with international experts. The organization also does custom designed
programs for teachers.

international schools with
videoconferencing capabilities. It also
organizes multi-point events
between schools around the world and
content providers.

videoconferences.
IEARN
This global network enables schools to
use technologies, including
videoconferencing, to collaborate on

project ideas.
Finding Collaborative Videoconference Projects
AT&T Listserv
Have an idea for a class-to-class
videoconference, but need to find a
class? Post your idea on this
listserv, which is read by educators
nationwide. Want to see the ideas

Collaborations Around
the Planet
(CAP)
CAP is an online network for schools
interested in collaborative
projects.
Read-Across-The Planet
Each year, schools across the country
(and possibly across the globe)
connect during the first week of March
to celebrate literacy and Dr.
Seuss’s birthday. This is a great way to
meet another class and get
your “feet wet” with class-to-class
videoconferencing.
