NCLC 249 - Internet Literacy

Student Web Page

Since this is an Internet literacy class, you will publish much of your course work on a your Web pages, which will be linked to your home page on the George Mason University mason server.  This class is a good opportunity to become aware of the complexities of Web publishing - privacy, copyright, reliability of Web sources, audience concerns, etc.  Being aware of how to protect yourself and your copyrighted material, as well as the material produced by others that you reference on your Web page, is an essential component of this Internet literacy class.
