Today we embarked upon a mini-research project designed to help students merge many of the skills they’ve learned this year in Tech class. We picked a current event – swine flu – and focused on data collection, looking for specific pieces of information on a number of different types of sites, such as major newspapers and magazines, radio stations and government agencies. We also analyzed an interactive map in order to find out where the virus is striking the hardest. Students will be analyzing their data next week.
