Ed Tech Crew interview Julie Lindsay and talk about teaching and learning in the 21C including all things Flat Classroom

I love this idea. I want to have a Parent Tech night, but we have parents who may know more than me about tech and media. Great way to get all stake holders to come.

Honor Morman, a Flat Classroom Certified Teacher, shares her thoughts about introducing global collaboration into the curriculum. "Here's what two of my students said about our participation in the Flat Classroom Project, a 12-week project in which we collaborated with 15 other classes in seven different countries to create a vision for the future of education and society based on emerging technologies and the characteristics of the net generation: "[I learned] how important it is to be a member of a global society-communicating globally and working together as a global community is the only way we can solve global issues and improve the lives of all of us. Communicating and collaborating via the web with global partners is how we will do it in future." -Lara "[Participating in this project helped me become] a global leader, able to communicate important global ideas and different perspectives across cultures and borders and share those ideas for the betterment of my community and the world." -Katherine"

Wonderful section of Bernajean Porter's Coaching HEAT wiki. The collection of online tools suggested here are organized into categories of instructional FUNCTIONS - many tools are able to serve in more than one role. While there are many, many more tools not listed here - the goal of this page is to give a framework for thinking about ALL the tools as providing functions in the learning, thinking and communication process.

I am excited to be attending the ECIS IT Conference in London as a Keynote speaker this year. I will also be facilitating the Leadership Workshop, pre-conference event. Hoping to meet lots of new educators wanting to flatten their classroom!
