Sounds as if the first thing to do is get a classroom blog set up which we will begin to use. Then we will be ready to go in any direction that emerges from our group. We don't begin school until Sept. 14th.
When you mention a Favorite Toy project,…
Bob,
Not sure if this will get to you --you were the right Bob and I finally did get to your website/blog. Very impressive list of global connections. I am curious how you managed them all. Suggests to me that you exchanged similar information with…
Nerine:
Not sure If I ever answered this, but we would be interested in participating. Our school is very small, so couldn't be a match class to class, but we can be flexible and fit into any plan. Not sure age of child is most important. Let me kno…
Bob,
Can't seem to open your class blog???? Any suggestions?
Lin,
There seems to be several things going on at the same time because most of us haven't done this before. Find the Cultural Collaboration project through Matthew Stark's page. Several of us are going in that direction. Let me know if you are inte…
Couldn't connect with your class bog?
Hi Matthew:
Where are we on the global collaboration project or are we all waiting for school to begin?
How will we begin?

Cathy,
I think Jackie's post is an old one and that she now works in higher ed.
I would be interested in joining with you in a flat classroom project, but am still trying to figure out how to do it. There are several others in the same boat. It's al…

- Betsye,
Haven't heard anything new. I'm pretty sure that Nerine doesn't start school until the end of Sept. Matthew posted a new activity on this link: http://culturecollaboration.org/. Go there and check it out. I want to give you my school email address. Like everyone else, I'm extremely busy right now and don't always have time to read my Flat Classrooms comments. If there is something you want me to read right away, please feel free to email me...I'll reply faster. mfreeman@rcsnc.org

- Betsye,
I have joined Matthew Stark's group. I thought you were going to do the same. Thanks for the update on Jackie's project. I didn't realize that her post was from last year until she sent me a message.
Let me know if you join Matthew's "global project" group.

Profile Information
- Name:
- Betsye Sargnt
- About Me:
- I am founder, head, and teacher of The Phoenix School, a small private school in Salem, Massachusetts. I live in a small antique house with my two rescue dogs, Toby and Miss Raleigh who are also our school dogs. I have been in education for over 40 years, but still look forward to learning new things. After all, education is learning for life, isn't it?

- Interest in Flat Classrooms
- Ever since reading The World Is Flat, I have been interested in building the skills Friedman cited into our school. I am finding learning Web 2.0 skills fascinating and challenging and often look to my students for guidance. I am now interested in exploring the global connections that will help students understand how flat the world can really be.

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.
