Announcing the new Project Harmony teachers' listserv!
PH-TEACH is a new on-line discussion forum for educators to discuss
practical and theoretical issues relating to the use of e-mail and the
Internet for educational exchange with international partners. This list
is owned and moderated by Project Harmony and is administered in
conjunction with the Internet School Linkage Program funded by the Soros
Open Society Institute.
The primary impetus for creating this list came from Project Harmony's
Internet School Linkage Program. This program matches 15 US high schools
with 15 schools in the NIS. Computer teams in each school will work
closely with their colleagues in their partner school to develop and
implement Internet-based educational projects in a variety of subject
areas. We invite other teachers to become involved with this program by
taking part in on-line discussions and working to develop projects with
other interested schools. This list can be a great place to find partners
and expand ideas.
The list aims to:
* stimulate new and innovative project ideas, primarily for students at the
secondary school level
* assist teachers in the US and NIS to find colleagues abroad who are
interested in collaborating on project development
* facilitate an exchange of experiences and lessons learned from those who
have carried out such projects
* exchange information and reviews of on-line resources (websites,
listservs, etc.) of interest to teachers
* post questions regarding technical, administrative or pedagogical issues
of educational use of the Internet
We encourage all interested educators to join the list. When you join the
list, please introduce yourself to the group.
Be sure to include:
- who you are and the location of your school
- current partnerships your school has or would be
interested in finding
- grade level and subject areas you teach
- any specific areas or topics of interest
- short description of how you use or would like to use
e-mail and Internet in your classes.
