Internet Honors for Students

• Create standards for giving out awards for internet participation
• Monitor students' progress and decide when each individual deserves an award
• Distribute awards

So, we're hoping to leave the majority of this work to individual schools and teachers, who are in a better position to do so anyway since they know their own students. What we would like to do is to begin suggesting an outline for appropriate stages at which students might earn a new award. These would vary quite a bit with age. Students at each level (elementary, middle, and high school maybe) would be able to work their way up a ladder that looked something like Internet User -> Advanced User -> Expert -> Webmaster.

What we, at the Geometry Forum, could do is

• post the outlines described above
• be here for consultation, and act as a token governing body
• adapt our triangle logo into a series of certificates that teachers/schools could sign and give to students.

Please help us by sending suggestions aboout what a student of a certain age should have to do before being recognized for Internet Honors. Mail to
