1) Communication via Goodbye 20th Century - Hello 21st Century Web Pages
We exchange mainly using pictures, photos and sound so students from countries where English is not the mother tongue can participate in Goodbye 20th Century - Hello 21st Century. Written text can be used, but we encourage participants to limit text, or where possible provide translation in another language. Some projects will require the use of written language more than others and we understand this.
2) "Online Page Creator" System
This system enables participants to easily add a new page to "Goodbye 20th Century - Hello 21st Century" web pages. This system has two functions --- one is a post function to send picture, sound and video files and the other is a template function to easily add a new page.
Anyone may participate in Goodbye 20th Century - Hello 21st Century Projects. Individuals, families, schools and organisations. Participants choose which project/s they wish to contribute to - there is no obligation to take part in all projects. We understand people will contribute only when they have the time and inclination to do so. For this reason project timeframes are flexible.
We will protect participant's privacy. It is the decision of contributors whether to include an e-mail address on their own pages. We are happy for contributors to use pseudonyms or a first name only on the pages they create.
In joining, participants give Project Leaders the right to use images, sound files, videos and text for the Goodbye 20th Century - Hello 21st Century web site. Information contributed should be original, with the onus on participants to specify any sources or quoted materials.
