flatlogo.jpgI have been attempting to get involved in the 2007 Flat Classroom Project but I was not able to keep up with the pace of progress by the organisers.  They have not one site, but two sites: one a wiki and the other a ning, with the ning being the newer concept.

It was very dense reading and a significant amount of material to assimulate. About the time I thought I had internalised a concept, a new event or activity took place and I was again left in the wake.  I had tentative thoughts about involving our school students but I was just a bit too far behind.  Regardless, I knew our students were very capable of producing reasonable quality videos.

While I didn’t get actively involved, I did join the Ning as an observer and watched the series of events unfold.  The task of the students were to produce a video on a given theme but they had to work with students in other timezones and the vision had to come from two or more different schools. 

The students were asked to post a ‘Reflection’ onto the Ning site. As a reflection was posted, I watched their video and left a comment which seemed to be appreciated. The students knew they had an audience.

Hi Steve

Just found your blog post. Thanks for supporting the project. The extended network of educators has been amazing, and yes the students do get a real buzz out of knowing other people are looking at and reading and then commenting! on their work. I do hope you can join a project with us in the near future!
