San Antonio – In the news today
Technology enhances life, health of seniors, studies say
“Many people, as they age, don't want change in their life. But they have to
embrace change, and the technology that comes with it, because keeping the
mind active and learning new things is very important. It's the key to living a
long and interesting life.”
Studies have shown that seniors who use computers report fewer depression
symptoms than seniors who don't log on. What's more, according to a 2012
study conducted by the Mayo Clinic Study of Aging, computer use, coupled
with moderate exercise, may protect against memory loss late in life.

what is connected and
‘flat’ learning?
Connected Learning…….
Connected learning applies to skills, attitudes and behaviors
for the 21st century. It is about how we receive, share and
ultimately create and publish content. It is also about how we
approach learning through the use of technology. Connected
learning focuses on the building of networks and developing
personal learning resources through the interaction with
personal learning networks and professional learning
communities. A face to face community, or regular
classroom, is often the starting point, but then, supported by
technology, the learner connects with other ideas, resources
and communities online. The term 'connectivism' is often
used and refers to the metaphor of a network with nodes and
connections, and where learning involves creating these
connections.
Connected Learning…..
Flat learning…….
‘Flat' learning refers to the working relationship between
all learners - teachers, students and others - so there is no
real hierarchy for learning. A 'Flat Classroom' connects
and engages with multiple audiences, resources and tools
to create authentic, collaborative learning outcomes.
Information flows freely from one to the other as the
quest for knowledge, constructed through
interaction, continues. This is scaffolded by the efficient
use of a variety of tools, especially Web 2.0 tools, for
learning management, collaboration and co-creation.

PLC - Professional Learning Community
Flat Learning…..
…..use of
technology
to virtually
eliminate
the
physical
walls of
the
classroom
…bringing the
world into the
classroom and
opening the
classroom to
the world….
……discovery and
engagement
with others who
are not in your
physical space

Connected AND ‘flat’ learning is
important because…
…it
connects
learners
with the
world and
impacts
the context
in which
we learn
…it is a
pedagogy
supported by
technology
http://www.flickr.com/photos/59217476@N00/5617505546/
…it can
change the
world as we
know it - local
and global
…it goes
beyond just
connecting….
Connected and
FLAT learning is
the future?

Thomas Friedman
The World is Flat
"The more you have a
culture that naturally
glocalizes - that is, the
more your own culture
easily absorbs foreign
ideas and best practices
and melds those with its
own traditions - the
greater advantage you will
have in a flat world."

expectations”
“The teacherpreneur accepts the
responsibility and risks for the endeavor
and is accountable for the outcome”
http://flatclassroombook.com
What do Teacherpreneurs do?
Teacherpreneurs take all the best practices in
education and latest advances in technology and
use them to blaze new trails in teaching and
learning that focus on connection and
collaboration.

Step 2: Communication
Communication Challenges
• Timezones
• Connection issues – technical and human
• Perception and application of synchronous vs
asynchronous
– Blending learning across the world
– ‘Classes’ outside of normal school hours
– Students and teachers connected outside of
normal school hours
Teacher Meetings

• Tools for Connecting and Communicating
– Edmodo
– Ning
– Voicethread
– Blackboard
– Animoto – Handshake multimedia

Step 3 - Citizenship
Discuss!
What is YOUR definition of
digital citizenship?
Digital Citizenship
“…the norms of behavior with
regard to technology use”
Ribble and Bailey
© Vicki Davis and Julie Lindsay 2011
Map of world‟s Facebook connections Source: Facebook December 2010
Step 3: Citizenship
Technology Access
Technical Awareness
You can run into the 21st
Century when you know
how to use 21st century
tools.
Individual Awareness
“To blindly accept a
website‟s profile settings is
to hand over your digital
destiny.”
Social Awareness
“The novelty and addictiveness of technology
will harm our relationships and productivity
unless we take control.”
Cultural Awareness
 Everyone is not just like me.
 Everyone is like me in some ways.
Global Awareness
• Different countries have different laws
– Copyright, legal
– Taboo subjects
• Nationality transcends culture
– Every nation has multiple cultures
– Never stereotype a nation
P 101
Citizenship
Why did you
delete stuff off
the wiki?
BTW I
didn‟t
delete
anything
Sorry for
accusing
you, the
history
makes it
look like you
OMG I JUST
SAW THE
HISTORY ON
THE
WIKI..Really
sorry for any
problems
Step 4 -
Contribution and
Collaboration
Discuss!
What is „collaboration‟?
What is „global collaboration‟?
What conditions must exist to
support global collaboration in
learning?
If Collaboration is a needed &
required 21st Century skill,
educators need to not only
teach it, but employ & model
it as well
“The weakness is that if there is a problem, and you e-mail
them, they can just ignore the email, or they can just do their own
thing and not listen to what you ask of them.”

Ongoing Improvement – Kaizen
A thought about Retrospection…….
• It would be sad to retire and
have it said, “she didn‟t teach 30
years, she taught 1 year 30
times.”
Project Celebration: Student Summit
“In addition to the in-class
required assessment for
a global project, it is
advised that students
are able to celebrate and
reflect with others from
the project, including
teachers and students. ”

DESIGNING, PITCHING AND
EVALUATING GLOBAL PROJECTS
Collaboration Primer
• 2 or more people working together
– Higher order thinking skill
• Local:
– geographical proximity
– more opportunity for synchronous communication
– often cultural and linguistic differences minimized.
• Global:
– Collaborators geographically dispersed (eg cultural
and linguistic differences or different time-zones)
– requires more of an asynchronous approach
Discuss!
What are the CHARACTERISTICS
of a GOOD Global Project?
How can we design learning experiences that
embrace global education as well as enforce rigor
and relevance.....or are these the same? Is it
essential to have rigor??
What is an Effective Global
Collaborative Project?
An educational project that flattens or joins
classrooms and people from geographically
dispersed places within a technology
infrastructure built for a common curricular
purpose.
Interactions foster cultural understanding and
global awareness in the process of learning.
Local identity is maintained and celebrated.
Getting Started with Global Projects

Manage for Success
Examples of successful Global
Projects
“Successful global
collaborative
projects start with
planning and
designing
meaningful and
understandable
interaction.”
Am I willing to redesign my
curriculum to embed a global
project into what my class does?
“Designing a global
collaborative experience
involves transcending the
obvious real time linkup,
fostering higher order thinking
and providing opportunities for
cultural understanding while
usually making a product that
impacts others in a positive
way. ”
How do I define criteria for
evaluating global projects?
Discuss!
How can we design learning
experiences that embrace
global education as well as
enforce rigor and
relevance?
Are these the same?

  • 3. San Antonio – In the news today Technology enhances life, health of seniors, studies say “Many people, as they age, don't want change in their life. But they have to embrace change, and the technology that comes with it, because keeping the mind active and learning new things is very important. It's the key to living a long and interesting life.” Studies have shown that seniors who use computers report fewer depression symptoms than seniors who don't log on. What's more, according to a 2012 study conducted by the Mayo Clinic Study of Aging, computer use, coupled with moderate exercise, may protect against memory loss late in life. http://thepoint.usatoday.com/hilton/en_us/news/front_page/local/news- article.L2NvbnRlbnQvZ2xvYmFsL2VuX3VzL25ld3MvbG9jYXRpb24vbm9ydGhfYW1lcmljYS91cy9zYW5fYW50b25pb19fdHgvS 0ZfR05MXzA2MjAyMDEzMzU4OA==.local.html June 20, 2013

  • 9. what is connected and ‘flat’ learning?
  • 10. Connected Learning……. Connected learning applies to skills, attitudes and behaviors for the 21st century. It is about how we receive, share and ultimately create and publish content. It is also about how we approach learning through the use of technology. Connected learning focuses on the building of networks and developing personal learning resources through the interaction with personal learning networks and professional learning communities. A face to face community, or regular classroom, is often the starting point, but then, supported by technology, the learner connects with other ideas, resources and communities online. The term 'connectivism' is often used and refers to the metaphor of a network with nodes and connections, and where learning involves creating these connections.
  • 12. Flat learning……. ‘Flat' learning refers to the working relationship between all learners - teachers, students and others - so there is no real hierarchy for learning. A 'Flat Classroom' connects and engages with multiple audiences, resources and tools to create authentic, collaborative learning outcomes. Information flows freely from one to the other as the quest for knowledge, constructed through interaction, continues. This is scaffolded by the efficient use of a variety of tools, especially Web 2.0 tools, for learning management, collaboration and co-creation.

Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. Schools want to go global, teachers want to connect their classrooms with the world, but what are the strategies and skills needed to 'flatten' a school and launch it into the future. In fact, the future is now, the vision needs to be articulated now, and global learning should be planned across the curriculum now, not as an add on or as something too hard to access. 
  2. What is flat learning and why is it important
  3. Teacher to student, student to student, student to teacher. Expert advisors, sounding boards, opportunities to learn from and with anyone
  4. Use of mobile technologies, blended learning
  5. More than ½ a billion mobile phones in Africa now
  6. It is not in the future….it is NOW!
  7. Flipped classroom a form of blended learningWhere are the collaborative models?
  8. Understand that flat classrooms are based upon things you already understand – Research Based Best Practices such as differentiated instruction, authentic assessment, cooperative learning, and project based learning. The only difference is that your classroom is merged with other classrooms and your student’s partners are in other time zones and locations.
  9. Julie: We describe global collaboration in stages. GC 3.0 = more emphasis on co-created multimedia products, use of social media tools for communication, high expectations to connect in an ongoing manner, student-centered learning
  10. Global competition for jobs means that today’s students must not only be well-educated, creative problem solvers but they must also be equipped to collaborate globally.
  11. Teachers have the potential to exercise new and dynamic leadership in schools, thereby enhancing the possibility of social reform
  12. What leadership skills are needed? What decisions need to be made? Strategic planning?
  13. Connect yourself, connect your school, connect your students!
  14. Vicki:
  15. Connected to a PLN or PLC is a 21C skill for all learners. This is not about social media as such, but about using networking tools in responsible and thoughtful ways to support learning objectives. This is about using the technology to make sustained and meaningful connections. This is about professional use of social media for teachers and students.
  16. Include different connection experiences across the curriculum
  17. Become a teacherpreneur! Find opportunities through your PLN and bring them to your students and your school. A teacherpreneur is a teacher who sees an opportunity to make a profitable learning experience for students through the forging of partnerships with other classrooms with common curricular goals and expectations.
  18. Information - where does it comes from? How is it vetted?Location - we need local and global connections to produce well-educated studentsGeneration - how can learners connect across generations?Communication - it is important to include both technological and non-technological pathways of communication
  19. Vicki:Julie:?
  20. Hidden curriculum – can be opened by those with technology accessLearning capital – Learning experience of new implementations – success involves both teachers and students
  21. Pull technologies bring the information and updates to you.
  22. Connect yourself, connect your school, connect your students!
  23. Number two http://flickr.com/photos/spilt-milk/357015070/ - yoppy's photo stream accessed 4/5/2008 6:08 pm Defining Asynchronous and Synchronous Communications The two types of communication are asynchronous and synchronous.
  24. So, the flat classroom removes the barriers of time and space, allowing students to collaborate across the world and even across time with legacy projects… our student’s grandchildren could literally contribute to a project that today’s students did in gradeschool.
  25. Vicki:
  26. Although technology is used in communication, digital citizenship is still squarely about relating to people.
  27. Vicki: - talk about Areas of AwarenessJulie: Cover Rays of Understanding
  28. Vicki:

  32. Julie:
  33. Julie:
  34. All students and teachers should conduct themselves in a professional and culturally sensitive manner. This includes the types of avatars they choose, the styles of language they use, and the quality of material they upload. Digiteen Project is a launching pad into this professional learning mode.
