Projects

["Pat Jones@Mentor.Unh.Edu" <p_jones@MENTOR.UNH.EDU>]

I posted a question about e-mail project sources a month or so ago and
got very little response, so I have compiled a list of sources which I
garnered from various places. I'm sure there are more that can be added;
these are a good start, I hope.
  I have used IECC (Intercultural E-Mail Classroom) and had good success.
Their goal is "finding partner classrooms for internat'l and cross-cultural
electronic mail exchanges". You can subscribe to IECC at this address:
<iecc-request@stolaf.edu>; type   subscribe   in message line. They also
have a separate project component which you will learn about when you
subscribe to address above; its address is <iecc-projects-request@stolaf.
edu>; type  subscribe  in message line. You can see their archives to find
out the types of postings that are included  if you do this:

           St. Olaf sponsored mailing lists

KIDLINK is another service which lists projects. There are several components
ranging from discussion groups to projects. All are for children ages 10-15.
You can reach them by gopher kids.ccit.duq.edu 70  or
                       telnet 165.190.8.35 login:gopher
These sites will show you archives. To subscribe to KIDLINK and learn about
their service e-mail to <Listserv@VM1.NODAK.EDU>. Leave subject line blank;
type  subscribe firstname lastname in message.

I also reveived info from 2 subscription services (you will pay a fee for
these but they do much of the organizational/routing work which simplifies
a project which involves several schools).
  WORLD CLASSROOM links k-12 classrooms to work together on structured
curriculum activities in several subjects. E-mail <manager@glc.dallas.tx.
us>. For sample:telnet 198.140.162.1   login: demo4.
  I*EARN (International Education and Resource Network). Goal is for
students to use telecomunications in joint projects designed to make a
difference in the world as part of the educational process.

I have just started my first Internet project with 5th grade students; I'm
finding it a lot of work but well worth the effort! Hope this helps others
get started.
