Abstract
This paper describes a communication project carried out between fourth grade pupils at Kibbutz Ma’agan Michael and Ayalon School in Tel Aviv. Pupils communicated with each other, once a week, via computer on subjects related to their social and personal worlds. Topics included presenting themselves, describing hobbies and collections, composing serial stories, dealing with personal and general conflicts, and exposing to each other different cultural elements, ceremonies and festivals on kibbutz and in the city.
