"The partners of this proposal are committed to serving all populations in the state and all materials will be available free of charge. This fits squarely with Michigan State University's long-term commitment to providing the educational community high speed access to electronic resources on its networks," Kornbluh said.

Extractions: A. The spirit of exploration is inherent in every person. The desire to discover new territories has been a driving force in mankind's history and development. Telecommunications brings new frontiers into the classroom, and gives students an opportunity to pioneer ideas and new ways of communications with people around the world. This year my K-6 students are studying the concept of pioneering in a cross-curriculum thematic unit that incorporates history, science, literature, writing, telecommunications, and personal awareness. They are learning to view themselves as pioneers in learning to utilize telecommunications. As part of our exploration, we are participating in a writing project with classrooms or individuals who are pioneers in their fields. An introductory activity to introduce concepts and build a knowledge base is needed. I planned an initial lesson using a story and discussion for this. Further development is done over a period of several weeks. I wove these objectives into subject matter and needs that I planned to cover in each groups time period. The time varies from as little as 10 minutes to an entire hour. Literature and exploration that support the pioneering concept are selected. Viewing CD's, videos, accessing information on the Internet, and other activities can also facilitate this. The time for the actual writing project is approximately one to two weeks. In addition, about a month is needed to find keypals (or classes) to participate with. Responses from keypals takes about a week. Time is allocated at least twice a week to share stories, discuss results, and collaborate on follow-up activities.
