In July 2000, LTNet officially launched a new collaboration with GlobalEnglish.com, a young Internet company in the US that offers online English language instruction. Through the LTNet website, Brazilian schools will be able to subscribe for free to GlobalEnglish’s online resource for English language teaching and learning. With these new tools and school membership access, teachers, administrators, and students can increase their language skills.

FORGING DURABLE PARTNERSHIPS
The LTNet project is an example of the positive results that are possible when Internet technologies are effectively integrated with conventional, face-to-face, collaborative activities. Also, LTNet’s web site illustrates the benefit of developing an attractive, user-friendly, and interactive web site to provide inexpensive access to quality information and to enable people across the globe to share experiences and learn from one another. Finally, LTNet shows that effective, lasting partnerships built on mutual respect, equity, and a willingness to learn and share can foster educational change and enhance important social and development programs.
