Abstract
The purpose of the project was to develop a curriculum of Internet instruction for parents of Washington Middle School students. Through a review of the current literature it was found that the recurring lack of communication between parents, students, and educators was identified as a barrier for involving families in their students' education. To overcome this barrier, four sessions of insturction and practice were developed to increase the families' abilitiy to communicate with their children's educators. The sessions introduce the basic layout and function of computers, the internet, using email for communications, skills vital for finding information on the internet, and local, free access internet providers."
