Internet is a series of connected networks for information exchange.  What we know as "the net" or the World Wide Web (WWW) is just one part of it.  Internet can provide a wealth of resources...if we know when, where and how to look.  Internet can be a great tool for individualized instruction, with it, students can take more responsibility for their own learning
