I 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.
