From a Flat Classroom to a Flat World - Flat Classroom Conference
Excellent blog post reflection from Beatrice from Korean International School who attended the Flat Classroom Workshop in Hong Kong recently. Her picture of students flattening the world is very creative. Her ideas include: "To me, Flat Classroom meant more than a workshop to learn about technology. It was a life-changing experience to connect, communicate, and cooperate with people from various cultures. I interacted with people I've never met before, and even spoke in front of a large audience; if you know how shy I am, you will understand how meaningful it was to me.
I think that the ultimate goal of Flat Classroom wasn't to learn about technology, or to bridge the digital divide (although those were very, VERY important objectives!)– It was to Flatten the World."
Great work Beatrice!
why flat classroom? - Flat Classroom Conference
EXCELLENT blog post from Sara, teacher from Korea who brought 4 students to the workshop this weekend.
Getting my four students to Hong Kong was a blur; the process of application seems like it was years ago; but these last 48 hours made it all worth while. I feel like it's one of those "why I teach" moments: I gaze across the room and see my four little angels engaged in a real conversation on the concept of the Digital Divide (aka the haves and the have-nots, the digitally informed and tuned in and the not, etc.) and they are THINKING. They are MOTIVATED. They are OWNING THEIR LEARNING. You know, I wonder when I'll move past using capital letters to emphasize my points and just let the points emphasize themselves...but I digress. After the usual flailing, "What-do-we-do-Ms.P-What-do-they-want?" conversations to which I responded "What do you think?", the inspiration struck and they ran. They planned, they researched, they reflected, they pitched their ideas, they skewed their ideas, they created a digital artifact that reflected their ideas, they presented their ideas, and above all, they BELIEVED in their ideas. It wasn't what we told them was right, it wasn't what the rubric said was right, it wasn't what would get them into Harvard, it was just a real-life solution to a real-life problem and the kids believe that they have the real-life answer. That, my friends, is authentic learning.
