Problem When teaching about the Internet people find it difficult to accept the idea that the Internet is World Wide Web, where the necessary information can be found without using any resources. Solution: Getting acquainted with the possibilities www.google.com/maps offers, learners get acquainted with the extensive possibilities provided by the Internet, and they can relate them to a real life situation and necessity.
