Extract

The Internet has revolutionised communication around the globe, and Australia is no exception (Goodheart & Crawford, 1995). At this stage, only a few school guidance counsellors are fortunate enough to be able to “surf the Net”, although this is rapidly changing, with some Australian schools already connected and others about to join up shortly. The pace of change is rapid indeed, with developments like EdNA and OpenNet offering further possibilities. Those who do “get wired” will know just how deep a source of riches this can be. The purpose of this article is to outline some of the relevant discussion groups of interest to counsellors.
