Professional Reviews

Boston Herald
BOSTON SUNDAY HERALD: "If your child is of homework age, a wonderful book for finding help on line is "Homework Help on the Internet" by Marianne J. Dyson (Scholastic, $3.95: ages 9-12). Each chapter tells where to find help on a particular subject, including American history, English, geography, math, science, and world history. The book also includes helpful tips on "Netiquette," safe surfing, and sites offering general homework help." - Jennifer Galvin, September 10, 2000.

The Sunday Advocate Magazine
THE SUNDAY ADVOCATE MAGAZINE: "There's no doubt that the Internet has impacted education in America. As Lisa Tramontana documents in the cover story of today's Magazine, people who home school their children are finding a wide variety of Web sites that can be used to supplement traditional pedagogic materials such as books, pencil and paper and chalkboards. ... Resources for reports, math, science, you-name-it are available on the Internet. I watched my 7-year-old doing multiplication tables on one homework site. It was amazing. He knew instantly if he had submitted the correct answer. ... The fact is, the Internet is with us. Those who are able make good use of it. Those you aren't labor under a handicap. The proliferation of education Web sites is documented in books such as Homework Help on the Internet by Marianne J. Dyson (Scholastic Reference, $3.95). ... There are pages and pages of web sites, including the one my son uses for homework practice: http://www.edu4kids.com/math. This is an excellent handbook and hits all the high points for children who want to try using the Internet for homework help. This includes those who use home computers and those who use computers at schools, libraries and other places." - Greg Langley, Books Editor, October 15, 2000.
