Through a group multi-media presentation and an individual essay, students will show how gas prices vary from state to state and how the prices ultimately make a difference in how people spend their money. Students will use ePals to find another class in another part of the country or world with whom to communicate about their findings. Each team of students will publish a report of its findings using Wix.com, edu.Glogster.com, or another appropriate online tool. Students will create a PLN (personal learning network) about this topic in Edmodo within the local class and if possible accommodating the remote class.
