Global SchoolNet Foundation brings to this web page 11 years of experience working with students in educational networking. This page will enable teachers to conduct online collaborative learning projects with their students, projects which have been tested with other students and found to be successful. The projects not only involve K-12 students in using reading, writing, and computer skills, but also put them in communication with other students around the globe, and give them strong motivation to improve their skills and learn the technology. Examples of the projects are NewsDay, a project where kids act as reporters for their areas, post their news articles, and create a newspaper; Tele-Field trips, where students question other students about their travel experiences; Geogame, in which kids from different areas around the world describe their cities to help each other learn geography; Internet Night at Dodger Stadium, where kids interview players via CU-SeeMe. By connecting students through the Internet. Global SchoolNet hopes to foster cultural, environmental, and socio-political understanding around the world. Other opportunities offered at this website are contests with prizes, International Schools CyberFair 97, desktop video conferencing, an easy-to-follow Web tutorial, news and discussion groups, Usenet conferences for educators, and many other youth and education programs.
