Students are selected to keyboard their information into the computer. Assistance must be provided with this process. The information is e-mailed to the receiving group. Many questions must be answered about this e-mail process. Additional questions must be answered when the e-mail is received from the cooperating group.
Students learn their school has similarities and differences with other schools.
Their sense of community has been expanded with the additional information. My students illustrate all their writings. If a scanner had been available, I would have scanned their material. Keyboarding is quite difficult for this age group.
