	Course Homepage Course Modules: Online Community Background Information Basic Web Searching Managing Resources Advanced Web Searching Comprehensive Web Search Strategies Course Projects Assessment	What the Web is… The Web has been remarkable in that its founders "self-documented" its birth and early development online. You will use resources located on the web. As you will see, several of these websites were actually created by the founders of the Internet and the World Wide Web. I suggest that you start with the visualizations of the web found at the "Atlas of Cyberspace" link. You could literally spend all your free time for the next several weeks exploring the Internet and Web history links and still not exhaust them all so don’t feel obligated to look at everything. Just explore until you have a sense of the physical infrastructure underlying the Web and its birth and development. You can always return to this corner of the course website at a later date if you develop an interest in this aspect of the Web. Open the TEC 3012 digital logbook. Record the time you began and ended your online exploration. Click here to go to the History of the Web course webpage. When you finish your exploration, send me an e-mail message describing your initial impressions on what the Web is. Title the message TEC 3012 the web is... The next activity will explore what the Web does. continue
