Doors to Diplomacy & International CyberFair

Visit and contribute

SEEKING VOLUNTEER REVIEWERS for Doors to Diplomacy & International CyberFair

Would you like to:

  • have a positive impact on thousands of students worldwide?
  • make an important contribution to an international collaborative competition?
  • see amazing student-produced projects from around the globe?

Well, you can do all of the above by becoming an VOLUNTEER PROJECT REVIEWER.

Students (and their teachers) work tirelessly for many months on their CyberFair/Doors to Diplomacy projects. But their success depends on getting honest and reliable feedback from responsible volunteer reviewers.

Therefore, we invite adult members of the EDUCATION Community to review this year's project entries. Your reviews will be part of the official judging process.

IMPORTANT!!
You must be able to devote a few hours from April 1-April 16 to review 4-6 web projects. Each project will take approximately 30-45 minutes to review.

Because your review is an important part of the students' learning process, they will be able to view your comments. We encourage students to contact their reviewers to ask questions and discuss their project AFTER the winners are announced.

Teachers report that this is a valuable aspect of this community review process.

If you would like to be an Independent Reviewer (and you are not already a participant), please sign up now to become a reviewer for ONE or BOTH of these competitions:

International Schools CyberFair at: http://www.globalschoolnet.org/gsncf/reviewer.cfm or Doors to Diplomacy at: http://www.globalschoolnet.org/gsndoors/reviewer.cfm

We look forward to hearing from you! If you have any questions, please write to our help desk at: cyberfair2008@globalschoolnet.org
