City Quest
Grades: K-5
Ongoing? Yes
Available in three languages and begun by three elementary teachers from three different countries and continents--USA, Netherlands, and Japan--City Quest offers a tour of historical communities around the world. Using the Internet and other forms of technology, these three classes were able to share with each other about the historical landmarks and buildings in their hometowns. Beginning in the 2000-2001 school year, the three participating teachers have asked other schools around the world to submit reports about the historical significance of their hometowns. All the reports from all participating schools are available for your perusal. The Web site leads you through the submission process if you and your class are interested in having a report about your community featured on the City Quest Web site. There are also many suggestions for incorporating City Quest into social studies, writing, reading, and technology curricula. Once you and your students have taken advantage of all the information offered, use this newfound knowledge to play the online game!

What Are My Roots?
Grades: 2-12
Ongoing? Yes
Here’s something any student would love – a chance to talk about himself! (In the process students gain a better understanding about where they came from and where they would like to go.) This project is part of the “Who am I?” program sponsored by KidLink. Over a period of eight weeks, students look back at their immediate ancestors, their family origins, what life was like in the time of their ancestors, and their contributions and responsibilities to their descendents yet to come. Resources include project goals as they relate to subject areas ranging from Language Arts to Math and Science. Students use email and Internet resources to work in groups (both in class and online) to gather, analyze and present their findings and opinions. The Teacher Module Menu link at the bottom of the home page includes detailed instructions, lesson plans, and tips.
