INTERNET
It all started...National Science Foundation. The Internet started as a Defense Department experiment over 25 years ago in 1969. It was called ARPANET.

The Internet is like an ocean. It is a great resource, huge and no one owns it.
You could drift aimlessly, become stranded or get eaten by sharks! Fortunately, you can use navigation tools to rescue yourself.

Your most valuable resources:
Your Colleagues
Your Students
Your community
The world
