Collaboration and teamwork are becoming increasingly important skills. New technologies now allow individuals around the world to work together. Examples discussed include Innocentive, which connects over 120,000 scientists and engineers to solve problems, and Wikipedia, where thousands collaborate on documents. The "Flat Classroom Project" uses tools like email, Skype and social networks to connect classrooms globally and foster understanding between students. Scientists in Antarctica also use blogs and online exchanges to share their work and educate the public through projects like "Ice Stories".
Developing a Digital Citizenship ProgramCathy Oxley
Promoting responsible Digital Citizenship within the school environment.
Schools have a duty of care to teach students how to behave in responsible and ethical ways when using the internet. A negative online presence can have a profound impact on a student’s learning, and personal and professional life. This looks at ways of helping students create a positive digital footprint and the process for developing a whole school Digital Citizenship program. Includes examples of a wide range of sources schools can use when implementing such a program.

Learning and Education in the Networked SocietyEricsson
It took 100 years to connect 1 billion places and 25 years to connect 5 billion people. Today, 85 percent of the world’s population has access to mobile communications, and by 2020 we expect there to be 50 billion connected devices.
Mobile phones, tablets and laptops are making the school desk as we know it obsolete. Today’s progressive schools are having their classrooms rebuilt to turn them into multifunctional spaces to enable new ways of learning. A new Ericsson Networked Society report, "Learning and Educations in the Networked Society" , shows that introducing ICT in schools affects six principal areas.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

3. From highly competitive focus
towards a greater need for
collaboration & teamwork skills
Management guru, Peter Drucker
argues that society needed knowledge
workers. He said "workers without
skills might as well stay at home”.
In his book “The World is Flat”-
Thomas Friedman documented, with
the emergence of Globalization3.0,
individuals from all corners of the
globe can participate in a world
economy
5. Tools in
Enhancing Team
Effectiveness
Those who have access to the above tools, can share knowledge and generate ideas
faster!!
6. With online collaboration, any individual or organization can
discover new partners, procedures and problem solving
strategies.
• In their book, Wikinomics Tapscott &
Williams describes how thousands or
millions of connected individuals can
work together on documents such as
Wikipedia to create new products or
enhance the value of existing ones.
7. INNOCENTIVE
• Created network of over 120000 scientist &
engineers
• Solving complex problems and challenges that
1 could develop into new products and services
• Ultimate in collaborative systems for advancement
of humankind
• Involves humans meeting humans in an online
2 collaboration and sharing environment with goals
of creativity, innovation and problem solving

8. COLLABORATION POINTS BY TAPSCOTT
&
WILLIAMS
Given the exponential growth in the number of
connection points, the networks that TAPSCOTT and
WILLIAMS point to can spawn innovation and perhaps
even social movement.
With Voice IP, for instance, the expression that
someone is just a phone call away is now a reality for
those who could not afford long distance calls
Collaboration possibilities suck as Skype and Google
Talk for free online peer to peer voice collaboration
join people together for research, writing, thinking,
training and education in ways nor previously possible.
As mentioned earlier in the title of Tapscott and
Williiam’s book, wikis are excellent tools for
companies, schools and educational institutions to
accumulate, store and reuse experts knowledge on
different topics.
10. WHAT IS PENGUIN PALS?
Club Penguin is one of many popular social
networking sites where kids ages six to fourteen
take on an avatar-Penguin of different colors in a
virtual world!
In this club they can interact with other kids,
negotiate the etiquette of how to play games with
people they have never met in real life
Initial registration for this club is free which lacks
certain features.
Disney paid 350million to acquire Club Penguin
as they realized half the kids on the internet may
be members of one or more of these virtual
worlds by 2012
12. WHAT IS “just 1 kg more” & how
to participate?
1 kilogram more in your travel Travellers bring 1kg inexpensive
pack. It is a cross between charity educational material to give away
& travel along their travel path
To participate, one follows three Stories and pictures are shared in
easy steps: the 1KG website where we see
- Carry online collaboration technology
have a direct impact on learning in
-Communicate rural communities that may lack
-Share access
13. WHO IS THE FOUNDER OF 1 kg
more”?
Andrew Yu initiated this idea in April 2004 when he was
touched by a story of two volunteer teachers who were
teaching in Yunan province. Andrew was encouraged by the
words of the volunteer teachers when they said “Material
deprivation can be overcome. What we need is the chance
to communicate to the outside world!”
14. What is innovative about 1KG?
Creative combination of Internet technology &
face to face communications
The 1 KG website provides a wide array of
resources & information for travelers
The web helps 1kg travelers gather all the
necessary information prior to their travel & to
later share their stories with others who might
be inspired to take part.
16. What is 1KG’s twin project?
In September 2007, 1kg started TwinBooks
A child in as city buys one of the TwinBooks
and the other book is donated to a kid in a
remote village.
With the twin books project, the 1kg people
have found another innovative way of making a
contribution to rural education in China with an
influx of resources in the form of books
18. What is Raising Global ePals ?

classroom.
19. E PALS
According to an article from Steve Lohr of The New York
Times, ePals is a great example of a socially responsible
company.
Students in this unique program simultaneously upgrade their writing skills
and increase their sensitivity to different cultures and regions of the world.
To help international exchange, ePals offers a means to instantly translate
email exchanges into different languages.
Overall, ePals is easy to use, collaborative and safe.
21. What is Ice Stories?
From January to March 2008, educators at the
Exploratorium in San Francisco could access a
series of Webcast from scientist at McMurdo
Station near the South Pole as well as scientist in
the South Shetland Islands and another remote
southern locations.
Students can read about experiments related to
Antartica’s ice dynamics,climate change, penguin
breeding behavior and the response of the polar
marine ecosystem to the effects of global
warming
22. CASSANDARA BROOKS
She is a scientist involved in the Ice Stories. Her life
focuses on the life history and population of Antartic
tooth fish.
She will posts information in her blog. Once she
posted “ I stepped out on deck this morning to find
the sea fog had finally lifted, revealing an immense
ocean of ice: the world of Antarctica
To help a reader better appreciate her situation,
Cassandra will include pictures of Antartic ice and the
coastline of Antarctica with he blog post.
Cassandra will receive replies from her post from
different countries and shares her knowledge and
exchange ideas with different people from different
people around the world.
She says people living near each other first get to
know of each other’s work from reading blog postings
about their similar experiences in a far off land.
23. CASSANDARA BROOKS
Her closing words as she heads to her master’s
commencement, were quite poignant, "I cannot stress
how important I think it is to educate the public,
especially in today’s world when all or human actions
are having such a growing impact on the world,
including Antarctica.
Cassandra is simultaneously a teacher and a student!
She adventure learning projects not only expose
students to the real world of science, but they also
enable students to share in the scientists’ passion for
their occupations.
24. ICE STORIES &
COLLABORATION
Web technology provides opportunities for kids to
be mentored by adults and older students. With
these resources young people around the world are
collaborating with online technologies.
26. What is flat classrooms?
Inspired by Friedman’s The World is Flat book,
Davis & Lindsay collaboration is named the “Flat
Classroom Project.”
This projects creates unique curriculum projects,
friendships and understanding.
Pragmatic approach to technology is used in this
project
27. DAVIS & LINDSAY SAYS
Their students and teachers have used email;Skype,wikis
shared online video and audio exchange
Social networking tools such as Ning provide them with
a means of creating educational networks
For others who wish to attempt similar projects they
have designed a seven step model for creating a flat
classrooms that focuses on connections, communications,
citizenship, contributions, collaboration, creations and
celebrations.
They are inspired by the potential for a global
transformation of education brought about by the Web
2.0 and other learning technologies
Taking a different approach to education, they did not
allow a lecture and test philosophy but rather a
collaborative, project orientated activities that would give
students a taste of the work-related professionalism and
teamwork needed later in life.
28. SISTER PROJECT to Flat Classroom
Horizon Project is a new venture which involves senior
high school students from Spain, the United States,
Australia, Japan, Austria and Qatar who explore higher
education technology trends that have been forecast
for the next one to five years in the annual Horizon
Report from Educause
They have also initiated the Digiteen Project in which
their ninth and tenth-grade students explore digital
citizenship along with students from an international
school in Vienna.
29. Flat Classroom future
David & Lindsay says perhaps
Flat Classroom projects are
one solution for the drop out
crisis highly evident in the
United States and many
other countries today

35. Summary of Collaborate or Die-
#Opener 7
Some synchronous tools, in particular cost more then educational institutions'
and organizations typically have budgeted. But the costs are coming down and
many tools are being made open source.
Collaboration are not highly acclaimed social phenomena but is a vital
learning principle
It is difficult to pin point what online collaboration is about because there is so
many forms of it
Many other openers directly or indirectly rely on collaboration and
collaborative tools.
Collaborative tools are yet another indicator that the lockstep factory model of
education is out of sync with current learning possibilities and viewpoints.
36. Summary of Collaborate or Die-
#Opener 7
WE ALL LEARN FROM:-
our peers
experts we have never met
from resources generated from another country or culture
Archival records of online learning activities completed
recently or long ago
Our learning futures rest not only on the realization that collaboration is
not simply an empowering engine for economic expansion made
possible by Globalization 3.0, but also the gains in education that
underpin the economic ones.
