PCVs and the students they work with (particularly those with AOL Peace
Packs) may be interested in participating in this worthwhile event. Feel
free to forward to posts as appropriate.

International Schools CyberFair, now in its seventh year, is an
award-winning, authentic learning program used by schools around the world.
Students conduct research about their local communities and then publish
their findings on the World Wide Web. Recognition is given to schools for
the best entries in each of eight categories: local leaders, businesses,
community organizations, historical landmarks, environment, music, art, and
local specialties.
This White House-endorsed competition encourages students to become
ambassadors for their own local communities by working collaboratively with
community members and using technology tools to publish a Web site that
displays what they have learned. The annual contest has involved more than
500,000 students from 2,500 schools in 75 countries-the longest running
international cyber event for schools.
As a tribute to the Sept 11th tragedy the theme for CyberFair 2002 will be
"Care and Unite!" Students are asked to use the Web to publish stories about
people or programs in their own local communities that convey a sense of
caring. For example: programs to help the sick or elderly, volunteer
programs, community resource centers, meals-on wheels, beach clean-up
programs, adopt-a-highway programs and other caring programs.
Competition judging also takes place online. Students evaluate the projects
of other schools by using a Web-based evaluation tool designed by Global
SchoolNet. The top 40 entries are reviewed by international judges to
determine the winners. Winners of International Schools CyberFair are
announced each Spring at a event that is global in itself, with hundreds of
schools participating via Internet. To learn more, visit
