ABSTRACT
Students enter through your classroom door, and if you're lucky enough to have windows, sunshine further illuminates your setting. Today, more and more teachers are discovering that students can leave your classroom at any moment through the phosphorescent window of their computer screen, travel half way around the planet to gather data, meet new people, or exchange ideas; and return with exciting information-all before the bell rings at the end of the period. This magical formula for learning takes place when you connect your classroom to the online world known poetically as "cyberspace." This paper discusses some general methods for developing projects between students from different locations through the use of telecommunications. The author has drawn upon his experiences in developing project-based curricula and his online research. The majority of the methods cited in this paper have been abstracted from projects found in the Electronic Schoolhouse (located on America Online information service network). Many of the specific methods were abstracted from Emery Roth's fully articulated curriculum:

More Than Just Key Pals
by Tammy Payton This article has appeared on the following website: the Well Connected Educator
This article has appeared in the magazine Library Talk , Linworth Publishing, January/February 1999. page 25-27. Articles and Interviews What do you say? What can you do? This article addresses tips on finding pen pals, safety issues you need to discuss with your class, and activity ideas you can do with your partner class. Three Ways to Find Key Pals
  • Visit a Site that Hosts Key Pal Information As schools go on line, more sites will be developed to help educators use the Internet. The sites listed below invite educators around the world to fill out a form and submit their class into their database. Visitors can browse through this database and then contact any class that they would like to correspond with. Just because you've requested to become a pen pal with that class, does not guarantee that they will want to correspond with you. Wait until you get a confirmation from them before announcing to your class and their parents, that you will be exchanging e-mail with another class. Suggested websites to visit are: eMail Classroom Exchange
    At this site, you'll not only find an ever growing database of classes, but you'll find a conference room where your class can chat with your pen pal!

Goal One: Plan a Large Scale Email Exchange Description of Project: for an email exchange with one or more school groups in a region that your class is studying, you and colleagues are to develop a year-long project that will include email exchanges between one or more schools.
    As part of the year-long exchange effort, you have agreed that all your FL classes will participate in some way during the year.
    You have decided to begin with a class-to-class endeavor, (NOT an individual-to-individual keypal project for now) since this is the first exchange for you and your students. At this point, you are not clear how often and for which specific activities your individual classes will be involved. However, you have agreed that the interaction will include the following:
  • an Information Exchange by groups of students:

    COOL TEACHING LESSONS AND UNITS ALONG WITH RESOURCES FOR TEACHERS AND STUDENTS Short Cuts: WEBQUEST UNITS RESEARCH MODULES ONLINE PROJECTS READY MADE UNITS ... STUDENT RESOURCES Some personal notes about this web page: It is designed as a resource for teachers K-12 who wish to find quality ready-made units and lessons for all subjects, or who wish to develop their own units. This page emphasizes engaged learning models such as WebQuests, Research Modules and Project-Based Learning, but links include other forms of lessons and tutorials. Included also are sites to help you build your own units as well as some examples of sources to help students do research.
    Some of these units depend on the ability of students to do interactive work with others using technology. However, even if you have one or no computer in your classroom, most of the units linked at this site can be of much help. They are great learning experiences not only because of technology, but because they also involve students in activities that challenge them to solve problems by doing quality research, analyzing information, synthesizing possibilities, making judgments and then creating interesting products in order to communicate their results. Technology can be used as tools in making these exciting learning experiences even deeper, richer and more motivating.
    There is no glitz in this page - just links to wonderful ways for your students to learn. Enjoy!
