Lessons Learned:
While completing this assignment I learned a lot of new things about Australia. I learned about Australia's demographics on a statistical level. I also learned about technology in Australia, not only its culture but how they use it. With this being a group assignment i also go to learn about my partners country. I noticed some big differences between El Salvador and Australia. I got to learn more about the country she chose and we both found similarities and differences which we discussed. this assignment helped us work together to complete a common goal as well as learn more about something that interests us.
