UPCOMING PROJECT
Internet Project-PROJECT 2-Objective

Use e-mail and the Internet to share information about your city or environment with students from other areas.
Materials

Digital camera
USB cable connector
Computer equipped with image-processing software
Internet access and a classroom e-mail account

Procedure
Determine what the focus of your project will be. For example, you could share cultural information or gather environmental data, such as water quality.Contact a school in another location and propose that they do a similar project so that you can exchange information. Work with your teacher to plot out the project timeline on a classroom calendar. Identify tasks and break into teams. If you choose a water-quality monitoring project, travel to the stream, riverbed, or lake location. Work with your team and conduct water-quality tests. Document the process and appearance of the water with digital cameras.
If you choose a cultural exchange project, work with classmates to identify notable landmarks, institutions, and features of your area. Work with your team to photograph them and write descriptive narratives. Work as a class to create a summary report and send it by e-mail with photo attachments to your project partners. Read your project partners' contributions and compare your data or descriptions to the ones you sent.

Extension
Create a digital scrapbook to illustrate the project and share it with the school community.
