Internet access Primary (Grades 1-7) and Secondary (Grades 8-12, or equivalent) classes and youth groups around the world that have access to the Internet and are able to use the Web and FTP are eligible to apply. Number and age of students within specified range A group must have 15-40 students, between 7 and 18 years old as of September. If more than 40 students would like to participate, please apply as two groups and submit separate applications. Technical skill requirements The teacher in charge must be familiar with HTML authoring and FTP, capable of helping students build web pages with text and graphic links, and of uploading and downloading files via FTP tools. Contact us for more information. Commitment to the project Teacher and students must be willing to make a serious commitment to collaborating with their partner schools for the duration of the project. Our emphasis is on teamwork across cultural and geographic distances, something that is much harder than working together in the same room or even the same country. This year, teachers will be required to sign a “Team Contract” as part of the team registration procedure. Details about the Contract are available elsewhere in this Orientation Guide.
