My name is Amanda Riccio and I am currently a student at Trinity Christian College. This is a project I did for my Technology in Education course that is for a 6th grade physical education class. This project is to teach the students research skills, working together, cooperating, and public speaking and speech skills. It also helps them with reading, writing, and their creativity.
If there are any questions regarding this assignment I can be contacted by email: a.riccio@hotmail.com
