Web66: A K12 World Wide Web Project

Route 66. It conjures up all kinds of images. Route 66. An artery linking much of the nation. Route 66. An inspiration to literature, music, drama, art, and a nation of dreamers. Route 66. A highway fashioned from vision and ingenuity. Route 66. It has forever meant "going somewhere."

-Michael Wallis, Route 66: The Mother Road

Just as U.S. Highway Route 66 was a catalyst for Americana, we see the World Wide Web as a catalyst that will integrate the Internet into K12 school curricula. The Web66 project is designed to facilitate the introduction of this technology into K12 schools. The goals of this project are:

1. To help K12 educators learn how to set up their own Internet servers.
2. To link K12 web servers and the educators and students at those schools.
3. To help K12 educators find and use K12 appropriate resources on the web.
