What is Flat Classroom
This is the primary website for our Flat classroom projects. It has information on all past projects, current projects, and information on joining projects as well as application forms.
This page explains the topic overview of how Flat Classroom works as we merge our classrooms to co-create authentic research and to co-create videos.
Award winning videos from the Flat Classroom project. You can also go to the navigation bar on the left and click on individual projects to see a full list of winners.
The first Flat Classroom Project. One class in Dhaka, Bangladesh with Julie Lindsay as the leader
The second Flat Classroom project 2007 with 7 classrooms.
This project won the edublog award for best wiki of 2008 with fifteen classrooms.
This helps you see the transformation as we grew the project a little bit each time.
Introduction
You can see my classroom here when Edutopia (Georgia Lucas Foundation) filmed a documentary on my classroom.
Basic Backchannel chat room netiquette. I use this generic slideshow to share and teach about backchannel.
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.
Meet Steve
This section tells the story of Steve, (a student on Flat Classroom 2008 project) and how his participation in the project and ultimately his fundraising to go to Doha, Qatar for the first Flat Classroom conference changed his life. This is what happens with this method.
Video that students from Spring Woods High school in Houston, Texas made to raise money to go to Doha, Qatar.
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."
Love how Steve shares about the friends he has made in Qatar! Scroll down to comments and click 3:12 to get directly there.
I love this reflection from the flat classroom conference. This is my favorite movie that I like to share.
Favorite Flat Classroom Videos
Top Videos from a variety of Flat Classroom projects.
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!
This is the help wiki for all of our flat classroom projects (including Digiteen, Flat Classroom, and NetGenEd) and how we do the things we do.
Excellent video samples from Flat Classroom 2008
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!
As we bring administration appreciation week to a close. I would like to recognize our phenomenal instructional lea… https://t.co/BdgSYG89O9
