Chapter 16

Creating Internet Literacy

We live in an increasingly networked world. It’s changing the way we read, view, talk, and even think. The Internet has given those who use it a world of information and a voice that can reach around the globe. So it is important to know what’s “in the Net” and to understand its tools and how to put them to use.

Many of you may already feel comfortable with the online tools and technologies discussed in this chapter. But learning how they came about and considering best practices for using them will enhance your Internet skills and strengthen your connections in this information age.
