Summary This project helped fulfill a desire of mine--for my
students to use the Internet for current information.
The class was an excellent review of Excel and PowerPoint and taught new computer skills.
This will be a doorway to other teachers’ lessons I want to do.
I’m hopeful that students will find my lesson a interesting way to get acquainted with Mexico!
