Internet & Technology Courses
-----------------------------

#811  EXPLORING THE INTERNET:

This introductory class explores the basics of getting started on the
Internet. Last winter, this popular workshop attracted over 40,000
students from 128 countries!  The class examines how the Internet got
started, how to send and receive e-mail, how to subscribe to news groups
and mailing lists and other essentials. Ideal for beginners or a good
refresher course for intermediate users.

Creative Writing & Journalism Workshops
---------------------------------------

#541  EIGHT WEEKS TO CREATIVE WRITING:

Develop your creative writing abilities, sharpen your powers of
observation, and expand your vocabulary with this 8-week series of
self-guided exercises designed to fine-tune your creativity and help you
become a more powerful and eloquent communicator.

#550  WRITING FOR PUBLICATION:

Learn the nuts and bolts of writing for publication in a real-life setting
-- as a working member of the Virtual Free Press editorial staff!  Start
at square one, learning to write an effective query letter to pitch a
story idea.  Work with the editors on developing content, researching
leads, meeting deadlines, etc.  Or work the other side of the desk as an
editor or news director -- supervise writers, give assignments, decide
what stories get published, and co-ordinate the layout and design of your
section of the magazine. Learn first-hand what goes into creating a
successful publication!

Gain experience this summer, meet new friends that share your love of
writing, and receive by-line credit for your work to start or enhance your
professional writers' resume!

INTERNET FOCUS GROUPS & WORKSHOPS
---------------------------------

Focus groups provide an opportunity for "hands-on" learning rather than
just reading lessons and doing homework. This Summer, we are introducing
12 focus groups that will explore popular Internet resources.  Each focus
group will consist of 20-30 students, and your "exploring team" will work
together, gathering all the knowledge you can from various online sources.
By the end of the summer, you'll be an expert on your chosen subject!
