The Flat Classroom

The Atomic Learning podcast was very informative about how you might go about create a cross national/global collaborative project.  The project they did about factors flattening the world was beneficial.  I wish she would've showed some examples of what these projects look like, and how these projects progressed as they bounced back and forth.  I think that with some work that these projects have a lot of benefit.  There are so many options; it's just chosing what you can fit in.  Sometimes, the author seems a little idealistic as if this will go off without problems.  I think some students probably couldn't handle this sort of collaboration based on tech skills, maturity, and work effort, but this would be a teachable moment about character traits that important in the work force.
