Without question, this generation truly is the media generation, devoting more than a quarter of each day to media. As media devices become increasingly portable, and as they spread even further through young people’s environments— from their schools to their homes —media messages will have a wall-to-wall presence in an already media-saturated world.

Student participation in local activities is easiest for our teachers or students in need. We want to experience expanding our knowledge and reach globally in a collaborative way!
6. How did your activities and research for this CyberFair Project support standards, required coursework and curriculum standards?
We practiced classroom management curriculum guidelines using primary rules to get started. We supported new educational standards because we know that our students are engaged by real-world learning, creative thinking, collaboration, and critical thinking skills.
