This Leader’s Guide will show you how to start a peer helping program and how to use the Peer Helper Handbook to teach peer helping and peer tutoring skills. It contains training material designed to be used with both middle school and high school students. Twenty training units cover the full array of peer helping and peer tutoring skills. Each unit can be presented to a group of trainees in a forty-minute session. Each unit has one or more exercises. All exercises are intentionally planned to have trainees work together in cooperative learning teams, either in pairs, triads, or small

The term "peer-to-peer" has come to be applied to networks that expect end users to contribute their own files, computing time, or other resources to some shared project. Even more interesting than the technology’s technical underpinnings is its socially disruptive potential: in various ways these systems return content, choice, and control to ordinary users. This book presents the goals that drive the developers of the best-known peer-to-peer systems, the problems they’ve faced, and the technical solutions they’ve found. The contributors are leading developers of we

Discover the true potential of peer-to-peer networks Napster, Kazaa, ICQ--file- and music-sharing peer-to-peer (P2P) networks have revolutionized the use of the Internet, but have also brought bad press to peer-to-peer computer networking. Yet P2P offers a great many legitimate benefits. Just witness the recent discovery of the largest prime number, a poster child for distributed computing! P2P is a class of applications that leverages previously unused Internet resources--storage, cycles, content, human presence. Instead of large, expensive servers and pricey storage networks, corporations an
