Global Virtual Classroom Contest

The Global Virtual Classroom Contest is a global team cooperation and web site-building activity for students from 7 to 18 years of age. Schools from around the world collaborate to build web sites that are judged on the quality of their content and presentation, and on the collaboration. Team 6-7-8's second and third period ASL/English students are teamed with students from two other schools, Hai- Tung  Primary School in Tainan City, Taiwan, and St. Therese Education Center in Parkville, Missouri.




Below are the various tasks the students will need to complete to create the web site. Visit the Links section for websites for this project.
