Education

---

Many educational resources already are available through the Web. Libraries are adding their catalogs and universities are posting information about degree programs. You can find research documents containing information about almost any subject. Before long, traveling to a library to find this information will become a nearly obsolete venture. Instead, students will be able to find information they need without leaving their desks.

The possibilities for education on the Web are amazing. Many college and university classes presently create Web pages for semester class projects. Research papers on many different topics are also available. Even elementary school students are using the Web to access information and pass along news to other students. Exchange students can communicate with their classmates-to-be long before they actually arrive at their new school. It won't be long before students will be able to take language classes that are actually taught in the country where the language is spoken.

Many elementary and secondary schools have created and are maintaining Web pages. Students and teachers work together to decide what information should be included on the site, and to prepare it for publication. By doing this, not only do they make more information available to the community, but students gain useful knowledge of new technologies and their use.
