Mary Lindeen has been interested in learning about the world around her since she was a little girl growing up on a farm in Iowa. She thought learning new things was so much fun that she became an elementary school teacher. She loved sharing books with her students and wanted to know more about how those books were made, so she became an editor. Now she reads, writes, and edits children's books and still loves learning new things. She and her son live in Minnesota and enjoy traveling together whenever and wherever they can, including making frequent trips back to that farm in Iowa.
As the Internet is increasingly a part of all of our lives, it is
important for children to gain awareness of their role in a larger
digital society. This series promotes effective and responsible use
of technology by discussing topics such as internet safety, smart
Internet searches, reliable sources, cyberbullying, and many
others. It also stresses the permanent nature of the Internet, and
its ability to impact future employment opportunities, an important
concept for children to learn early. The information is detailed
and organized, with visual aides (photos, diagrams) to accompany
the text. VERDICT: This series would be a useful addition to any
public or school library collection to assist with lessons on
technology and how to be a good digital citizen.--School Library
