What Is The Web For?

January 6th, 2008

This blog post was taken from Mr. Lichtenwald’s classroom blog.  am posting it here on our classroom blog as a reference document for families working online at home. Happy reading!

We have all kinds of ideas about the world wide web.  We use it search for information, send email, play games and much more.  This article by David Weinberger explains how the internet works and what the web is for.  David Weinberger is the author of a book about the internet called Small Pieces, Loosely Joined. He wrote What the Web is For as a childrens version of Small Pieces, Loosely Joined. Read the article and see if you have any other ideas of what the web is for.  I would love to hear from you in the comments section.
