Learning 2.008 - My Presentations

Finally I have posted my 3 presentations from attending Learning 2.008 last weekend. For each presentation there is a link back to the conference Ning for that session and the comments posted from participants, as well as the text from the backchannel using chatzy.com

Here is a link to the Global Collaborations PreK-12 session that Kim Cofino and I ran as an 'Unconference' session

Presentation 1

How flat is your classroom? Use these 7 steps for successful global collaboration

The flat classroom concept is based on the constructivist principle of a multi-modal learning environment that is student-centered and a level playing field for teacher to student and student to teacher interaction. Based on the experiences of the award winning Flat Classroom Project this session will detail seven essential steps for lowering your classroom walls to promote connection and understanding between geographically dispersed, ethnically and culturally diverse groups of students in meaningful, global cooperative authentic learning experiences.

I was fortunate to have Vicki Davis join me via Skype for this presentation and e her ideas about flattening the classroom.

Digiteen and Digiteacher - is your school ready to embrace action for digital citizenship?

Using the recent Digiteen global collaborative project as a catalyst this session explores what it means to be a digital citizen and how your school community can become actively engaged in promoting best practice use of online learning. Forget the fear factor, embrace safe practices and informed pedagogical approaches to teaching and learning online with educational networking and collaborative websites.
