Electronic Postcards Project

 

          We want to learn about locations to visit when traveling the world.  In Session I, we will be traveling around the United States mainly, but may have the opportunity to travel other places in the world.  Our project will permit us to travel virtually through electronic postcards sent from participants.  We will be designing our own postcards and sending them to others who would like to participate with us on this virtual travel project.

 

Participants:

Postcards:

        Each participant must send a postcard through email or make a webpage that depicts the postcard so that we may create a link on our electronic scrapbook.  The description should be the written part of your email.
