With five dozen objects and the background that accompanies them, and approximately 400 CD-ROM images and their descriptions, our resources immerse students and teachers in many aspects of life. But we have a small budget. Parent-Teacher groups are often happy to help out. Some schools partner with other schools in their district to co-purchase the collections. Some use grants or Title I funds, or ask their local business groups to contribute.
Some schools begin with just one collection, and add a new one each year.
If your community has made a commitment to in-depth, meaningful Global Education, you will probably find support. For schools that don't have the budget this year, start with our affordable Classroom Resources . Our school is emphasizing technology skills right now. 11 or 12 CD-ROMs included with each collection, compatible with PCs or Mac computers. In addition, each of the images is available as a .jpeg or .tiff file, for student-created presentations.
