This document discusses connected learning and creating a global classroom through technology. It describes a Norwegian high school that uses 1:1 devices, block scheduling, teaching without textbooks, and building a professional learning network using social media like Twitter, blogs, Skype, Facebook, and YouTube. The school connects with classes in other countries through Skype calls and uses Twitter to expand learning through following others, using hashtags, and creating lists.
