Local History

In the Local History Project students reseach the history of their own town or area and post their findings in an iEARN on-line conference (newsgroup). Students practice research skills (interviews, letters, diaries and books) and gain an understanding of the significance of local history to their present lives. Cross-cultural comparisons are made from the international postings. A publication & WWW pages will be produced.

Ages:  9 to 15

Languages:  Work may be submitted in any language.

Dates:   February 15th, 1999-December 1st, 2000.
