K-12 Student Exchange Program via Internet e-mail

What? The Tri-Cities Free-Net(R) is a Community Computing Network located in southeast Washington State, USA. We are an affiliate member of the National Public Telecomputing Network (NPTN). The TCFN is located in Southeast Washington State, USA.

The TCFN is sponsoring a classroom-to-classroom e-mail exchange between public and private schools, grades K-12, here in the Tri-Cities area with schools around the world. Exchanges will be posted on the TCFN to share the student's experiences with the general public.

Who? Teachers, educators, parents and others are asked to facilitate e-mail exchanges between groups of students. The groups should be in similar ages groups (for instance, ages 10 - 12) and the e-mail sent between two or more facilitators.

Why? To promote communications between children and young adults of the world. World peace starts with understanding and appreciation of other cultures. This program facilitates inter-cultural exchange through communications. The communications media will be the Internet and World-Wide-Web (WWW).
