This unit was implement to encourage global education.  It combines the study of geography and 21st century learning skills. Students are asked to determine how geography affects culture.  Students participate in an authentic learning experience as they are able to exchange email using the ePals platform with students from the countries they are studying. This unit addresses the importance of appropriate online etiquette and supports a positive digital identity. The unit was executed in collaboration with my colleague, Sarah Stolfi.  Students enjoyed researching and learning about their countries, and sharing their learning with their ePals.
