Life-skills and Curriculum
The Project provides an excellent practice for developing the skills and competencies students need to succeed. While working with topics related to social studies, history, literacy, students are also developing the competencies needed to use academic content.
One exciting outcome of participating is that both students and teachers often develop enduring relatinships for future classroom-to-classroom interactions with new friends from around the world.
