The purpose of the project is to explore global technology issues and practice core digital literacy skills while using online collaboration tools and application software. This project had students working in small groups to research and collaborate. Students compared and contrasted global communities and their use and availability of technology.
I chose to research the country Romania because is close to my heart, it is the country where I was born. I found out many interesting things, for example that they are the highest number of computer programmers in the world, which I wouldn't have thought. I guess we always learn something new even though we think we know a specific country very well.
In the group, all four of us searched on different countries. The countries were researched are India, Italy, Nigeria and Romania. I learned many interesting things. I was surprised by the number of populations in Italy, I didn't know they have an issue about the population growth.
I learned many new things upon completing this project. For example, now I know how to embed a website. How to embed a word document or a power point presentation. Also, I learned how group work is very beneficial and important, especially when we have to meet deadlines. The other very crucial thing is that someone needs to be responsible to guide and lead the group.
