Enviro-Info
2001
Enviro-Info 2001 is aimed at a broad spectrum of interest groups
- from the tourist, who wants to know something more about the
physical and socio-economic environment of one of the most beautifull
countries, to teachers, scholars and students who need information
on a variety of subjects. It only seems logical that a product
covering such a broad spectrum of interest groups will have to
reveal a weak spot somewhere. In this case the product may be slightly
advanced for the lower school grades. In general, however, Enviro-Info
2001 can be seen as a very valuable resource for outcomes-based
education and it may even be of great value to lower school grades
with the necessary guidance provided by teachers. Of special interest
in this regard may be the various "Kids' Sites" referred
to in the South African and international web directories which
cover a wide variety of subjects. |
