CyberU provides you with a basic Internet tutorial.  It can serve as a reference or resource collection you can access as you get comfortable with the the Internet or help others find their way around.

The first edition of this CyberU was created between May and August of 1995 as part of the first 8-week Online Internet Institute.   Since that time it has been downloaded an used in hundreds  of schools and has been distributed as on over a half-million ThinkQuest CDs.

During that summer groups of OII participants were mentored in various areas of educational technology.  CyberU grew out of one of  those collaborative groups. CyberU was designed as a tool to help students and teachers in the Southern Regional School District learn about Internet. 

Material in CyberU can be  used to establish a foundation to help you reach technology and information literacy standards as set forth by ISTE in their NETS and the ALA in their Information Literacy Standards.

The end product was far greater than the sum of its parts and the project stands as an  example to the power of on-line collaboration.  You and your school can have a copy of your own.   It is provide to you though the courtesy of the Online Internet Institute and the 21st Century Teacher Network . It may be distributed freely for educational purposes as long as it remains intact.  It may not be edited, sold, or used for commercial purposes without the expressed written permission of the author.
