New Projects</span></b> <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><br/>
<br/>
</span> <strong>Announcement Number 1: Flat Classroom™ Project - Invitation to Apply</strong><br/>
We are delighted to announce the re-opening of applications for the<br/>
Flat Classroom Project 2010-2011. Each project is offered three-times<br/>
per year and runs for 8-10 weeks. The Flat Classroom™ Project is a<br/>
global collaborative project that joins together middle and high school<br/>
students (typically grade 9-12, 14-18 years old).<br/>
<br/>
One of the main goals of the project is to 'flatten' or lower the<br/>
classroom walls so that instead of each class working isolated and<br/>
alone, 2 or more classes are joined virtually to become one large<br/>
classroom. The project is designed to develop cultural understanding,<br/>
skills with Web 2.0 and other software, experience in global<br/>
collaboration and online learning, awareness of what it means to live<br/>
and work in a flat world, while researching and discussing the ideas<br/>
developed in Friedman's book, ‘The World is Flat’. Projects are<br/>
constructed with an international set of classrooms (as mixed as we can<br/>
make it depending on applications). Students also have the chance to<br/>
interact with expert advisers and other classroom teachers and sounding<br/>
board classrooms in a true flattened learning mode.<br/>

We are delighted to announce the re-opening of applications for the<br/>
Digiteen Project 2010-2011. Each project is offered three-times per<br/>
year and runs for 8-10 weeks. The Digiteen™ Project is a global<br/>
hands-on project for middle and early high school students, (typically<br/>
Grade 6-9, 11-15 year old). This project studies digital citizenship<br/>
with students researching current topics, writing a collaborative<br/>
report on a wiki, and performing and documenting offline action<br/>
educational projects to promote effective digital citizenship at their<br/>
local schools. Topics of study include digital: access, communications,<br/>
literacy, security and safety, etiquette, rights and responsibilities,<br/>
law, health and wellness, and commerce.<br/>

<br />
Classroom 2.0 LIVE is an opportunity to gather with other member of the community in real-time events, complete with audio, chat, desktop sharing, and sometimes even video.<br />
<br />
Our weekly Saturday show resumed January 10th with hosts Peggy George, Lorna Constantini and Steve Hargadon! Throughout 2009 we will have special events--like our recent "What We Learned in 2008" year-end show.<br />
<br />
We hope you'll join us to share your ideas and questions and together we'll look for answers. The show lasts an hour, and links for more information and logging on are below.<br />
<br />
We strive to make our shows very beginner-friendly, and if you've never participated in a live web meeting, don't be afraid to come and take a peek at the show's format. We would love for newbies to join us and 'dip their toes' in the conversations until you feel comfortable enough to 'jump in the conversations with both feet'! We want to encourage "experienced Web 2.0 users" to join us and contribute and extend the conversation by providing real-life examples and tips/suggestions.<br />
<br />
Mark your calendar and join us for each week for a great time of learning!<br />
