In the School Connectivity Project, students and teachers in the U.S. and
Southeast Europe work collaboratively on projects. A common curriculum
promotes mutual understanding, tolerance, and sharing about cultural
similarities and history. The curriculum adapts easily to many classes,
including Western Civilization, European or American history, Civics,
Morality and Ethics, Journalism, computer and technology classes, or
others. School Connectivity is an alternative education program that helps
you to increase your use of technology in the classroom, broaden your
students' perspective, and give your students the chance to be active
participants with international partners in a project that they help to
create. What better preparation for their participation in tomorrow's
world?
The School Connectivity project is sponsored by the U.S. State Department
and implemented by Catholic Relief Services, and will begin in January 2003
in public and private schools.
Objectives:
The program goals of the two-year project are as follows:
* Inter-ethnic dialogue will increase among schools in Southeastern
Europe and the United States via the use of Internet technology;
* Mutual understanding between U.S. and Southeast Europe Schools
will be more fully-developed through multi-partite linkages utilizing the
experience of colleagues and peers; and
* Communication between youth will facilitate joint learning and
project work and generate personal and institutional ties among students,
educations, and schools across borders.

Subject: T2T> Teachers Flea Market
Here is a great auction site for teachers. Ebay can be overwhelming.
The owner told me that the fees for listing will be waved for a few
months. Even when the site charges fees -- they are reasonable. So
clean out your closets and sell the education stuff you don't use.
AND check out what is being auctioned.
