Internet Projects

Internet projects can be an important and valuable learning experience for your students. They often involve language arts, geography, science, math, and cultural exchanges.

I have taken part in several of the projects listed. They are marked with a .  You will need to plan ahead for your project to be sure you and the class are ready, and that you will be able to complete it.

Suggested project levels: 

L= grades K-2  M=grades 3-5  U=6-8       

Postcard Geography - It appears that this project is no longer available from Cyberbee.  If you still want to do something like this, I would suggest using the epal project below and ask  the classes you email to exchange postcards with you. Have a map and a place to display the postcards you receive.

Journey North - This project engages students in a global study of wildlife migration and seasonal change. My third grade class was chosen as a mystery class for this project in 1999. Other classes had to guess where we were located  based on clues we gave. You can go here to see the introduction of our class at the end of the project. (MU)

Flat Stanley Project - This project is based on the book Flat Stanley. It involves the students in writing, art, and map experiences. Flat Stanley is sent to other places via conventional mail, but other correspondence can be done via e-mail. (LM)

Geo Game - This is an excellent project in which students learn geography terms, how to read and interpret maps, and increase an awareness and appreciation of geographical and cultural diversity. (MU)

epals - This is an international keypal program in which students email their peers around the world. You can put a description in the search such as Christian, home school, gifted, special ed, or other if you want to limit your correspondence to specific groups. Younger classes can construct a class letter to send. (LMU)

World Weather Watch - Students will learn about weather in their own area and in other parts of the world.
