Also in the school year 2001/2002 classes are welcome to use the ideas in the project wording for Children Build a Web about the Vikings. The project wording can be found on this page. Take a look at the stories written by students in 1997, 1999 and 2000 as a result of working with CBW.

Last school year we celebrated Leif Ericson and the 1000 year jubilee of the first European in North America by inviting classes to participate in the project Spirit of Leif. Schools have contacted and asked to use the resources on this page in the future and to get students Viking stories on the page. They are welcome to do that. Read more about the conditions on www.leif1000.net

The project wording contains a catalogue of ideas to how IT can be integrated into the lessons when the Viking Age is the subject.
