A summit is a meeting held in the online Blackboard classroom. These are recorded and often available for people from the public to attend. After the summit, the recording is archived and shared for those who wish to learn about the project later.
As a culmination to the project, classrooms are invited to schedule virtual presentations within Blackboard. These sessions typically run for about 45 - 50 minutes (per class). They provide an opportunity for students to talk about their work during the project, based on their team and topic. They also provide a virtual learning experience and real-time interaction with an international audience on a professional level. In other words, they flatten the walls of the classroom by inviting the world in and providing a platform for students to present and share their knowledge and to learn valuable digital citizenship lessons.
Each student shares for 60 - 90 seconds about their topic and the most important thing that they learned on the project in Blackboard while their student summit photograph is showing on the screen. The summit is recorded and made available via the project wiki.

We will have just the Teacher Station logged into the Blackboard Room, so you don't need to pay attention to the info about logging in.
