Thomas Friedman is the author of The World is Flat which is all about 21st century globalization and how it is affecting business, education, and our lives in general. By “flat” he means “connected”. I admittedly have not finished the book, yet. It is an endeavor “in progress”, but what I’ve read so far is very interesting.

Enter the “Flat Classroom Project” where teachers and students from around the world are collaborating on projects using Web 2.0 tools. Just how cool is that?!?! And I really don’t think it would be that tough to do. I’ve already talked to our specialty program coordinator, Meg H., about the possibility of linking up with some of our partner schools from around the world. Check out the link and if you are interested in giving something like this a try, let me know!
