We are looking for individuals to join the International Joint Exchange Competition (IJEC) advisory board committees at local, national and transnational levels in different countries. If you are interested in promoting exchanges, fostering cross-cultural collaboration, and in the learning of different disciplines and skills via the Internet and Information Communication Technologies (ICT), we encourage you to apply.

The International Joint Exchange Competition (IJEC) provides students and individuals from different countries the opportunity to collaborate and work together using the Internet and various online technologies to explore a discipline, and have exchanges of country, cultures, and languages. For example, the Women's Heritage International Joint Exchange Competition (WHIJEC) empowers students to learn about Women's history from their respective countries and learn about their partner's country, culture, and language as they work to produce a joint essay on Women's history.

We strive to be an active advisory board committee steering and promoting IJEC's pedagogical adoption, growth, global presence, knowledge and discipline content expansion, committees and competitions.

We are looking particularly for people with skills and expertise in languages, academia, evaluation and assessment, organizational development, fundraising, public relations and marketing. We are committed to diversity and encourage people from different locations (national and international), professions, socioeconomic backgrounds and genders to apply.

We are seeking members for the following transnational- focused committees: Canada-US, China-US, India-US, Japan- US, Mexico-US, the Netherlands-US and Turkey-US and other countries; the following discipline-based committees: Arts and Music, Business, Environmental, History, Science and Technology, Women's Heritage, Women's Studies, as well as local and state focused committees.

If you know of individuals who may be good candidates for an IJEC Advisory Board Committee, please pass this application along.

The deadline to apply is Friday, May 29, 2009, 9PM EDT. All applications must have a resume and two references. Applications can be requested by emailing ijec@i-e- institute.org.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email Alfred Griffin at [email removed].

Thank you,

IJEC Advisory Board Committee International Joint Exchange Competition (IJEC) [email removed]

Marnie Try "webquest.com" is a great site for webquests. Also try "questgarden" if you want to design your own. I teach 5th grade and my students would do fine with a webquest, provided that I did lots of modeling on the front end of the activity.

Good luck, Marnie
