===And then ask yourself (as I am) why am I not doing this? How can I do this in my schools? How can I get as good a Dean Shareski? I have many of the same tools. I can do green screen, I have a camera, he has given me clues to how to present well.........Steve.===

It uses Web 2.0 tools to facilitate communication, interaction and collaboration between students and teachers from all participating classrooms. The topics studied and discussed are real-world scenarios based on 'The World is Flat' by Thomas Friedman.//

//One of the main goals of the project is to 'flatten' or lower the classroom walls so that instead of each classes working in isolation, 2 or more classes are joined virtually to become one large classroom.
