This report will go into each child's portfolio. Using the Internet, students are sharing data from their own lake study project with students as far away as Russia. They are also following an arctic training expedition, questioning and receiving information from the explorers. They are searching the school district online catalog, a database of statewide library resources and online magazine indexes, and a laser disc of resources from the Library of Congress. Among the resources selected by one student are primary source newspapers, a videotaped documentary, an audio recording of folk songs, along with books and magazine articles.
Electronic mail is used to request some items through interlibrary loan.
