Since they are use keyboards to write with, the young students call each other "keypals" rather than penpals. Unlike many adults who still find it difficult, these students usually compose their messages offline and then upload them. For example, third through sixth grade students in two Maryland elementary schools have been sending and receiving e-mail for over a year now. The kids call the METNET BBS, sponsored by the Maryland State Department of Education and Maryland Instructional Technology. METNET is, of course, linked with The Internet. Computer teacher Patricia A. Weeg is in charge of the e-mail program at the Maryland schools. Mrs. Weeg told me "my kids are doing super things with The Internet. My younger kids in grade two are part of an 'Infant Project' with students in Peru, Iceland, Tasmania, Hawaii and England. A fourth grader of mine has been messaging with a class in London." Another way Maryland students send and receive e-mail is on the MTEBBS (Maryland Technology Education Bulletin Board Service). They have their own conference called KIDTALK. Students can correspond in real time too, by taking part in the KIDLINK Internet Relay Chat (IRC). These IRC chats have included students from many states and countries. Students are learning about other countries by using e-mail. They exchange questions and answers on subjects like customs, holidays, housing, animals, the environment or careers. One fifth grader who is interested in engineering wrote to an electrical engineer in Guatemala to learn more about the field. In addition to improving students' writing and editing skills, the e-mail programs serve as an incentive. Students use e-mail as an extracurricular activity, and have to finish regular class work before they can take part. Many teachers use educational games and quizzes to make sure that time is spent wisely. Prior to 1982's November election, elementary students in Oregon, Michigan and Maryland were polled on their choice for President. Students, parents and educators who want to learn more about keypals can write Mrs. Patricia Weeg, Chapter 1 Computer Teacher, Delmar Elementary School, 700 S. Second St., Delmar, MD 21875. Her e-mail address is: pweeg@source.asset.com. David Batterson welcomes comments.
