    Collecting
    I enjoyed your exploration page and the examples contained there. Perhaps you can diversify the group represented by including collections of groups other than those in galleries.
    I'm not sure how the find card activity is related to the project-is it intended to be?
    I liked that you included suggestions for different learners-perhaps you could expand that area. In what ways do students learn the purpose of archiving?

    Around the world in 80 Minutes
    I was not able to watch any intro. I would suggest removing the Thursday and Friday tabs if they are not to have content. The links to the "Humans of' sites do not work, and while the sites are interesting, they may not provide a well rounded representation of the population living there. Google's street art site is fun, but perhaps would be efficient to also provide links or even an image search on popular street art. 'Blog' is functioning more like an intro. I would move the 'about' and 'contact' tabs toward the end of your Nav.

    Self Exploration
    Whoa-I see your content has changed considerably since the first couple of viewings and now a lot of my points are no longer valid! I enjoyed the diverse population represented in your imagery and examples-for a project involving stereotypes, this is obviously very important. Good intro activity and nice example video-the fact that it was made by a 15-year-old will help younger students relate.

    Memory
    I like the diversity of your memory definitions on your home page. Perhaps you could relate them to different individuals' experiences and provide examples for your students on what they can do for the project, eliminating the need for the long intro. Or perhaps you can discuss what memory can mean in specific cultures-Day of the Dead in Mexico, for example. From a functionality standpoint, I would suggest you reorder your Navigation with 'Intro' at the beginning, 'About The Creator' 'Contact Me!' toward the end. I like the diverse population represented in the video examples. The recorded conversation is such a large part of this project and rightfully so, but the image creation aspect feels like an afterthought.

    Water
    It is unclear how you intend the frames of your prezi to organize your content. If there was an explanatory video to be viewed, it did not work for me, though I opened your prezi in several browsers. I enjoyed your teaching resource link to tips on good poster design. Perhaps it would be useful to have some examples of functional mind maps using Mindjet, Coggle, etc. Your factoids regarding those dealing with unclean water sources are powerful. Perhaps you can elaborate on a few specific populations that are effected by this problem.
