How Do We Participate in Virtual China `97?

Preparing to Travel Along Virtually

First, for those teachers and students who may not yet be subscribed to KIDLINK, student participation is limited to students who are 10-15 years of age. Students need to subscribe to KIDLINK and KIDPROJ by sending an email message to:

listserv@listserv.nodak.edu

In the body of the message include the following text:

SUBSCRIBE KIDLINK yourfirstname yourlastname
SUBSCRIBE KIDPROJ yourfirstname yourlastname

(you must subscribe to KIDLINK before subscribing to KIDPROJ, therefore the order is important)

Once subscribed to KIDLINK, each student needs to answer the following four questions and send his/her answers to:

RESPONSE@listserv.nodak.edu

The questions are:

  1. Who am I?
  2. What do I want to be when I grow up?
  3. How do I want the world to be better when I grow up?
  4. What can I do now to make this happen?
If your WWW Browser supports forms, you can answer the four questions via WWW from the Response page.

Pre-Travel Questions

Does your group have any questions that you would like us find the answers for? Please send your question to the KIDPROJ list before April 1, 1997 and we will try to find out the answers during our travel in China. Send questions via email to:

KIDPROJ@listserv.nodak.edu

In the subject line please put:
Virtual China:Pre-travel Question

Please be sure to include the name of your school and email address.

Traveling Along with the Study Groups

All messages from the groups traveling in China will be posted on the KIDPROJ listserve environment. If you have subscribed as directed above you will automatically receive the messages emanating from China. Our students will be "working" in small groups which will be responsible for observing, recording, and researching topics such as education, transportation, agriculture, religion, industry, pollution, etc.... as they travel. If you have any questions for a group(s) they should be sent to:

KIDPROJ@listserv.nodak.edu

On the "Subject" line please type the following:
Virtual China: (intended travelling group)
Examples:

This year's question catagories are:

This will help us direct the question to the appropriate student group(s) for a response.

From the web, post your questions to the Virtual China97 WWWBoard following the same instructions above.
