A couple of ideas for schoolwide programs that would be good grant projects
involving the Internet are:

* The Happy Valley School (K-6) in Santa Cruz (CA) received $34,000 in grants
for an Internet program that ranged from electronic pen pals to creative
writing to virtual investing.

* "Vocal Point: A Collaborative, Student Run Online Newspaper" this was done
by teachers in Boulder and Boulder Valley Colorado.

*  Constructing and publishing student projects on the Web -- Great work in
this area has been coordinated by Area Education Agency #7 in Cedar Falls,
Iowa.

Complete descriptions of these can be found in _The Internet for Teachers and
School Library Media Specialists_ by Edward J. Valauskas and Monica Ertel
(Neal-Schuman, 1996).
