IDEAS
FOR ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION
 |
Electronic
Pen Pals: messages are exchanged with peers
in another school, state, or country.
Consider cross-cultural or cross-age pairings or
groups. May be done at individual or group
levels.

 |
Peer-to-Peer
Tutoring (aka electronic mentoring): links
students with others who provide
one-on-one assistance and guidance on a routine
basis. May use email or chat.

Round-Robin
Publishing: a class or group starts a
story with one paragraph and sends it to another
class. Students work to add a new
paragraph to the story, and the story variations
rotate to the next class.

HTML
Publishing: this may be as simple as a
student homepage created by typing in a form, or
as elaborate as creating entire web sites.
