HWC Day 16 - Defining "Africa"

Objective:  Investigate the ways that individual can interact through digital technology to identify appropriate behavior for the global collaborative project.  Identify countries, cities, and bodies of water in Sub-Saharan Africa.  Reflect on culture and geography of contemporary Africa.

Task:  To start class, I'll play the videos about digital footprints and you'll post to the forum on the Moodle.

After we listen to a rap song to review the countries of Africa, we'll spend some time discussing the geographic and cultural diversity of Africa.  To demonstrate your understanding, you'll post a comment to "Geography & Culture of Africa" on our class blog.

Finally, we'll spend the last portion of class identifying some of the stereotypes and misperceptions that are sometimes associated with Sub-Saharan Africa.
