Web66: A K12 World Wide Web Project
Stephen E. Collins, Webmaster
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 K-12 schools. The goals of this project
are: 1. To help K-12 educators learn how to set up their own Internet
servers. 2. To link K-12 web servers and the educators and students at those
schools. 3. To help K-12 educators find and use K-12 appropriate resources
on the web.
