Celebrating 25 Years of Service to Teachers, Students and the Community in linking students from around the world in a virtual reality context !

LIGHTHOUSES OF THE WORLD Celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the “Computer Pals Across the World” Global Educational Network In Honour of our President Dr Gillian Eriksson Throughout the centuries and around the world, lighthouses have guided sailors and ships safely to their destination. Likewise the CPAW network has guided teachers, students and community members in the use of state-of-the art telecommunications technology for use in the global classroom, for twenty-five years. To celebrate CPAW’s 25 year milestone, we at Queanbeyan High School, in Australia invite you to join the celebration by being part of the “Lighthouses of the World” project. What do you need to do? Please respond to the following tasks by providing: • the name of your school or educational/community institution. • the country in which you live • your email address • the name of your nearest lighthouse or one that you have visited • location of the lighthouse • an original jpeg photo of the lighthouse with name of photographer • the height of the lighthouse • whether it is active or deserted • the date built and brief details of its history • details about the light such as the size and numbers of watts • any other information you think would be of interest How will the information be used? With this information we will construct a website, linked to the CPAW site, which will acknowledge your contribution and be a resource for teachers, students and community members. Thank you for helping us compile this information.
