INTERNET JE HIT!/THE INTERNET IS HIT

MOŽNOSTI

Ali je Internet lahko nevaren?

Ne, če...

se ne srečate sami z neznanimi ljudmi,
ne dajete važnih informacij ljudem, ki jih ne poznate (številke kreditnih kartic, gesla...),
se posvetujete s starši, ko najdete kaj čudnega ali nenavadnega.

Kako lahko zares uživamo v Internetu?

Tako, da...

poskušamo najti zanimive stvari, vendar smo kritični do virov: ni vse na internetu dobro, tudi nekaj smeti je,
nismo preveč nepotrpežljivi,
smo vljudni do ostalih uporabnikov.

IN NE POZABIMO: TO NI EDINI SVET - RAČUNALNIK IN INTERNET, ŠE NEKAJ VEČ JE TAM ZUNAJ...PRIJETEN VETRIČ...TOPLO SONCE...PRIJATELJI, KI SE SKUPAJ IGRAJO... NAS VABIJO...

a)Poskušajte dopisovati v konference, recimo "alt.kids-talk" ali "alt.kids.penpals" v programu Free Agent.

b)Zanimiv je lahko klepet na IRCu.

c)Iskanje po spletnih straneh vzame veliko časa, dobite pa lahko veliko podatkov o VELIKI BRITANIJI ali ZDRUŽENIH DRŽAVAH AMERIKE, najdete stran CNN pa kaj za ZABAVO IN PROSTI ČAS.

Bi vas zanimalo sodelovanje na straneh EXCHANGE, CYBERKIDS, CYBERTEENS, branje KRATKIH STRIPOV, dopisovanje na različnih naslovih: DOPISOVANJE1, DOPISOVANJE2, DOPISOVANJE3, DOPISOVANJE4?
Dopisovalcu lahko pošljete zanimivo RAZGLEDNICO, sodelujete pri REVIJI NAJSTNIKOV, oblikujete svojo DOMAČO STRAN1 ali DOMAČO STRAN2, ne pozabite pa si najprej urediti čisto svoje ELEKTRONSKE POŠTE.
Izvolite SEZNAM ZASTONJ STORITEV NA INTERNETU!

Kaj pa pravi projekti za mlade:
I*EARN
I*EARN - SLOVENIA
THINKQUEST
KIDLINK
UNICEF - VOICES OF YOUTH
IKIDS ONLINE
KIDS UNIVERSE
TOPKIDS
THE ACADEMY
DEBATE PROGRAM

Pri iskanju vam bodo v pomoč iskalniki:

ALTAVISTA, EXCITE,HOTBOT,LYCOS,STARTING POINT, YAHOO - search engines

KAKO NAVADNO UPORABLJAMO ISKALNIKE?

povejte, kaj iščete, kolikor je mogoče natančno (pri iskalniku Excite, kot bi spraševali osebo: How to stay healthy by eating well?)

tipkajte vse z malimi črkami, z velikim črkami izsilite natančno ujemanje (turkey je lahko turkey, Turkey, tUrKeY ali TURKEY; Turkey je samo Turkey)

fraze uporabite v narekovajih ("american indians")

uporabite * ("american indian" language* - lahko je jezik ali so jeziki, * stoji za nič ali do pet dodatnih črk) ali znak $ pri Lycosu (gard$ je lahko garden ali gardenias...)

poskusite uporabiti operatorje AND (kayak AND canoe - oba morata biti v dokumentu), OR ("computer assisted language learning" OR CALL - vsaj eden mora biti v dokumentu), NEAR (Jack NEAR London - oba ne smeta biti v dokumentu med seboj oddaljena več kot deset besed), AND NOT (vegetable AND NOT beans - fižol je izključen)

pri Altavisti le za Advanced Queries včasih lahko uporabimo + namesto AND in - namesto AND NOT

THE INTERNET IS HIT

Can the Internet be dangerous?

No if you...

do not meet unknown people alone,
do not give important information to people you do not know (numbers of credit cards, passwords...),
consult you parents if you find something strange and unusual on the net.

How can you really enjoy the Internet?

By...

trying to find interesting things, but being critical to sources: not everything on the Internet is good, there's some rubbish, too,
not being too impatient,
being polite to other users.

AND LET'S NOT FORGET: THIS IS NOT THE ONLY WORLD - COMPUTERS AND INTERNET, THERE IS SOME MORE OUTSIDE...THE PLEASANT WIND...THE WARM SUN...FRIENDS PLAYING TOGETHER... INVITING US...

a)Try writing in Groups, for example "alt.kids-talk" or "alt.kids.penpals" in the program Free Agent.

b)A chat on IRC can be interesting.

c)Surfing websites can take a lot of time, but give you useful information about GREAT BRITAIN or USA, you can find the CNN website or something for FUN AND LEISURE.

Would you be interested in EXCHANGE, CYBERKIDS, CYBERTEENS, reading COMIC STRIPS, contacting PENPALS1, PENPALS2, PENPALS3, PENPALS4? You can send your penpal an interesting POSTCARD, work for a TEENAGER MAGAZINE, design your own HOMEPAGE1 or HOMEPAGE2, and don't forget to get your own E-MAIL ACCOUNT.
Here are LISTS OF FREE INTERNET SERVICES

What about real projects for young people:
I*EARN
I*EARN - SLOVENIA
THINKQUEST
KIDLINK
UNICEF - VOICES OF YOUTH
IKIDS ONLINE
KIDS UNIVERSE
TOPKIDS
THE ACADEMY
DEBATE PROGRAM

Search engines are of great help:
ALTAVISTA, EXCITE,HOTBOT,LYCOS,STARTING POINT, YAHOO.

tell what you're looking for as precisely as you can (with Excite just as you might ask a person: How to stay healthy by eating well)
type it all in lower case, with capital letters you force an exact match (turkey can be turkey, Turkey, tUrKeY or TURKEY; Turkey is only Turkey)
enclose phrases in double quotes ("american indians")
use the *-notation ("american indian" language* - can be language or languages, * stands for nothing or up to five additional letters) and a dollar sign $ with Lycos (gard$ can be garden, gardenias...)
try the operators AND (kayak AND canoe - both must be present in the resulting document), OR ("computer assisted language learning" OR CALL - at least one must be present in the document), NEAR (Jack NEAR London - both must be within ten words of each other in the document), AND NOT (vegetable AND NOT beans - beans are excluded) - Altavista: only Advanced Queries
sometimes + can be used instead of AND and - instead of AND NOT
