My project meets this standard by having students using current web 2.0 technology to create a project. My student work sample uses video to answer the project question; "How would the Civil War era be different had technology been available?" Students were told to be as creative as they wanted to be. This project meets the needs of all learners and learning styles by allowing students to work to their best abilities using any technology that they choose. Students are graded based on the rubric provided on this wiki.
