Interest in Flat Classrooms

Have used 21classes to get my future teachers to blog. I love it as a way to increase classroom community and level of reflection. I've used wikis and skype as well. Love all sorts of web 2.0 tools!

In the forum section, students have discussions on topics we covered in class. They are free to start discussions there about other topics as well. The more we used it last year, the more I felt comfortable in letting them take the reigns. I promoted several students who loved the site to administrator. As admins, they had the ability to delete duplicate topic discussions or ones they deemed inappropriate. They were a great help to me!

Ning allowed preteens to do what was natural for them - socializing. It allowed me to discuss online issues - safety, revealing too much info, posting pics, etc. in a fun way.

* I didn't enable to chat room - just the forum and they had their own pages to chat on as well.

I am currently working on IRB approval for some research about how allowing pre-service teachers to blog about what they're learning as a student and as a student teacher. I'd like to look at sense of community as well as depth of reflection (compared maybe to a class where their reflections are written in papers, and not shared with a group!) Did I spark any ideas or helpful suggestions?

I'm currently doing my dissertation on the impact of collaborative tools on ethnocentrism. This research will be completed during the flat classroom project. As soon as I get my prospectus approved, I'll share it on this Ning. Thanks for responding and I really look forward to sharing with you!!

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…
