Abstract
A critical overview of the use of the World Wide Web for education in general and computational physics education in particular is given. Some strengths and weaknesses in teaching physics on the Web are indicated, with samples taken from the author's research group. The Web is shown to be a natural for CP education. It is argued that the Web is useful elsewhere when the focus is kept on pedagogy and usability before technology, and when there is some way of imposing structural coherence, such as provided by a printed text or a course. It is concluded that the best use of the Web is probably when it provides elements that would be difficult or impossible to obtain otherwise, and when it is intermixed with a human element.
