Molding the Web,
Profile of Web Inventor Tim Berners-Lee - Scientific
American offers a profile of the man credited with
inventing the World Wide Web. Currently Berners-Lee
directs the World Wide Web Consortium, or W3C, out of
MIT, but more important than the clout or awe these
statements inspire is the spirit of the Web embodied by
this man. Use this article for inspiration and for
evangelizing the real use and power of the Web. Look to
quotations like these: "The Web can help people to
understand the way that others live and love and are
human, to understand the humanity of people" "It is
important to realize that the Web is what we make it."
"If you are worried that your children are going to read
low-quality information, teach them. Teach them what to
read. Teach them how to judge information." Grade

time to revise and update these links. I am grateful to
those who have made suggestions and introduced me to
additional sites on teaching with technology.
