Article written in India newspaper about the Flat Classroom and Flat Classroom conference held in Mumbai. I loved this quote: "To become what the project aspires won't actualise without delivering on imperatives of access and inclusion. Consequently, the idea 'How can I include those who are not like me' underlined most discussions at the conference. There, says Davis, Web2.0, far from being a cultural flattener, is "a culture enhancing tool. It lets students who don't travel, travel virtually, and makes them see where cultural disconnects are happening." For a first-hand experience of these gaps, participants visited Akanksha and Aseema schools that reach out to the underprivileged. One Australian participant came back and told her remote virtual classmates: "Today I stepped through the gaps between the rich and the poor, from Aseema to ASB.""

Write up on some flat classroom topics and what we're doing in my class this year.
