• Describe the purpose of a search engine and be able to describe the search tools of a major search engine.
• Locate teacher resources in a content area of choice.
• Locate informational resources for students.
• Integrate the resources of the WWW into teaching and learning the curriculum.
