What's on YouTube?
2009
Our website is based on the internet site YouTube.com. YouTube is beneficial in certain ways and useless in others. Our team explored the negative and positive effects that this website has on children. We also sought the purpose for teenagers to visit this site.

Team Collaboration
Our team did a great amount of work while constructing our informational website. We started our research in the summer of 2008 and we found that since English is our second language, it was a little more difficult for us to write the text for our site. We, as a team, helped each other with our weaknesses and did our best. Some of us have different skills for example Ashraf's strength was designing the website. Isi's strength was analyzing data and proofing essays. Kaisy strength was collecting information from different sources.
Team Diversity
We have a very diverse team. We consist of two different cultures Keisy and Isi are both from the Dominican Republic. They are both Christians. Ashraf was born in Bangladesh and he and his family practice Islam. We all gather at William H. Maxwell CTE High School as a team working together as one team to make this web site and entering this competition. Our team members stand on the same level of socio-economics and although we are diverse in culture - we are all teenagers who visit YouTube.
