The web already is a business and job marketplace and will be for the foreseeable future. The sooner a learner is introduced to the web/internet as part of the context of job search/employability, the better. Learning with the web therefore does double-duty. The computer software products may be very good on their own and a strong second choice if the internet is not available to your students, but they are typically a more stand alone and isolated experience. I wonder if others share my enthusiasm for the web in this area. John Norene Peterson wrote: >One of our counselors and I teach a Career and Technology class once a >week.
