Good training guides?

[Jack Solock]

For the Internet basics part of the course, you might want to try:

The 15 Minute Series, a modular extensible tutorial in over 40 topics
under the main headings of Internet History, Electronic Mail, Indexing and
Search Services, World Wide Web, Internet Organizations, The Basics,
Tools, Technology, and The Future. One of the most appealing things about
the 15 Minute Series, particularly for someone in your situation, is that
it is available as a series of PowerPoint slides that you can download
from 15 Minute Series home page, allowing you to teach the Internet
without an Internet Connection.

Hope this helps.
