The Anglican Church Grammar School, Brisbane, have instigated a WWW Mentor Group to encourage other staff members to utilise this information source. Their role is to investigate WWW sites and share them with their faculty specific to particular work units, and to assist the faculty head in developing curriculum material that involves the Internet. The Mentors are 'rewarded' with their own e-mail address and assistance in developing their subject WWW page. For further details contact: [email protected]
