Award-Winning Web Sites
The Global Virtual Classroom Contest is a global team cooperation and website-building activity for students from 7 to 18 years of age. Using Internet technologies to communicate, up to 100 teams of three schools each will build Websites on topics of their choosing. Each team will consist of three schools from three different countries. Team websites will be judged by a panel of VIP judges.

Any group that meets a few basic criteria:
  • The group may be a classroom, extracurricular activity group, club or other teacher-led, school-sponsored student group. The group need not be all members of the same class, but it must be led by a teacher or a responsible adult who will supervise throughout the GVC Contest effort.
  • It must have access to the Internet, and the teacher must have the basic skills needed to create and post simple Web pages.
  • Groups must have 15-40 students between the ages of seven and 18.
