Flat Classroom Project

An inconvenient youth is working to change the view of the environment in the US. A new way of activism in the world.

Some students have started this to promote environmentally sound actions. This is run by students and I saw a little profanity on the home page.

Businesses see that the way to influence education is to provide meaningful, cool video for school children. This project with students shows how education and teaching can change in a new way. Kids and teachers are connecting directly to companies and one another in cool projects like this.

Travelocity has worked to create a course on carbon offsets and wants help naming their eco-bunnies. This looks to be something fascinating for elementary teachers. Would love to hear what you think?

School competitions now center around online websites, they used to just be on paper! What a difference to get to see what kids suggest, it means that their influence is felt far beyond the classroom and can even influence the scientists who view their work.

Contest to encourage student to create a vision of the future of technology. This site shows the inventions and the awards. This is a neat competition and you might want to plug in your math and science program, particularly the gifted program. Competitions help your top students reach higher and are a very important part of gifted programs (and others too!)

Award winning wiki page for the first project about virtual communications. Excellent videos and wiki. Nearly perfect.

Virtual communications give us a way to communicate with people around the world. This wiki won the award for best wiki, and also included award winning videos. The team mates were mentioned by Tom Friedman in his book, The World is Flat.

This award winning wiki from the first flat classroom project does an excellent job of explaning it, although the language is a little bit too first person, not really appropriate for a wiki.

Mobile and ubiquitous computing means that we can compute anywhere any time. This award winning wiki from the first flat classroom project does an excellent job of explaning it, although the language is a little bit too first person, not really appropriate for a wiki.

Good project, but no table of contents and not enough hyperlinks. Looks like some plaigarism, however, reading this information will give you some background on work flow software and what it is.

The site is now expanding globally but Rodwell, 46, bristles at the suggestion that his creation is just another social network. He says that, while social networks are designed to help us keep in touch with our existing friends, Moko is all about making new connections.

Nearly two months ago, we introduced the Google Elections Video Search gadget on iGoogle, a tool that transcribes and indexes the spoken content on YouTube's Politicians channels. It didn't take long for folks to find some creative ways to use it! Now it's possible to enjoy this technology in a bigger way: We just launched Google Audio Indexing (aka GAudi) in Google Labs. The dedicated site offers more features, such as "search within video" and "sharing," and a more robust user interface.

Can I Use Google Docs at Home? Absolutely. One of the children in my class had waited to the end of the session to ask me if they could access Google Docs at home.
