Student created wiki. Thomas Cooper is the teacher behind this project. He teachers at the Walker School in Marietta, GA.
Many people believe that child labor and abuse is something of the past, but there could not be more of a false statement. Around the world children are being marginalized, and abused, and forced into labor. Children in Africa are being forced to join the military and kill children and adults alike. Other children are living on the streets because their parents' lives were taken by the AIDS virus. And due to India's class system, young children will live in poverty with no possible way of hope in the future. Children are even forced into prostitution and labor. Childhood deformities and disabilities cause affected children to live in isolation and cause pain and suffering for both them and their families.
Be sure to check out the teacher resources in the table of contents.

The result is a (hopefully) informative overlay that works with both Google Earth and Google Maps to tell visual stories.
