Cookie to take part in a cruise of the Internet so that you can jointly write a travel guide for your clients (students, teachers, and parents). As you investigate the ports of call (the lessons), you will learn critical information for you to include in the Tour Guide for Safe Travel on the Internet. Your successful completion of assignments will insure that the contents of your final guide will be accurate and up to date. Bon voyage!
