Folks,
I've received one or two requests for more information about the
two Internet workshops to be presented on Saturday, July 9. For
those who are interested, here are the outlines for both
workshops.
We do not expect any individual will want to sign up for both
workshops. The morning workshop, "Internet for the Novice," is
intended for beginners: people who do not yet have Internet
access, or who have used e-mail, but not other tools like telnet,
ftp, or Gopher. The afternoon workshop, "Advanced Internet for
the Initiated," assumes a basic familiarity with the basic
Internet tools, and covers such topics as managing the sometimes
overwhelming amount of Internet information, training and access
issues, and a general introduction to publishing on the Internet
using Gopher and World-Wide Web.
Both workshops are demo only, not hands-on. Instead, each
workshop will include worksheets that participants may use as
they explore the Internet in the Internet Room.
So, here are the outlines for the two workshops. (I will also
gladly fax copies of this outline to anyone who needs it.)
Please e-mail or phone me if you have any questions.
