Target: Web sites for collaborative student projects

[Nancy Evans <revans@TIGGER.STCLOUD.MSUS.EDU>]

How do you "sell" the Internet to teachers and administrators when you
don't have an Internet connection at school?  I am going to try by bringing
in my hardware from home and inviting a group at a time to come for a
30-minute tour.

I want/need to WOW them!  I intend to have bookmarks set in advance for the
very best sites.

In addition to showing what a powerful research tool the Internet is, I
want to show them all the opportunities available for collaborative student
projects, and this is where I need your help.  What sites do you know of?

I have Web66 and its "Live From the Hubble Space Telescope" project that is
getting ready to begin this spring.  I have TIES.K12.MN and its "Journey
North" project that just started its new run yesterday.

What else is out there for our students to get involved in?  What are some
of your experiences using these sites?

If you want to include your favorite student "research" site as well, I'll
be sure to include it/them in my bookmarks.

Respond to me personally, and I will post a hit.

Thanks so much!
