Course Goal
This class is an introduction to the Internet, one of the fastest growing and essential new technologies. Internet skills are needed in many jobs, and will be helpful in many real life situations. Through hands-on work either at home or in the Computer Technology Center (CTC- room 1400) students will learn how to effectively navigate the Internet and find the information they need. Students will have ample time to practice what they learn either in the Computer Technology Center or at home (see requirements). Upon completion of the course, as well as all assignments, you should be able to conduct in-depth and meaningful reasearch on the Internet, communicate with others around the globe, download files and information and be able to understand the Internet's impact on society. By doing all the assignments, the reading, and the final exam questions, you'll learn practical applications of the Internet that you can use again in your daily life.
Requirements
Students can do the work for this course either at home or in one of Cabrillo's labs. However, some students with older equipment or older web browsers might have trouble completing some of the assignments on their machines at home. By enrolling in this course you are automatically registered to use Cabrillo's CTC lab in building 1400 within 48 hours of paying for your classes. All homeworks will be submitted or graded via e-mail. To complete this course you must have access to e-mail. If you do not already have e-mail at home, you may get a free e-mail account for use from any computer connected to the Internet already, such as Cabrillo's lab from: http://www.yahoo.com/.
Attendance is required. If you are going to miss class, you need to let me know via e-mail to teacher@meyerconsult.com as soon as possible. Each day missed results in three points being deducted from the participation part of the grade. Also, excessive absence (missing more than two classes in the semester) can result in being dropped from the class.
The text book Light on the Internet is required. The author's name is: Wendy G. Lehnert and the ISBN number is: 0-201-61266-6
