Extract

The Explosive growth of the World Wide Web, a vast network of interconnected computers, has resulted in the availability of large amounts of information useful to K-16 teachers. The Web allows you to seamlessly access multimedia information (text, images, and binary files) from servers anywhere in the world. The problem is finding this information and being sure it's correct (almost anyone can create a Web page). This paper is an attempt to bring some order to the chaos. It refers to a listing of many paleontology resources on the Web which may be of interest to K-16 students and instructors; and provides some tips on how these resources may be used in a classroom setting.
