St. Louis WizKids - Advisory Council

....words...words....learning new words!

Coy, Archive, Vulnerable, Vertex, Forthwith, Righteous
These are some of the words that the Wiz Kids have learned and felt compelled to write on our new words list. Below are some quotes by some of our Wiz Kids:
"You have to have a strong vocabulary to be a rapper."
"Today I learned that a word can have more than one meaning."

First Impressions

Net Skills Self-Assessment

I recently saw a short self-assessment of net skills. I thought it was on the CTCnet or America Connects site.. but now I can't find it. I've spent over an hour looking and so now I am asking our Advisors for help. As i recall, the assessment had fewer than 10 questions, asked no personal information and covered only the basics of the web such as "What is a brower?", "Are you comfortable using the Web?", and other questions about the basic components/functions of a browser (scroll bar, back button, etc.). Please help me find it if you can.

Also, I'm looking for a single image of a browser with each of the main components seen on screen identified. I've looked at many Intro to the Net courses and can't find a simple image. I can make one, but I'm so certain that it must exist! BTW, I've been struck by how many of these classess start with the (boring for kids) history and breakout of a URL.. I think it best to focus on how it is used and then provide more background for the curious.
