As some of you know, I work for Winn, and I've subscribed to a few lists for teachers, some of them Computer Science teachers. Oiy! There are, from an admittedly unrepresentative sample, too many computer science teachers who don't have a clue. Scary!

The first book in Schwartau's new series dealing with Internet safety, "Internet and Computer Ethics for Kids" is a witty, colorful and extensively illustrated book written in an easy-to-understand, non-technical format.
