Editor's Notes
- Hello, my name is Vicki Davis and I am a
- Classroom teacher in a
- small town of Camilla Georgia – population 8,000 people
- So, when I came back to Camilla, I started using wikis with my students immediately and sat down in my classroom to begin blogging. I turned to a student and said, “I have to create a blog and I have to name the thing – what should I name it?” The students sitting there said, “Well, Mrs. Vicki, you’re cool and we’re the wildcats, so, why don’t you call it the cool Cat teacher blog
- , the ”poster child for the beginner” Like my youngest son, who has just learned to read, I’m a relative newcomer to these technologies. In November 2005, I attended the
- Georgia Educators Technology Conference in Atlanta with a commission from my curriculum director to bring technologies back to my classroom that would enable me to better facilitiate
- Research based best practices such as
- Authentic assessment
- Cooperative Learning and
- Project based learning. I must admit, I felt a little like this (pause)
- Pause for them to get it.
- Well, this is something powerful called a vicarious learning experience. For example, if scientists want to help someone get over the phobia of snakes, then they just have to watch someone else holding a snake. The person then gets closer and closer and eventually can actually handle a snake themselves! This is talked about in the influencer.
- Well, this is something powerful called a vicarious learning experience.

- Well, Joy learned a deep lesson by watching her classmates travel to Qatar and come back safely – she learned that the Middle East is a place with real people just like every where else!
- event for my classroom and I when I wrote a blog post in October 2006 called “My students weigh in on Friedman’s Flat World.”
- Julie Lindsay, now one of my dearest friends responded with a simple request:“It would be great if we could interact with your students! Would you be willing/ have the time to participate in an online debate or discussion? My students are Bangladeshi and Indian nationals and have a perspective from the ‘other side of the flat world.’”
- She was at the International School Dhaka, Bangladesh. Her students were primarily Indian and Bangladeshi nationals who practiced the Muslim, mine, primarily Anglo Christian background.
- So, Julie and I began to correspond and kicked off the first Flat Classroom project in November 2006.
- write a group report on a collaborative tool called a wiki
- about each of the 10 trends in Friedman’s book
- like Mobile Computing and Virtual communications and their impact on education and business.
- In addition to the wiki, the students also created videos about their topic where that to outsource, or receive video from their partner on the other side of the world and this is the type of video that emerged.
- Within the first week, something amazing happened, Thomas Friedman found us – gave us his hearty support and praised what we were doing. He went on to include us in the update of his book in July 2007, but
- But the second week was when I was sold forever on the power of this method. I was at break and had 3 students come line up at my desk and say they had to tell me something. I was afraid – it usually is something serious when they line up at my desk. They said something like this:“Mrs. Vicki, the news media is wrong.”I got chillbumps on my arms. “About what?” “They say that all muslims want to kill us, and that is just not true.” My eyes teared up and I looked at them again, wanting to let them finish and to know that the words coming were their words, not mine. “And why do you say that,” I whispered. “Because they are great and we are having fun working with them. They are people just like us who happen to live on the other side of the world.” Another chimed in, “You have to judge people for who they are, not by the labels they wear.” And at that moment. Although I knew they were learning a lot about my topic, computer science, and I knew they were learning a lot about movie making, wikis, and other tools, at that moment, I was sold. I knew that a new chapter of my life and the life of my students had begun and that this model of teaching would be a part of my life for the rest of my life. My students, my tenth graders, had experienced a change in world view without ever having left Camilla, Georgia. And my friends, if we can do that, then that, is the truest, highest form of education we can impart on future society.
- Don’t get me wrong – these projects aren’t just about feeling good and meeting new people – they are about intense, deep learning experiences where a topic is learned thoroughly and well and higher order thinking is our goal.
- But here, we’re talking about a higher order of iving and that, to me, is the most important take away.
- By then, Julie and I had won several awards and many teachers had joined 7 projects including new ones called the Horizon Project, studying emerging technology trends in education,
- and the Digiteen project, a digital citizenship project for younger students.
- Humans are required to interpret the material on the internet – we are the ultimate processor of information.
- And later that school year, we’d have the NetGenEd project, a collaboration with another award winning author, Don Tapscott, based upon his research in Grown Up Digital.
- Steve’s class, led by a newcomer to blogging and Web 2.0, Estie Cuellar, saw that we were having a conference in Doha Qatar and although we offered 4 scholarships to pay their expenses once they got there, they had to raise their airfare – almost $1600 a person! Without local support, what did they do?
- A backchannel is a live chat that accompanies a live presentation. We will use my chatzy room today that costs me $9 a year to take the ads off.

- Now, I’d like you to meet a young man named Steve. Steve is from inner city Houston and his teacher, Estie Cuellar participated in Flat Classroom in the fall of 2008.
- They made a rap video about their dream and you can see Steve here leading the group. They raised enough money for three students and two teachers to attend the conference
- In Doha, Qatar – in the middle of the middle east where Steve traveled last January.
- and this is a glimpse into the students that were there. Now, let’s see Steve at the conference talking about all the friends he made! To me, the respect he shows here for his friends including pronunciation is beautiful. Then, when he returns, what does he say? (show clip) He has learned not to stereotype. And look at what the students proposed and voted as their project. Students are the best book ever written for one another!
- All of the classrooms that attended had their classes participate virtually. Interestingly, when I returned, and asked my students what they learned,they said, “I learned not to stereotype.” Why? How?
- If we look at arguably the best education system in the world, the Finnish teachers pick books and customize lessons as they shape students to national standards. "In most countries, education feels like a car factory. In Finland, the teachers are the entrepreneurs," says Mr. Schleicher, of the Paris-based OECD, which began the international student test in 2000.

- The technology misconception is that
- it is not about the technology. We don’t teach blogging, wikis, podcasting for their sake, but for what they let us do.
- We’re on a journey. However, we need to know that
- In that movie, the “precious” ring was evil. In our cases, we must know that
- most technologies are morality-neutral. It is how you use them that determines its use.
- How many of you think cupcakes are good! Are they?
- What about when it is used to hurt someone’s feelings?
- Or how about when a compulsion to eat them makes a person obese? What do we do?
- Ban cupcakes? That is preposterous! We teach people to be kind and to use cupcakes in good ways? Shouldn’t we do the same thing with?
- Cell phones

- We don’t ban scissors and they could kill someone! We teach kids not to run with them! To use them well and our schools are full of other dangerous weapons such as
- Man. Men, women, boys, and girls can do irreparable harm, and yet we don’t ban humans. Instead, we teach the humans in our school out to behave appropriately. That is what we do in school and
- What we need is digital citizenship education. Just as we teach children how to
- Look both ways
- Stop Drop and Roll and
- Don’t talk to strangers. We also need to teach them to
- No cyberbullying
- Stop, Block and Tell, as done with this Kentucky Film Contest
- And don’t meet someone you meet online without an adult with you
- Humans are required to interpret the material on the internet – we are the ultimate processor of information.
- Julie – Offer an overview of the project – insert slides here.
- What we need is Digital citizenship education. This is our internet, it is our world, and we are building bridges today that the society of tomorrow will walk across. We’ll come back to digital citizenship later. But, the tough thing is that all of this requires change…
- My husband always says that the only people who like change are babies with dirty diapers and even then, they cry the whole time
- But the thing about change is you only have two choices – you can be the victim or the victor. Victims are the ones that have people force change on them – the victors, or winners become PART of change.
- But we need these tools so that we can
- Differentiate and reach all of the students and their different learning styles and
- We also need each other
- We also need each other

- http://flickr.com/photos/tostie14/93877458/ by Tostie14 4/5/2008 4:01 pm – We will spend the next two days teaching you how to flatten your own classroom. And, as you’ve already seen you learn by doing. So, the first step of
- Flattening your classroom is connecting yourself. And the first step is to connect yourselves to others.
- Just remember, the lesson of the watermelon as you consider today’s menu. How do you eat a watermelon?
- If you eat it whole, you’ll choke.
- No, the way you eat a watermelon is one bit at a time.
- And that is what I suggest for you to do today. Your assignment for this webinar today is to come up with your “Big Three” at the end of the webinar. Pick three things – start there!
- What are the rules? What are some examples of how this is being done now? What disciplinary measures will be in place WHEN something happens (not if.)
- We’re going to look at the teacherpeneur in four major areas today: student relations. Personal habits of teacherpreneurs, class structure, and administrative relations. We’ll also highlight what has changed and what has stayed the same throughout the history of teachers. Note to self: put a globe around this.
- Intrapersonal (within yourself)Interpersonal (face to face)Techno-personal (computer 2 computer)
- What does a flat Classroom look like?
