One project, Stellaluna's Friends, gave students around the world the opportunity to conduct research on bats and share their new knowledge with others via the Internet. Work by their students provides an exceptional resource for other young children around the world. Listen to children read their Space Alphabet Book , listen to Beth and her students being interviewed about their work studying monarch butterflies, view images in the classroom microscope cam, study the time line children created of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s life and accomplishments, enjoy poems children have written about the wind, learn from children's research about famous women, or study the bus safety rules this class has developed. Besides being an exceptional model for a classroom homepage, these curriculum resources are being used by primary classrooms around the world. This project location provides a wonderful way to integrate the language arts and social studies.
Students research and develop a five-city journey around the world.
Then they exchange clues to the locations with their Internet partners. Each student attempts to discover the cities and the travel itinerary of the other.
