Through the use of IP or ISDN, members of the GREATNet may connect to virtually anywhere in the world! A classroom may link with numerous interactive "Electronic Field Trips" from across the nation. NASA Glenn Research Center in Texas, the Cleveland Metro Park Zoo, the Cumberland Science Museum, the Health Museum of Cleveland, the Indianalpolis Museum of Art, and the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles are just a few of the many possible locations trips available.
Collaboration between school districts is also a very popular use of this technology. Linking to classrooms in the neighboring community or in England without leaving your building! Foreign language classes can "practice" their conversation skills with other classes or with students that are learning English as a second language. The possibilities are endless!
