St. George's day is April 23 where people around the world celebrate English heritage and patriotism. For those of you who are integrating holidays from around the world as part of your global competency, this is a great lesson to study about Britain. This is a collection of lesson plans on the topic.
Some more lesson plans about africa including some interesting historical units. I also love the one titled "Africa, It's not a country" (there are even many adults that treat Africa like a country not a continent.)
Great reflection blog post from Sunny, a teacher in Australia who ventured to the Flat Classroom Conference in Japan!
Full of ideas I've headed home - collected my thoughts and hope to put some of the plans we made as teams into action - because flattening our world - connected across the globe to share experience, help each other and learn together is what education should be about.
Final presentations and more about the conference can be accessed at http://conference2013.flatclassroomproject.org/home
