Re: Partner schools

Thanks Ross!

Allan, remember I had mentioned to u that one of the things I hope to
accomplish with my school's website was to connect the students to
other students around the world..maybe something similar to what
this world link org is accomplishing. But they are really on a wide scale
not sure how long it will take for Trinidad to connect with them... 

Ross it seems like in order to join in there has to be some negotiations
with MoE and private orgs etc.at least that is what I gathered from here
http://www.world-links.org/english/html/overview.html
but I could be wrong .. will browse some more later on. 

Now there is also this link 
http://www.schoolnet.ca/home/e/whatis.asp
on the world link site.

Does anyone know if our Government has even considered
anything like this? What plans do they have?


Ameena
