I am * not* talking about sites that show how to navigate or evaluate web resources but more how to read, research and sift through information without getting overwhelmed. We have all transferred our skill at reading paper products to the electronic realm. I am wondering if anybody has deconstructed that process to help introduce new users to find what they want while keeping comprehension high. I am looking for ideas on: 1.understanding the set up of webpages vs. books 2. how to find the specific info you want within the page (scanning etc.) 3. how to maintain one's focus while going to another page or related tpoic 4. Any others you might suggest. Thanks, Steve Quann NELRC / World Education 44 Farnsworth Street Boston, MA 617.482.9485 ******************************************************************* Please List Your Job Openings with FEGS at (212)366-8039 If You Are interested in Making a Donation to FEGS to Help Us Continue To Provide Essential Crisis Support Services, please contact Gail Magaliff, COO at (212)366-8551 or send an e-email to gmagaliff@fegs.org PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE AT www.fegs.org ************************NOTE************************************** The information contained in this email message is intended only for use of the addressee(s) named above.
