With a class of 7, I would like to have 3 groups- 1 group of 3 and 2 groups of 2 for the group project section of our course. With your partner/group, research an emerging topic dealing with the Internet. Relate your findings to the educational world. Each group will be expected to have a presentation of around 15 minutes. Powerpoint is not required, but can be very useful. Video found on the Internet helping to explain your topic as part of your presentation is acceptable.
