The EcoConnections project is designed to develop web-based teaching modules for elementary, middle and high school students with a focus on character education, by linking social responsibility with environmental issues. Through the project, a model for Internet-based curriculum developmenttraining will emerge. All materials created through the Eco-Connections project will be freely-shared with teachers and administrators around the globe, with hope that the world will be a better place for children because of our collaborative efforts.
