Traditionally, curriculums have been divided into subject areas, each apparently with their own processes and products. However, the learning process which has often been seen as incidental has always been inter-disciplinary.

Process is the most important part of the educational equation. It is what leads to life long learning. It is what leads to meaningful and useful productivity. As McLuhan asserted, "The medium is the message."

SchoolNet Global provides a powerful vehicle to assist schools in enhancing their work within the subject areas or disciplines. It allows schools to apply global information sources to their work and to publish the results to a global audience. But, most of all SchoolNet Global serves to enhance the learning process by providing schools and youngsters around the world with the means to make contact, communicate and work together in a secure safe environment.

The wonderful projects that may result from the use of SchoolNet Global are only part of the result. The contacts the children make, their awareness of the world, their friendships, inspiration and understandings are things that they may keep for life and may lead to a new understanding of global citizenship.

SchoolNet Global Curriculum
The World And Its People As Seen Through The Eyes Of Its Children
Building a global community of learners through shared knowledge and shared experience.

SchoolNet Global's Curriculum is designed to fit directly into the Social Science Curriculums of most nations. It is seen as being a direct part of the every day life of schools and not as a series of add on projects. Moreover, it can readily be used as a vehicle to have children and youth begin to identify, discuss and address the major problems that confront the planet and the human race.

Work within SchoolNet Global easily expands to include all other facets of the curriculum for the world's problems and needs are indeed interdisciplinary.
