The Internet: A Special Resource for Special Educators.

This guide to the Internet is geared toward special education teachers. Descriptions of various resources, including discussion groups (sometimes known as LISTSERVS) or conferences that appear to be beneficial for educators who instruct students with learning disabilities, are provided. The explosion in communication via the information superhighway is discussed. The World Wide Web and SPEDTALK, a forum for people to discuss current issues about practices, policies, and research in special education, are described and evaluated. Individual testimonials on the helpfulness of the Internet are recounted. Examples from SPEDTALK in their original form are provided. Caution is given to users on the amount of material they may receive through electronic mail. (CR)
