Online Reading:

Each two weeks the student may submit an article or URL of an article, which deals with the Internet, the World Wide Web, or telecommunications via group email. This course is a cooperative learning environment. It is important that students read not only the text assignments, but also journals, newspapers, etc (both on-line and hard copy) to stay tuned with daily changes or discoveries.

Select seven articles from Bob Cringely’s web site and send a group email to your fellow surfers with the name and date of the article, a line or two summary and recommendation whether yours peers should spend their time wisely reading the articles. The articles may be found at: http://www.pbs.org/cringely/archive/
