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.
