About Me
Teacher for 48 years in both private and public elementary and middle schools. Currently retired - kind of, though active in collaboration, especially the Global Virtual Classroom [www.virtualclassroom.org] for which I am program manager.
GVC's vision is to empower, enable and connect students around the world using Internet technology. It provides students with a stimulating, positive and enjoyable environment along with the opportunity to develop skills that are essential in the 21st century: cross-cultural communication, collaboration through teamwork, information technology and website design.

The major projects of the GVC are the annual Contest and the Clubhouse Program. During the Contest, teams from schools from around the world compete in an effort to build websites that best meet contest objectives. Each team is made up of students from schools in different countries working together. The websites are judged on the quality of their content and presentation, effective collaboration, and a focus on helping others through knowledge or activities. The contest runs from October through April, with winners announced and cash prizes awarded in May.

The Clubhouse is a non-competitive flexible program focused on collaborative learning. Projects can include any topics such as: language class exchanges, environmental research, collaborative science projects, and discussion groups. This program can begin at any time and last months or multiple years.

Whether students participate in the GVC contest or the interactive GVC Clubhouse, they will all be “winners” of an expanded worldwide perspective through the broadening experience of the Global Virtual Classroom. [See program comparison.]

Hi Janet,
Good to see you on Ning, too. Thanks for getting the GVC message out to everyone. I have not been able to find another Indiana school who participates. If you are aware of one, would you please let me know?
Best to you,
Rick
