In the previous lesson you learned of some places you can go to find keypals for your classes. In this lesson you will look at some of the resources for finding specific telecollaborative projects designed by others, as well as places you can call for involvement in a project you or your class has designed. (You will find that there is some overlap with the previous lesson.)
Classroom Connect
One of the best places for finding out about projects or calling for involvement in your own is Classroom Connect's teacher mailing list. You can subscribe to this list at:
- Classroom Connect Mailing List
For more specific information about the list, visit the following site:

The following are some examples of invitations for participation that occurred on the list in June/July 1998:

- Sail Around the World this Fall!

Global SchoolNet
Global SchoolNet has an Internet Projects Registry that includes links to old and new telecollaborative projects. The New Registry includes a search feature allowing you to search for a specific kind of project.
