CAP Center Contests And Challenges
The Global Virtual Classroom (GVC) project is a collection of free, on-line educational activities and resources. It aims to complement the efforts of governments and education departments around the world to integrate technology into their classrooms and curricula and to link their schools to the information superhighway.
The GVC vision is to empower, enable and connect students around the world using Internet technology. It aims to provide students the opportunity to develop three skills that are essential in the 21st century:
- Cross-Cultural Communication
- Collaboration
- Computer Skills
The Open Door Foundation What it is all about. We are the board, the staff, the donors, and the many participants in this tremendous effort.
