This time it's called the School and Community Virtual Visit because students will also share with their partner school pictures and writing about themselves and their community. The project is designed for adult students who would like to collaborate and learn in a global environment using e-mail and the World Wide Web. Here's how it works: your class will be matched with a class in another part of the country or world. Here's what each class will do: Step 1: You and your students make a Web page of a tour of your class, school and community. You'll need access to a digital camera (or a regular camera and scanner) and you, your students, or someone will need to make and put up Web pages. Step 2: Your class looks at the Web page tour of your partner class and then your students email the students in your partner class questions about their community and school. Partner class students also e-mail you their questions about your Web page tour. Step 3: You answer each others' questions by e-mail, and possibly continue back and forth with more questions and answers. Step 4: You compile the questions and answers on a Web page and link these to your original Web page tour. All this general takes 3 - 5 months. If it sounds like a project you would like to learn more about and possibly participate in, join our Virtual Classroom and Community electronic list by sending a blank email message to: classvv-subscribe@listbot.com and visit our Web site of projects from the last two years at http://www.otan.dni.us/webfarm/emailproject/school.htm We look forward to having you join us.
