Overall, I like the organization of the work and how they weave information from different sources together so well.
What are the instructional objectives
Learn the content of the “World is Flat”, learn how to collaborate with students of different backgrounds, learn how to write coherently and following technical standards, learn how to use technology to disburse information for the public.
How technologies are used by students
Technologies are being used by the student as a collaborating tool; they use technology to develop an online community. They use technology to share their ideas with one another, and disseminate those ideas to the public as well. They use technology in order to help them visualize the information, which help students who are either visual or tactile learners.
Put yourself in the students place, and assess what they may learn from the learning experience
I can see that they would learn how to organize ideas (with the help of their peers) into coherent, easily understood information. At the same time, they will learn how to collaborate with learners of different background in developing presentations of their work. They learn how to use gadgets/technology in their presentatation and they learn how to present their work to their fellow students.
There seems to be a slight emphasis of developing creative skills through the usage of art work. They also learn how to develop the ability to express themselves through digital story telling.
List technologies they are using in order to create their digital stories, write research on background, news, impact on education, etc in their wiki site.
YouTube, video cameras, internet, Microsoft Suite, Adobe PDF

It's interesting how High School students are learning different ways in use technologies. They are lucky they can use these tools to collaborate their projects.
