This GIS dictionary has been of immediate satisfying use: It has saved me the trouble of needing to trawl the internet for explanations of GIS vernacular and phraseology while reading complex GIS literature in a coffee shop somewhere. Wonderful. Definitely an item for the GIS bookshelf and itinerant reader.

A treasure box of ideas, 20 Mar 2001
I have been using this book for a few months now and the girls in my class, they really love it. Every week we do a different activity from the teaching ideas in the book, and now especially I feel enough confident to teach with the Internet and to make my classes more stimulating and global.

If you wanna go online and use the Internet in your teaching then you should think definitely about buying this book.

Internet and Language Teaching for Dummies, 14 Mar 2001
I agree with the other reviewers here. The school I work at has recently invested in four new computers connected to the Internet. Nobody really knew what to do with them until I was given the job of training everbody. This book provided all the knowledge I needed to get started and explain to everyone else the enormous potential of the Internet in the language classroom.

Since we had our training sessions using this book it's been almost impossible to book time in the computer lab - it's always full of teachers with their classes doing Internet lessons and projects which are clearly laid out and well-planned in this book.

Now I don't know how we ever taught without the Internet. If you want to enrich your language teaching classes then this book is perfect for you.

Internet for the clueless, 08 Mar 2001
I bought this book as I've always been interested in the idea of using the internet in classroom, but have always seen it as a scary beast that I wasn't brave enough to try and tame.

The book outlined all the things needed in a clear and concise fashion, even an internet novice such as myself was able to follow. On top of that there are lots of practical internet lessons and ideas that are easy to implement and were enjoyed by my students.

I would readily recommend this book to anyone who is thinking of using the internet with their students, wether they're used to using it or a complete novice

Fantastic Resource!, 05 Mar 2001
I've had this book for a few months now, and I'm still finding new things in it. Apart from the practical advice on using the Web and email, there are loads of classroom activities - most of which I've used with a good deal of success. I've even worked up the nerve to try my first email penpal exchange and my students are loving it. If you want quick, easy, practical hlep and teaching ideas, then this is definitely the book for you.

Excellent resource for all language teachers, 19 Feb 2001
This book is one of three (I think) released by major ELT publishers last year in what proved to be the year when the publishing companies finally stood up and took notice. I own and have read all three publications and this is by far the best of the bunch. Easy to read, full of practical ideas and written by somebody who obviously knows the field backwards. If you're a language teacher and interested in using the Internet in your teaching, then this is definitely the book for you

Good for teaching students, 26 Nov 2007
I found many pages of this book very useful for teaching a class of students working in Information Technology. It covers practical lanaguge, but it doesn't go into advanced technical jargon. It worked well with my students, and I'd recommend it for students of English who want to study the terms they need.

Practical lessons for the teacher new to the Internet., 16 Mar 2001
This is an excellent book which is all about practical and doable lessons about the Internet. I am a teacher trainer for the DELTA and also the person responsible for integrating ICT into the organisation I work for. I always recommend this book. One of its greatest strentgths is that it has a supporting web site,which you can consult. In a phrase, a book with lots of great lessons and that's what we all want, isn't it?

Great to have around!, 08 May 1999
This is one of the most comprehensive glossaries around, I have seen nothing else for the price that even comes close. Every MIS shop should have one for quick reference.

This book is incomplete in it computer jargon., 16 Apr 1999
Many times I have read other updated computer books and have not found them listed in this glossary. I am an intermediate computer user that reads other computer architect books. If the word is listed it will often give a very good explaination. I have many times learned things from this book that the authors from other computer books didn't make clear.

Outstanding, provides a thorough understanding!, 11 Mar 1999
This book is better than all the rest. I checked out an even more expensive book, and it didn't even come close. It seems like there isn't a term missing and its EASY to understand too! A must buy.

An excellent reference, especially for MCSE candidates, 20 Feb 1999
I chose this instead of the weightier Desk Encyclopedia, also published by Amacom, to supplement MCSE study materials and the New Riders Essential Reference for the Core Exams. There is very little I haven't found (a few odds and ends of acronyms), but it has very good illustrations and charts of many concepts that can be extremely arcane. It will even take you back to the early days of computing, and includes cites for a number of vendors who met their demise in the 80's and early 90's. Remember the PC/jr? It's in there.

This is an excellent resource for those whose knowledge of the field extends from basic to excellent, because it's hard to believe that anyone (well, okay, may a few...) could possible stuff all this stuff in one brain.
