Input text, set the desired speed, and Zap presents the text rapidly in tiny chunks (default is 1 word as a time). Amazingly effective method to increase reading speed.
Excellent, informative overview of the Flat Classroom Project and how it has developed since 2006. Very creative descriptions provided by students involved in the project. Once you watch the video you're going to want to try this project with your students! Very motivating!
The opening video played at the inaugural Flat Classroom Conference hosted at Qatar Academy, Doha Qatar in January 2009. It is a review of the beginning and development of flat classroom projects from 2006-2009. The Flat Classroom Project was created by Julie Lindsay and Vicki Davis based on the book by Thomas Friedman "The World is Flat." A fantastic "best practice" example of how Web 2.0 tools can support global collaboration and learning.
