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 (e-mail), 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.

5
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.

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. Legitima
te 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.
10

• 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.

11

• 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.

12
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?

13
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.

14
The Internet Can BeA Waste of Time

• The Internet connects you to information and
  people around the World. Its easy to get
  distracted, lost, and/or confused.
• However, The Internet Can
• Save You Time
• Learn how to be a focused, efficient Internet
  user

15
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!

16
Be Careful On the Web

• Anyone can publish anything on the Internet -
  you need to be careful not to degrade your work
  by using poor quality information.
• Wikipedia can be a site for resources, however
  be CAREFUL!!!

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 emailed 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.

22
Plagiarism

• Example 1
• Newton, Sir Isaac (1642-1727),
  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 1669. He remained at the
  university, lecturing in most years, until 1696.
  Of these Cambridge years, in which Newton was at
  the height of his creative power, he singled out
  1665-1666 (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 1687.
• 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.

23
Plagiarism

• 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 Isaacs 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.
• 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.

24
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.

25
Plagiarism

• Example 6
• Newton also built the first practical reflecting
  telescope7 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.
