 
E-mail Only Option
While
it's always a big event for the students and home-schooling families to
receive packages in the mail, there is the expense of mailing
paper My Travel Teddies and the accompanying journals and souvenirs. That's
why an e-mail only option should be considered.
When making contact
with others through the List of Participants, simply request that
exchanges be made through e-mail only.
My Travel Teddies can be
scanned on a scanner, created using a graphics program, or photographed
with a digital camera then sent as e-mail attachments. Students who host the bears
can use a word processor to describe their adventures and paste their
creative writing into an e-mail.
The
recipient can print the attachment and take digital pictures
of it with students and in interesting places, then send the creative writing back to the sender by e-mail and the pictures as attachments. These
digital images can also be easily added to the My Travel Teddy Picture
Gallery blogs by either the senders or the recipients.
Students get to use current technology, expenses are reduced and My Travel Teddies still get to travel the world.
