- Interest in Flat Classrooms
- I am interested in connecting my students with other students to provide more diverse learning opportunity. We are a rural community but our school has an Internet Learning Center (ILC) which was developed by Relief International-Schools Online. Students, teachers and community users use this ILC by practice computer, Internet browse, email etc. Apart from we are very regular to participate any kind of online/offline activity which is assigned by Relief International. I hope Flat classrooms would provide a great opportunity to use web 2.0 tools to deepen learning and understanding.

Hi Purti,
That sounds great! I know the festival of "Makar Sankranti" is coming soon and we are very excited to learn about it. Will it be possible for you to take pictures or videos of the kites flying, and also some pictures of your students with…
I guess the pertinent thing is to discuss at the beginning of the year. If the enthusiasm exists there must be possibilities.

I teach in the Primary School of Qatar Academy, Doha. In October, the Grade 2 classes will be beginning the unit “Living here, living there.” The unit involves comparing aspects of life in other countries with life in Qatar. This year the teachers have decided to focus on the countries which are home to many of our expatriate labourers and general workers. There are 5 Grade 2 classes with 22 students in each. The countries they are studying are: India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka and the Philippines.
We would very much like to set up a collaborative relationship with a school in each of these countries. I realize that you are teaching in the high school, but I wondered if there may be an older class who would be happy to connect and share information about their country with younger students. It could be a wiki in which the students share information on the countries they are living in; they could use voicethread with photographs to share information, annotated photographs on flickr.....or it could be communication via email. Once we have identified classes with whom we can work, we can look at the details.
If you know of a teacher in Bangladesh who might be interested, please contact me. Thanks very much.
