Island Inquiries

In my computer class, we had to partner up and research countries.  I chose Indonesia and my partner chose Jamaica.  We had to find information on our country and then come together so we could compare and contrast the two.

I learned that Indonesia has over 278 MILLION people and it is an archipelago, or, a group of islands.  I learned that though Jamaica has a lower population, it has a higher percentage of internet users than Indonesia, 82% vs 77%.

This was my first project where I did a 100% VIRTUAL collaboration!  It was interesting, but we communicated using Microsoft teams, so neither of us ever missed a message.  That was definitely a life saver!  We made sure to share our working files with each other, and we stayed open to each other working on our collaborated PowerPoint.  

Looking back at this assignment, I learned that it is never too early to start!  If I don't think communication was important before, I KNOW it is critical after this.  Overall it was a fun assignment, and I learned so much about Indonesia, as well as Jamaica.  Take a look at our Indonesia & Jamaica Presentation.pptx and see what new information you can learn.  Hope you enjoy!
