Project Dates: February to May 1999.

During 1997 my Year Two and Three Class participated in four online projects with schools in America. Being part of those projects was a rewarding experience, both for the children in my class and for myself.

The Rocky Shore project has been designed to give ten classes
of K - 3 children the opportunity to show case their work on the world wide web.

As part of the project, web pages have been set up to provide teachers and young children with internet resource activities about the Rocky Shore.

Teachers will need Internet Access and E mail.

Each participating class will have their own web page. Teachers can either Snail Mail or E Mail children's work to the above address.

All art work, writing, photos etc to be forwarded to the co ordinator by Snail Mail or E Mail before the end of May 1999. As work is received it will be displayed on the web. All classes will be notified by E Mail as soon as work goes online.

I have access to a scanner and a digital camera. Photos of children's art work may be sent in to be scanned and put online.

It is envisaged that teachers / classes, select three or four pieces of art work to be displayed on their class web page and that all children from each class contribute some writing about the Rocky Shore. The writing may be a simple recount of a trip to the beach, poetry, an imaginative story or factual writing related to creatures studied. It is teachers choice!
