====Given a budget of 25,000 the students will design a 21st century classroom based on the criteria given in the assignment. Mind-mapping is a requirement that will be used to illustrate their thoughts and reflect the involvement of each member in a collaborative environment. The students will post their comments regarding progress or difficulties encountered to a blog at the end of each day.====

====The instructor will have complete knowledge of the project and any necessary materials needed to complete the project. The solutions to the problems may be unique and it is imperative for group members to collaborate and rely on each other for support. Cennamo, Ross, and Ertmer believe another way to support students' efforts is having an expert being the teacher or experienced peers model how to complete the task.
