  Using a wiki the students will collaborate to gather research to write a report and create a digital story that compares and contrasts the depression of the 1930's and the current recession. Then the students will use GoogleDocs to create their own personal financial plan.
  
  The home page for the lesson is: http://dana.ucc.nau.edu/~vls47/etc545/index.html
  
  I set the wiki to public so you don't need a password to view the wiki.

  I really liked how you had more than one rubrics for the students. I also enjoyed the Powerpoint presentation and the video link you had. I would've linked to see a more grabbing home page, but I am a primary teacher so that might be the reason. Nice job.
