Below are some of the projects she describes. The Information Search One version of this project involves providing clues to students who compete against other classrooms to be the first to solve a mystery, such as school identity in Geogame. Another way to involve students in searching for information is to conduct a research project. Last year's 7th-grade science class researched animals using online resources. To learn about the project and the resources these students made available to others investigating animals, visit the Animals Around the World homepage. using the Web to Animals Around the World Electronic Process Writing.
Students post their work on the Internet to get feedback from the larger community.
This kind of project would benefit both regular classroom students and home school students who do not usually have a peer group available to provide an audience for feedback and evaluation. Students at the home site start a story and send it out to partners who write the next section. They in turn pass it on to someone else who finishes it off and returns it to the original site. This kind of creative activity can also be worked through a fine arts curriculum with the use of fax machines or computer graphics. Student work can then be published on the World Wide Web if the school has a home page.
