**Where in North Carolina am I? **
 ===** This is a project for 4th grade students in North Carolina. Our goal is to have a class or two from each county (all 100 of them) to work collaboratively to create pages on the wiki that highlight the history and resources of each county. Our Essential question, "Why live here?". Of course, the challenge will be for the rest of us to read each page, conduct research, and identify the county and where in North Carolina it is located. **===
