Looking back, this is the blog post for me that changed it all - Thursday, October 12, 2006, I reflected on my students writing about Thomas Friedman's book with some great responses -- but Julie Lindsay responded with an idea to join our classrooms together to study these trends and thus, Flat Classroom was born.

The progression to help students meet face to face. Steve Says:

"The Project alone is already unique and very amazing considering the fact that we are actually working together with students around the world with the help of technology. So what better way to finish the project off by actually working with the people we have been working with online."

I love this video that George Haines and the students made about the experience of having students from around the world come together at the Flat Classroom conference. This is what they said about the conference - a phrase that the students coined and carried through the conference. Boy, what a great experience.

For the NetGenEd project, students at Suffern Middle school created a video to challenge and deliver the keynote for the project. It is amazing the script that these students wrote for the project!

Was thinking tonight how we should be succinctly sharing our stories of global collaboration - if you have one about how a classroom is collaborating, just twitter it, the hyperlink, the locations, and include #flated in the hyperlink and we'll continue to get great lists! I'm learning so much from you and am now following and retweeting them, especially those with links!

This is vicarious learning in action. Joy says,

"My views of the Middle East have changed somewhat. I didn't go so I didn't get to interact with the people from the Middle East, but the people who did go were very complimentary. I think Americans make the common misperception that all Middle Easterners are terrorists, but that is wrong. This has opened our eyes to their culture."

Vicarious learning (learning by watching another go) is made even more possible with the links through educational networks like ning and services like ustream.

This video gives an overview of the topics. Westwood students watch this to introduce the project and I also review the history of computing since 1990 as part of this discussion to meet my history of computing curricular objectives.
