I love this reflection from the flat classroom conference. This is my favorite movie that I like to share.

This is what happens when students connect online. They learn to trust people.

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.

When the students got together at the conference and came up with this saying. Learning not to stereotype and how to connect to solve our world's problems. This is what we are doing!

A website that many teachers are using to match up with other classrooms and skype and videoconference between them. Several teachers in Maine are doing this that I know of including Cherrie MacInnes. Great place to go!

"As cell phones become more ubiquitous, it's becoming increasingly easy to use them for positive action. We've been talking about that quite a bit lately here on Planet Green, and one of the organizations whose name keeps popping up is Mobile Active. They're a great group, and deserve a highlight. Mobile Active, as they succinctly state, is "a global network of people using mobile technology for social impact." The group recognizes that there are billions of phones across the world being used by people in even the most unlikely of places. More are entering the consumer stream on a daily basis. Therefore, a cell phone is the perfect tool with which to engage people for activism. The group works to help organizations understand how they can use mobile phones to get people involved in social change or improve their organization, reduce the costs of getting mobile phones into the hands of people who need them, speed up the adoption of mobile phones as a tool among non-profits, and facilitate the implementation of mobile phone projects and campaigns. Mobile Active takes part in issues ranging from health to environment to disaster relief. You can search through all the many projects they're involved in with their mDirectory. As you look through, there's no doubt you'll be inspired and think about your cell phone in a whole new way - as a tool for changing the world. Check out the Good Call feature here on Planet Green for great information about cell phones and activism.
