Project Adopt A Country

Project Adopt A Country is a year long 8th Grade Social Studies Project.  All of the instructions and resources are posted online.  The social studies teachers collaborate and create a common curriculum and technology experience for all eighth graders just prior to entering high school.  Students interact with a virtual teacher for support blended with computer instruction in the lab at the school so they learn how to communicate and problem solve online while independently managing their time to complete each project which then results in a cumulative online portfolio!  

Students complete a series of projects focused on an individual country of choice - that  combine information literacy with the National Educational Technology Standards (NETS):  and Universal Design for Learning.
