Though URLwire is a paid service, if you will send me a more
formal site press release, I will cover it pro-bono.

Hi,
Thanks for your help. Here follows the article from the newsletter.

Steve Feld is a teacher in Computer Graphics in the John F. Kennedy High School in New York City, USA. Three years ago, he started to explore how to use the Internet as a tool for creating multi-disciplinary classroom projects. Together with a class from a high school in Sweden, they started to build the website "Why is Mona Lisa Smiling?"

The site was originally created to present a theory on the identity of the Mona Lisa, the subject of renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci's most famous painting. However, the students continued to add more information, activities and graphics to the site; as the site was selected for the Getty Museum Digital Experience, it became the educational forum Learning about Leonardo. Just like Englishtown.com, this project shows the Internet's capacity both as an interactive educational instrument and a medium reaching across borders.

Vocabulary
Explore - find out about
Multi-disciplinary - using many different skills
Theory - idea
Select - choose
Capacity - power
Interactive - responding to the user's actions
Medium - means of communication
