and, of course, community discussions, movie discussions, class
newspaper article exchange, and whatever else you and your students

The International Classroom and School Virtual Visit (Virtual School)
project is beginning its eighth year, linking classrooms across the
world to enable students to meet each other virtually, share
information about their cultures, their classrooms, and their
communities, and to build cultural understanding. Classes can include
English as a Second or Other Language (ESOL/ESL), Adult Basic
Education (ABE, GED), elementary or secondary education, or family
literacy. Students can be
from age seven to adult.
As in past years, we hope classes will engage in lively written
discussion, and possibly choose a film, book or current event to
discuss. This year we have set up a free wiki, so classes don't have
to create their own web pages, and we will help teachers to use free
Internet telephony so their classes can talk to each other if they
can find a time that works to do that.
If you would like to participate in this year's project,
1. Sign up on the I.C.V.V. e-list by going to:
http://lists.literacytent.org/mailman/listinfo/icvv
Scroll down the page to choose an ID and password. That's it,
easy and free.
2. Once you receive confirmation that you are on the I.C.V.V. e-list,
send an e-mail to:
icvv@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
indicating your interest in participating this year. Be sure to
describe your class, when it will begin, and what age group
or
nationality you would prefer to partner with.
If you would like to look at classroom virtual visit projects from
previous years go to:

and then choose

We look forward to your joining the project. Let one of us know if
you have questions.
All the best,
