UVM In-Service English Training Courses

Developing Internet Activities 

 Project I: Introduction

(Note: All assignments that must be turned in are in green. Your answers do NOT have to be publishable in a professional journal. Write only what is needed to answer the questions. You will NOT be graded on your English. Remember, NO ONE is perfect...not even me. Send all assignments to: JoAnn Miller (miller@netservice.com.mx). You can begin the next assignment before you get your feedback. You may be asked to rewrite something, but you cannot FAIL this course.) 

The purpose of this activity is to let you know what you will be able to do when you finish this course. Enjoy and don’t get scared away.

(1) This sites is a short introduction to the Internet. Just read it. If you are an Internet expert...skip this part.
