Imagine a high school or college student taking a class on twenty-first century globalizing trends. Imagine that student turning on a computer to carry on class discussions with students on the other side of the world. The World Classroom Project aims to establish a system by which secondary students in the U.S. and other countries interact in class together. Using videoconference and Web-based communication technology, students and teachers on opposite sides of the world will be able to come together and discuss the contemporary social and cultural issues their countries face.
