There is a Web site created by a student that explains Web design and site
building specifically for kids. My students like this site. It has links
that provide extra information so that kids that are familiar with HTML
can build on thier skills. It is worth a look.

Excerpt: PEW INTERNET PROJECT, Getting Serious Online
For Internet users with access at work, four in nine (44%) say that the Internet
improves their ability to do their job a lot. The Internet's "long wired" users-those
online for more than three years-report the greatest impact, with 55% saying the
Internet has helped them at work a lot. By a large margin, those veterans who say the
Internet has improved how they do their job are men-fully 60%. The effect is less
pronounced for those new to the Internet, with 36% of newcomers saying the Internet
has helped them a lot on the job.
Getting Serious Online
The status of the Internet is shifting from being the dazzling new thing to being a
purposeful tool that Americans use to help them with some of life's important tasks.
As Internet users gain experience online, they increasingly turn to the Internet to
perform work-related tasks, to make purchases and do other financial transactions, to
write emails with weighty and urgent content, and to seek information that is
important to their everyday lives.
These findings come from a survey we conducted in March 2001 in which we reinterviewed
1,501 people whom we first talked to in March 2000. This longitudinal approach shows
that over the course of a year people's use of the Internet gets more serious and
functional. Internet users do more kinds of things online after they gain experience,
especially related to their jobs, even as they spend a bit less time online during
their typical sessions. As they gain experience, many Net surfers seemed less dazzled
by the Internet. As a result, they are less likely to email a family member on a daily
basis. Still, they are more likely than before to turn to the Internet to share
worries or seek advice from those close to them. At the same time, users value the
Internet as much or more than ever. This suggests that time online breeds competence
and self-assurance for users; they are more efficient at what they do online and what
they use email to accomplish. As Internet use is woven more into
the daily lives of users, they find ways to get more out of it while spending less
time with it.

INTERNET IN THE LIVES OF TURKISH WOMEN
A study by researchers at Bilkent University, Turkey, attempts to understand
what role, if any, the Internet plays in the lives of Turkish women. To
date, there have not been many studies focused on Internet use in Turkey,
and specific to Turkish women and their use of the Internet. Through this
small-scale survey, researchers Ayisigi Sevdik and Dr. Varol Akman have
found that Internet use is widespread amongst women in urban areas. While
they are aware of the Internet, many of the women surveyed either do not
know how to use it or do not have the means to access it. Those who
regularly use the Internet engage mostly in e-mail and research.
An interesting finding of the survey is that although Turkish women feel the
Internet to be generally free of prejudice, they do feel they are treated
differently as women, and often hide their identity and gender. Turkish
women
have not yet integrated the Internet into their lives, but this small study
shows that they are interested in Internet technologies and are interested
in integrating it into their lives.
