Students collect their data - using standardised procedures - then enter it over the Internet using simple on-line forms.  Using the students' data, GLOBE provides free images, maps and graphs on the state of the planet.  All raw data can also be downloaded to compare and contrast local and global environments. 

GLOBE schools can also communicate with each other around the world using the in-built 'GLOBE Mail' encouraging international links and joint projects.

GLOBE isn't prescriptive or time-consuming - as a GLOBE teacher you can select any part of the programme, and take as much or as little time as you want, depending on your teaching needs.
