1) The document advertises the Global Virtual Classroom (GVC), which allows students to collaborate virtually with international partners. 2) Teachers must register their teams for a web design contest by September 30th, with the opportunity to win prize money for top entries. 3) The GVC also has a Clubhouse program that is accepting applications year-round and allows students to collaborate on projects related to peace, great thinkers, and world regions.

Travel the World With GVC Where will your classroom collaborate this year? This email comes to you as a reminder that our web design contest entry deadline is fast approaching. The Contest is broadly divided into 4 phases: application and team registration, getting acquainted, website planning, web authoring and review. Teachers must register before September 30, 2011. We all know how quickly time 'vanishes' at the beginning of the school year, so don't delay; register today! http://www.virtualclassroom.org/application.html Also view and share with your colleagues the winners from previous years! Learn about other cultures, travel virtually anywhere, anytime. Students become more independent thinkers, effective collaborators, eager learners! What more could school offer? Middle School students have said: "It's the hardest thing I've ever done, the most fun I've ever had, and the most I've ever learned in a class!" After applying, teachers receive an invitation to join our Teachers Lounge Wiki and will be able to choose one partner starting Sept. 15th, then be matched with a third partner and registered as a team by October 1-3, 2011. Teachers who create winning web sites will receive $1,000 and an award plaque, second place winners will receive $500 and an award plaque, and third place winners will receive $250 and an award plaque. All students will receive a certificate of participation. Merit award winners will receive software from Tech4Learning.
We would also like to introduce our new Project Director for the Global Virtual Classroom Clubhouse. Marsha Goren, retired teacher of 31 years, and award winning teacher for her work with Global Dreamers. Ronda Zelenzy-Green will continue her outreach efforts in all parts of the world and help with one on one Clubhouse partnerships. Applications for the GVC Clubhouse are accepted year round and can be accessed at: http://www.virtualclassroom.org/applicationclub.html Current Clubhouse projects are: Peace, Great Thinkers, and Regions. You'll find these on our Clubhouse Wiki, and can add to them any time during the year.
