For Your Classroom
Flatten Your Classroom
A few years ago Thomas Friedman wrote the international bestselling book “The World is Flat”, which examined the effects of globalization on countries, companies, and individuals. Globalization and the latest in Web 2.0 technologies have also affected education. A new free e-book titled “Seven Steps to Flattening Your Classroom” is based on an Atomic Learning workshop developed by Vicki Davis, who has been recognized for her innovative use of the Web in the classroom. The book shares seven steps to transform the classroom through global collaboration.
The seven steps that are covered in the e-book include:
Step 1: Connect Yourself
Step 2: Connect Your Students
Step 3: Create Prolearners
Step 4: Communicate
Step 5: Character
Step 6: Citizenship and Safety
Step 7: Choice and Focus
