WELCOME to the 194th Issue of EduHound Weekly! EduHound Weekly Archives at: http://www.eduhound.com/eduhoundweeklyarchives.cfm From the Desk of Judi! This week's topic is: THE INTERNET Thirty-five years ago, in September/October of1969, a team from Bolt Beranek and Newman (BBN) installed the first Interface Message Processors (IMPs) at UCLA and Stanford and the first host computer was connected. Some sites to help in this effort: History of the Internet, Internet for Historians (and just about everyone else) The Internet is an innovation (or rather a series of innovations) that enables communication and transmission of data between computers at different locations. It is an extremely new scientific development, but that does not mean that we cannot analyse it historically, using the concepts that we apply to other innovations in the past. http://www.let.leidenuniv.nl/history/ivh/frame_theorie.html Hobbes' Internet Timeline An Internet timeline highlighting some of the key events and technologies that helped shape the Internet as we know it today. http://www.zakon.org/robert/internet/timeline/ How Internet Infrastructure Works One of the greatest things about the Internet is that nobody really owns it. It is a global collection of networks, both big and small. These networks connect together in many different ways to form the single entity that we know as the Internet. http://computer.howstuffworks.com/internet-infrastructure.htm Good Luck! judi EduHound Spotlight Site of the Week!

Journal's Calendar at: http://www.theconferencecalendar.com Ask Judi! This week features a wonderful offering from the American Museum of Natural History: FROGS: A CHORUS OF COLORS @ AMNH http://www.amnh.org/exhibitions/frogs/ From lush rainforests to parched deserts, frogs are found in nearly every environment on Earth, and their survival strategies range from surprising to bizarre. The American Museum of Natural History has one of the largest frog collections in the world. AMNH expeditions to remote mountaintops, as well as surveys of local wetlands, continue to uncover new populations and species—but also reveal environmental changes that threaten frogs' existence. Many efforts are underway to reverse this downward trend globally and in our own backyards. As just one example, all of the live frogs displayed in this exhibition have been captive-bred, to protect their populations in the wild. Good Luck!
