Full Project Description:
This is a class to class exchange of postcards (snail mail or

friendships and can become a gateway to class to class exchanges of all

teachers and classes new to the internet.

in the world. However, join only if you have a serious desire to
participate and a commitment to complete your project obligation.
When we finish exchanging postcards (in Feb. 2002),
participants will be offered extensions to further student learning.
These include the "Mystery Class Game", online chats, and other
interactive activities. We will also, collectively, build a Project
Gallery which reflects the learning experience of all our participants.
A teacher discussion list establishes an educator community for sharing
information and for problem solving.

Subject: [DIG_REF] Bernie Sloan's Digital Reference Pages
Over the past several years I have compiled a number of Web resources
dealing with the topic of online or virtual or digital reference
services. I
now have enough links that I decided it might be a good idea to create
an
index to these resources.
This Web page offers links to those resources of mine that I think are
the
most useful:
