"Hands Across the Sea" was a telecommunications project which allowed our high school German department to have E-MAIL, FAX, and video-tape exchanges with our German Partner School. It has been a wonderful experience for both schools, and a true link of friendship has been forged through telecommunications and technology. (1991)

Henry A. Kranendonk

The "Let's Connect-Connecting Disciplines Through Data Analysis" project is to develop a comprehensive school-wide project directed at collecting, analyzing, and communicating student-centered data. The first phase of the project is entitled "Understanding Your School!" This part of the project consists of four modules designed to involve secondary students. The modules are designed to be completed by a variety of disciplines and classes. Providing students meaningful data about their schools opens up the potential for communication outside of the school. This phase moves students into a potential of school-to-school communication by way of electronic networks, highlighting the theme of the project, "Let's Connect!" (1994)

The project "Development of an Outdoor Education Facility" involves the creating of a nature center which exposes students of all ages to hands-on environmental education. That goal is reached not only through science class but through English and art classes that use the nature center as well. The ultimate objective is to create lifelong practitioners of environmental stewardship. (1989)
