Students participating in this project will collaborate with each other across the nation to find out about each others' communities, daily activities, culture, and environment. Students will be required to post questions and answers in Edmodo in order to accumulate research for their final project. Edmodo is a social learning tool that is safe for students and easily monitored by teachers. Even parents can see what their students are doing on Edmodo. =====

**Cumulative Projects **
====Students in all cities will focus on the overarching question, "How does where you live affect who you are?" In groups, students will choose to create a Prezi, Google Presentation, or short video for their final project in which they will tell a digital story about a day in the life of one of their cross-country counterparts. Students will follow the CRAP principles of good design if they are producing a Prezi or Google Presentation. Students creating a video will be required to write a storyboard in Google Presentation and will learn how to follow a film script, utilize proper shooting technique, and movie editing according to the American Film Institute's Screen Education Curriculum: AFIScreenEducation.pdf. ====

Soon after students begin their research, groups will begin brainstorming ideas in Bubbl.us for their final project. At the same time, students will be gathering information from each other across the country via Edmodo. Each group will create a digital story with the technology tool of their choice based on their research. Projects will be embedded into the final projects page of this wiki and will be accessible by the world. =====
