It
is the variety of perspectives and voices in Addressing
the World which allow it to be integrated
into both introductory and advanced courses in diverse
subjects like sociology, political science, cultural
studies, technology studies, law, history, geography,
business, marketing and journalism.
After reading the entire book, or
even the introduction and a couple of chapters, students
at all levels will gain the ability to look critically
at the list of county codes, Internet domain names,
and the world we live in.
Because the codes, and in many cases
their namesakes, are relatively unfamiliar, studying
them is an excellent personal as well as group activity.
Papers can easily become class presentations, debates
and website projects; as a result, mirroring the development
of the Internet itself, students will learn from their
own work as well as that of their classmates.
There are virtually limitless ways
to integrate the book into a larger curriculum. This
website will publish selected student
work that is sent to us. As you consiser using Addressing
the World in your class, please order an examination
copy. |
