This semester I am taking a course on children in international development. It has been an amazing overview of some of the particular development issues that hit children – child labor, trafficking, education in crisis, early marriage, HIV/AIDS to name a few.
The final project for the course is a case study and we were partnered up with others with similar interests. My partner and I decided to focus on interventions that are in place for young disabled Iraqi refugees in Jordan.
Not only do we have to turn in a paper, we also had to present our research to the class. So, rather than bore everyone with another power point, we decided to create a website.
But not only does this give us a different way to present, it also create a ‘living document’ so to speak. It makes the information available to others, provides resources, and gives us a way to keep our work from hiding on a shelf somewhere. Because, really, what good is it going to do there?
So check it out! We incorporated videos, photos and all kinds of links! And we’ll be adding our final report once it is finished (in Dec).
Feedback is welcome!!
