Classes can include English as a Second or Other Language (ESOL/ESL), Adult Basic Education (ABE, GED), elementary or secondary education, or family literacy. Students can be from age seven to adult. As in past years, we hope classes will share student-to-student questions and answers, and possibly choose a film, book or current event which the partner classes can discuss. This year we also hope some sites will use blogs, wikis, and free Internet telephony. If you would like to participate in this year's project, 1. Sign up on the I.C.V.V. e-list by going to: http://lists.literacytent.org/mailman/listinfo/icvv Scroll down the page to choose an ID and password. That's it, easy and free. 2. Once you receive confirmation that you are on the I.C.V.V. e-list, send an e-mail to: icvv@lists.literacytent.org indicating your interest in participating this year. Be sure to describe your class, when it starts, and what age group or nationality, if any, you would prefer to partner with.
