Project Description by Jasper Cox
We used our minds well for this project.
In this project, we were researching the effects of social media and technology on people in this modern age. We would research our topic, whether this was medical misinformation, propaganda, or parent safety concerns, and write an essay on what we learned in an encyclopedia format.
We then would convert our essay into HTML code, so that we could present it like a webpage, including functioning links,. images, and sited information. The final product of this project would be a collection of encyclopedia articles about information and its affect on society.
For my article, I wrote about how misinformation is changing society and threatening our democracy. Read it here.
