The Virtual Valentine’s Project is designed to teach students geographical awareness and cultural understanding while connecting classrooms all around the world for Valentine’s Day. Through this experience, the goal is to circumnavigate the globe with virtual Valentines greetings and cultural exchanges in order to spread a little happiness to children everywhere. Whether your students are in just starting out in school or are a little older, this project will help them learn something new! [description via http://virtualvalentines.weebly.com/]
