Global Virtual Classroom Results -- Last August, I mentioned my involvement in the Global Virtual Classroom, a cross-cultural, web-based collaboration program for kids. The cornerstone of the program is a contest in which, this re-launch year, 26 teams of 3 schools each from around the world built a set of very impressive websites, in two groups: Primary Schools (Grades 1-7), and Secondary Schools (Grades 8-12).
We're planning to repeat this effort again next year, and are still looking for some corporate sponsorship so we can upgrade our server and add new collaborative tools for the kids to use (secure video chat would be cool). So if you can pass the GVC Home Page along to anybody who might be able to help, it would be greatly appreciated.
Also, if your school, or your child's school might be interested in participating in this sort of thing, there's a form for joining a mailing list on the GVC Home Page. Registration for the 2004/05 contest will open around July and will be announced via that mailing list.
