Homework Busters: Internet @ction: How to Use the Internet to Be Top of the Class

You're on a mission--a mission to write that report, do that research, study for that test, make it to the head of the class. Blast off into cyberspace and you can accomplish all this and more, faster than you'd ever imagine. Behind that computer screen is a universe of information just waiting to be accessed: over a billion different files, with thousands more added each day. Need help with a project? Contact an expert, because almost everyone working in universities and colleges has e-mail, and they'll tell you the truth about dinosaurs, science, history, and more. (You'll learn the proper "netiquette" for asking, too!) Or, check out special "homework sites," like TeacherNet; newsgroups on your assigned topic; and chat rooms for inspiring ideas. And, beef up your skills by using the computer for practice memorizing dates, spelling, multiplication tables, and lots of other subjects. Before long, you'll be an A+ student!
