7. Flat Classroom Conference
Doha, Qatar 2009
Students in Australia presented remotely about digital citizenship
The signpost of your destiny is becoming what you post
online. In our interconnected world, the only face
people will see is your name and what you share. To
refuse to share is to refuse to exist in technological
spaces where humans connect.

The hardest part of any online meeting is having a successful start. Getting everyone there on time is important. So we start by teaching students how to enter a room by using the “Excite Method.” When first beginning attending an online classroom, I recommend starting to enter at least 15-20 minutes early or try it out the day before. It is amazing how many people don’t try a technology and just expect it to work. Test, test, and retest the technology. Students just walk into our face to face classrooms but we forget that it took a year to learn how to walk. Students need to give themselves time to learn how to walk into a classroom.
