Introduction What is the Internet? Way to reach information stored on computers all over the world. How do you access and use the World Wide Web (WWW)? Web Browser, URL, hyperlinks What does a computer do? Allows you to communicate ( ), explore, seek & find (search engines)

Internet Beginnings The World Wide Web (WWW or Web) is a tool that allows for the easy viewing of content placed on the Internet for people interested in any number of topics. The Web is based on the interconnectivity the computers provided by the Internet. The Web consists of Websites and documents that are made available to the public through their internet access. The content of pages available on the World Wide Web can include, but is not limited to, text, music and video.

Internet As we know it… An academic Consortium (Group) in Europe was the first to allow the exchange of data between computers. The Web was created in 1991 to provide access to the large number of articles, papers and reports that were being produced. Tim Berners-Lee developed the computer protocols in the project. In the beginning most data exchange was textual in nature. It was not until 1993 the first graphical browser was released for use in accessing data available on the Web.

The Internet Today

What is Social Media? Social media are computer-mediated tools that allow people to create, share or exchange information, ideas, and pictures/videos in virtual communities and networks.

Social networking sites are very attractive environments for children, as well as for adults. Such sites present opportunities for self- expression and friendship building. Youth "play time" in such environments can build skills that will be a foundation for career success in the 21st century. Many teens are safely and responsibly engaged in such communities. Legitimate concerns do exist about youth involvement on these sites, however. Those concerns are grounded in two basic factors: 1) The sites are attracting many youth, some of whom are not making good choices. 2) Many parents are not paying attention to what their children are posting on the sites.

Some students are engaging in unsafe or irresponsible activities that include: Unsafe disclosure of personal information -- providing potentially dangerous or damaging personal information. Many youth appear to have no understanding that what they post in those communities is public, potentially permanent, and accessible by anyone in the world. Addiction -- spending an excessive amount of time online, resulting in lack of healthy engagement in major areas of life. Cyberbullying -- being cruel to others by sending or posting harmful material online or through a cell phone, or by engaging in other cruel actions. "Harassment, intimidation or bullying" means any gesture, any written, verbal or physical act, or any electronic communication, whether it be a single incident or a series of incidents, that is reasonably perceived as being motivated either by any actual or perceived characteristic, such as race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, or a mental, physical or sensory [handicap] disability, or by any other distinguishing characteristic.

Do you trust everything you read in a library book? You better say, “Yes!" Do you trust everything you read on the internet? You better say, "NO!" There are thousands of websites that contain inaccurate and biased information.

Information on the Internet The Internet contains a wide variety of high quality resources for learning, teaching, and research but … Which are the key sites for your subject? Where can you find these sites? How do you know which sites to trust?

Internet Information Skills You should be able to... Identify the main sites for your subject. Search the Internet effectively. Evaluate Internet resources. Properly use the Internet to support your work.

The Internet Can Be A Waste of Time The Internet connects you to information and people around the World. It’s easy to get distracted, lost, and/or confused. However, The Internet Can Save You Time Learn how to be a focused, efficient Internet user

Be Careful on the Web Before deciding that a website is a good resource, keep in mind that ANYONE can publish something on the web! The information may not be valid or verified!

Meet Snowball she weighs over 87 pounds and lives in Ontario, Canada near a nuclear facility. Her photo attracted so much attention from the Internet that it was featured on television shows such as NBC's The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and ABC's Good Morning America. Truth Meet Jumper she actually weighs 21 pounds and lives in Edmonds, Washington, not near a nuclear facility. Her owner used photo manipulation software to create the photo and then ed the image to a few friends as a joke. They sent the picture to other people and then it “Snowballed” to reach all over the world through the internet.

Plagiarism According to the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, to "plagiarize" means to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own to use (another's production) without crediting the source to commit literary theft to present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source. In other words, plagiarism is an act of fraud. It involves both stealing someone else's work and lying about it afterward.

Plagiarism Example 1: Newton, Sir Isaac ( ), mathematician and physicist, one of the foremost scientific intellects of all time. Born at Woolsthorpe, near Grantham in Lincolnshire, where he attended school, he entered Cambridge University in 1661; he was elected a Fellow of Trinity College in 1667, and Lucasian Professor of Mathematics in He remained at the university, lecturing in most years, until Of these Cambridge years, in which Newton was at the height of his creative power, he singled out (spent largely in Lincolnshire because of plague in Cambridge) as "the prime of my age for invention". During two to three years of intense mental effort he prepared Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy) commonly known as the Principia, although this was not published until Example 2: At the Institute we are often asked about Newton's life and work. We do have a collection of books about Newton and Newton artifacts but they are purely for the benefit of our researchers. However, there are many excellent and informative websites about Newton's life and works and we have put together this guide to help you find out more.books about NewtonNewton artifacts

Example 3: In 1642, the year Galileo died, Isaac Newton was born in Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, England on Christmas Day. His father had died three months earlier, and baby Isaac, very premature, was also not expected to survive. It was said he could be fitted into a quart pot. When Isaac was three, his mother married a wealthy elderly clergyman from the next village, and went to live there, leaving Isaac behind with his grandmother. The clergyman died, and Isaac’s mother came back, after eight years, bringing with her three small children. Two years later, Newton went away to the Grammar School in Grantham, where he lodged with the local apothecary, and was fascinated by the chemicals. The plan was that at age seventeen he would come home and look after the farm. He turned out to be a total failure as a farmer.Isaac Newton Example 4: Isaac Newton was the greatest English mathematician of his generation. He laid the foundation for differential and integral calculus. His work on optics and gravitation make him one of the greatest scientists the world has known. Plagiarism

Example 5: Isaac Newton was born prematurely on Christmas day 1642 (4 January 1643, New Style) in Woolsthorpe, a hamlet near Grantham in Lincolnshire. The posthumous son of an illiterate yeoman (also named Isaac), the fatherless infant was small enough at birth to fit 'into a quartpot.' When he was barely three years old Newton's mother, Hanna (Ayscough), placed her first born with his grandmother in order to remarry and raise a second family with Barnabas Smith, a wealthy rector from nearby North Witham. Much has been made of Newton's posthumous birth, his prolonged separation from his mother, and his unrivaled hatred of his stepfather. Until Hanna returned to Woolsthorpe in 1653 after the death of her second husband, Newton was denied his mother's attention, a possible clue to his complex character. Newton's childhood was anything but happy, and throughout his life he verged on emotional collapse, occasionally falling into violent and vindictive attacks against friend and foe alike. Plagiarism

Example 6: Newton also built the first practical reflecting telescope[7] and developed a theory of colour based on the observation that a prism decomposes white light into the many colours that form the visible spectrum. He also formulated an empirical law of cooling and studied the speed of sound.
