My Hometown Project

NOTE FROM TED: TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: http://storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/tedx_content_guidelines.pdf Faced with the challenge of empty classrooms, borders closed to tourists, and online learning; learning futurist Eric Hawkinson conceived the my hometown project that enables students anywhere in the world to create online virtual tours to their hometowns, giving them valuable skills, and enabling new human connections.
