Or order online from the Internet Bookshop.A review in the Times Educational Supplement (Ocober 10, 1997) said:
"Schools in Cyberspace is subtitled 'A practical guide to using the Internet in schools'. It lives up to its claim of practicality and provides an excellent source of information on the Internet for beginners. The pointers to useful curriculum resources provide good support for topic work and are backed up by a web site. Add the value of the worksheets and you have the cyberspace bargain of the millennium." Another review, in The School Librarian (date unknown!) said:
"[The book] ...certainly inspires confidence and is teacher friendly... This well-timed book could be of use at primary and secondary levels to teachers and librarians, as well as to anyone managing the school Internet access." The Library Association Record' review (Febrary 1998) states:
"Anyone teaching the use of Internet in a school could not have a better introduction than Schools in Cyberspace."
