I have a group of younger children 3-6 years old that would love to connect in some way.  I will keep following to find out how.

Robin, Julie, when you do that skype call, I'd love to join you, if possible. It would be great to meet you, at least in audio, Julie:)

Julie, I have talked to my BOSCO colleague, Tom, and let's do it! I will be very hard to get in touch with until a week from tomorrow, but we should Skype so that we can discuss the proposal. It you can send me your e-mail address, I can send you some notes as soon as I get a chance. My e-mail is robin.dirksen@k12.sd.us Looking forward to working together!

Robin, yes we will be running a Digiteen workshop, a Flat Classroom Birds of a Feather session as well as a concurrent presentation on '7 steps to flatten your classroom' at ISTE in Denver this year.
I came across this call for project proposals and wondered if this is something we could talk together about. Also, let's talk about how we can get students from Africa to Beijing to join the Student Summit part of the conference.

Julie, somehow I deleted your last comment and it's gone. Anyway, I will be in Denver the week before you actually. I would also love to go to ISTE (are you presenting), and your Beijing conference too, but rarely have the funds to attend conferences. I would definitely like to Skype with you about possible projects and am interested in any ideas you might have. And, I always love to talk about the BOSCO C2C vision.

Absolutely. This summer will be about building curriculum, and planning the inclusion of more schools and how that will look. This fall is when it's going to explode into action with data and dialogue between students. It would be great to have talk and develop a structured idea of what kids could do in FC.

Thanks Robin! Let's talk soon and continue our conversation re setting up a collaboration for next year. Don't forget we have the Flat Classroom Conference here in Beijing next February as well., would love to see connection with Africa for this.

I mean, thank you very much Julie! I enjoyed watching Mumbai virtually and listening to the conversations.
