We would love to have you. To find out more about
the Postcard Exchange, read on.
I teach 5th grade and find that a postcard exchange ties
in well as a geography review, as well as writing--the
format of a postcard.
If you choose to join, your job will be to send each
participant a postcard.
Usually I have my class create one postcard and then
photocopy and glue it on individual postcards. In the
letter we include information about our state and our
school.
Then when we receive the various cards from other states
we display them on a bulletin board. I put a U.S. map on
the wall and everytime I receive a card we put a pin in
that city/state and attach the postcard.
My students love receiving the postcards. They have an
opportunity to learn little things about states and
schools.
At the end of the summer I will be e-mailing all of the
participants a list of addresses that will be involved in
the exchange.
Let me know if you have any other questions or if you are
interested so I can take your state off of our list.

Due to recent developments, the Baldwin Wallace College
Research Team has decided to expand our research study.
The original concept of the study was to find answers as
to why secondary educators stay in the teaching field for
more than 20 years. However, due to the overwhelming
response from participants and observers of the study, a
new more significant development has revealed itself. Our
research team is now progressively moving towards the
development of a significant grounded theory for a
qualitative-quantitative study. More details on this new
development will be shared in the upcoming weeks on our
website.
Our research team is still accepting surveys from
Secondary Teachers with more than 20 + years of
experience. The data collected thus far, and in the future
will be a factor in the overall study. The deadline for
the completion of our online survey is November 4, 2004. I
urge any secondary teacher with 20 + yrs of experience to
take the survey. The survey consists of ten questions and
no personal data has to be given. The data from the survey
is directly sent to the researchers. The survey can be
taken in eight different languages included English,
French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, German, Japanese,
and Chinese.
Come join us. Be a part of educational research history.
Let your voice be heard along with the many teachers from
around the world who have participated. Thank You.
