Yesterday I received the great news that the two students whose products I had entered into the Region VIII Student Technology Contest had won 1st and 2nd places in the 3-5 Multimedia category. The students had done PowerPoint presentations over Togo, West Africa and Albania. The students were assigned to find a country that they knew nothing about, research their chosen countries through the internet (citing their sources), and then put the information into a PowerPoint following the contest criteria. They did an awesome job, and now we are making improvements in order to enter them in the state TCEA contest. It's awesome to think that these students were able to learn about places and people that they probably would never have been exposed to without technology, and to be able to present it in a way that was engaging and informative.
