Internet in the Classroom
Class Projects
Your class can participate in projects that link them to other students and/or experts via the Internet. Some are fee-based.

Picture your classroom--desks and chairs, books, art supplies, windows, doors, walls...

You probably work very hard to make your classroom inviting and comfortable. It's a place where your students feel welcomed to learn. What about the size of your room? What if your principal walked in and told you that funds have become available for you to enlarge your classroom. That you will have unlimited access to resources and experts?

You've most likely guessed that you're not really getting a larger room. However, in a virtual sense through the Internet, your classroom can expand beyond its walls into the vast space of the "global community." It's exciting to think that your students can connect with and study with students and teachers all around the world. Your students can become active members in online study through web-based projects.
