Yong Zhao's new book in 2012 - "The book is about preparing global, creative, and entrepreneurial talents. It is my attempt to answer a number of pressing questions facing education today.

As Vicki and Julie state, "Once you go Flat, you never go back!" My passion for global education has only gotten stronger through the participation of this project. All of these students that I had the opportunity to work with through both teams that we operated have done nothing but remind why I love my job! Kids are amazing! Simply put. When they shine and show their talents and you know that it is all them that have done the work, then as a teacher/leader you know you have done your job. I simply sat back and watched them blow my mind. It is amazing what kids can do when you place them in a situation where there is no ceiling but the ones they place on themselves. When they remove that ceiling WATCH OUT! because it is a spectacle to behold.

A 'must read' article about the changes and opportunities in online learning globally.

A great example of a fairly simple global project that involved 33 classes in 17 countries around the world.International Dot Day encourages creativity in people around the world on Sept 15th. Students drew a dot using an iPad app. These dots were shared via dropbox, flickr or email to Chrissy Hellier who created the project. She put this great little video together.
