Summary
Students have many questions about businesses. How did it get started, how much is it worth? In this project students take a deeper look at a business they have an interest in to answer those and other questions. Their knowledge is presented in a Facebook-type environment where they take on the “persona” of the business to create posts and comments as well as present some of the basic facts about their business. Research information will include stock symbol, price, product or service sold, a link to the main company web site, philanthropy, employment, and other interesting facts.
