Projects Using E-Mail

Here are some project ideas or websites with suitable project ideas for teachers who wish to use e-mail personally or with students to enhance educational projects.  The ideas range from pen-pals (to develop language skills and awareness of other cultures or parts of the world/country) to ideas involving students as data collectors for large scale science experiments.  In addition to the sites below, try doing a search to find more specific project ideas (or modify some of the ideas proposed at these sites to fit your needs!)

• Connie Schrock's web guide to online projects
• Ask an Expert
• Ask a Geologist
• The Global SchoolNet Foundation's Geogame
