As we consider the use of the Internet and email in the classroom, two important questions must be answered from a broad point of view:

a) How will you use email in your classroom to support instruction?
b) How will you assess online projects?

Instructional Technology would like to partner with you and your campus to assess the impact of these projects in your classroom.

1. Web-based Electronic Collaboration Projects through Email
   • Information Exchanges
     (http://www.mwsu.edu/~educ/coe/structures/structures.htm)
     Email projects range from comparative culture studies to foreign
     language practice to writers' workshops to scientific data compilation and analysis, helping students to collaboratively explore everything from folk games as reflections of culture, to grammatical rules, to the use of metaphor in original poetry, to the
     severity of pollutants in different places along a common river.
   • Global Classroom projects
   • Electronic Publishing
     
2. Participating in Online Projects
   • Intercultural Email Classroom Connections (http://www.iecc.org/)
   • TeleMentors (http://www.iearn.org/circles/mentors.html)
   • KidProj (http://www.kidlink.org/KIDPROJ/)
     
3. Web Quests & Subject Samplers
   • Tom March's Activity Formats
   • Dr. Bernie Dodge's WebQuest Page
