The Global SchoolNet Foundation initiated the CyberTorch project to help classrooms across the country track the (Olympic) torch during its trek, and record the stories of the heroes who are carrying it. Students in the communities the torch passes through are encouraged to interview local torch bearers, who are often chosen because of previous heroic activities, and share those interviews with other CyberTorch participants. The CyberTorch page will be a focal point for these stories as they develop. It presently contains listings of torch bearers by state. There is a link to the Coca Cola Torch Relay Page, with a map of the Torch Relay from Los Angeles to Atlanta. CyberTorch maintains a mailing list to keep participating schools appraised of project developments, as well as a moderated mailing list that exclusively carries student interviews and relay accounts.
