CyberConvention
2004 National CyberConvention Project
http://surfaquarium.com/NCC/
Classes from every U.S. state are invited to join us in tracking
candidates, issues and polls, culminating in state-by-state
predictions of who will win our national elections in November 2004!
Calling classes from all 50 U.S. states to participate in the 2004
National CyberConvention!
Each participating class will study the candidates, issues and
polling trends
in their state for the 2004 presidential and congressional races,
using print, broadcast and Web-based media.
Each week your class will be emailed a topic to research; topics
covered will include candidates, issues and media literacy. You will
submit your weekly findings to the National CyberConvention website,
sharing the concerns and likely voting patterns of your home state.
Data will be posted on our site to allow classes to analyze trends
state by state and nationally.
As a culminating event, each class will cast their delegate votes
online a week prior to the national elections predicting the outcome
of the vote on election day!
Project Objectives:
To study the democratic electoral process in action
To use regional media to follow current events
To develop media literacy skills in evaluating information
To analyze polling numbers to determine patterns and predict trends
in voting
To participate in a real-time event both online and off
