 * ===Write the class / school newspaper online===
 * ===Create a dictionary of course specific terms (math concepts, scientific terms, vocabulary from a novel)===
 * ===Start an online discussion about a hot topic in school. Be sure to create class protocols to discourage negative comments. You may want to monitor comments before posting them.===
 * ===Collaborate with a sister school. If your community has a sister city, you might want to establish a partnership with that city. If not, try epals.com. Topics for discussion might include:===


 * 1) ====Habitats: How do the climates / habitats of the two regions differ? How have the flora and fauna adapted to those habitats?====
 * 2) ====Describe your community. Is there an upcoming visit between the sister cities? Start preparing the visitors by answering their questions, introducing the host families, describing points of interest.====
 * 3) ====World history and current events: Is there a difference of points of view between the two groups?====
