Or-Tal Kiriati Connecting students around the globe

I have a vision where students connect with their peers from around the world. Why? Because it's interesting. It's challenging to create global friendships, across cultures and across seas. And it's interesting to learn what other are studying. Even the very precise studies, like math, are not exact all over the world. Sometimes you need help figuring out a problem and someone from across the world, who studied it in a different way, will offer that different angle that opens your eyes. This is… Continue

Anne S documentary

This documentary project was very interesting. First of all, it was much easier than the last video, firstly because we had our partners in the same country and secondly, becuase we already new what we had to do. Also, I now know that I have learned a lot about the ning, because this is what my documentary was all about. I think that this was a great way to finish this project.
Also, I learned how to use Camtagia, a really good way of filming web sites. It was really fun to film with it,…

Nelson B First Reflection

Connecting the world online Group 1B Story and empathy Strengths- Every on the wiki is very simple to do once you get the hang of it . it very well organized. Its also very cool to communicate with people over the wiki. Weaknesses - It is very dull to use in a some ways .I guess it would of been a good idea to add more color to the wiki to make it more viewable and more appealing to the eye. it didnt have the same option like ning were i could have my own page for personal messages.

Zakaria Solotoff Zakaria Solotoff: Wiki Summary [ignore this blog]

I was in group 8 and our topic was PLE's and Social Networking.

Whoever wrote the wiki had obviously done some research, and they put down alot of information. Those are the strengths. However, most of the info was about Business Networking and programs having to do with such. Also, whoever wrote it did not appear to have had English as a first language. A lot of the sentence structures were awkward and hard to read. i felt like it was written by a kid in elementary school. Also, the… Continue

I feel that I contributed to the Wiki by showing and giving more incite on how many ,not just dives but also software to connect each other around.

Eli M Strengths and Weaknesses of the Wiki Page (Late Work)

Strengths and Weaknesses of the Wiki Page Group 10C, Virtual Communication: The Fun Factor The strengths of the wiki page is that it is clear and to the point. The graphics shone are relevant and the hyperlinks are there to further your knowledge. The wiki needs help on making the site personal. No one has taken it into their own hands to write about what virtual communication is like where they live. I live in a big city, Los Angeles, California, and I would love to find out what virtual commu… Continue

Megan Shung My Reflections 2

My Reflection for Flat Classroom Project I am in Group 9 C and our topic is Mobile and Ubiquitous. I discussed about the use of technology anywhere at anytime on the wiki discussion board. My video presented a school girl using all kind of technology to help her get through school such as using the camera to take pictures of the notes on the board or playing games to keep her entertained during class. I’ve been contacting with other group members in my group to discuss about our topic and share… Continue

malia luna my reflection.

malia reflection: a.) I was in group 6 c, Globalization and outsourcing. My video is about what would happen if the rest of the world suddenly collapsed, and we were left with hardly anything. Everything that we outsource from other countries disappears. Everything that we take advantage of and use on a daily basis would be gone. It shows how much we really take advantage of other countries and how important they are to our satisfaction, comfort, and entertainment every single day. I contribut… Continue

carmyn segura Reflection!

Hello, I was apart of group 2c, which discussed how the World Wide Web has changed the world. I enjoyed participating on the Ning and Wiki to communicate with my partners and other classmates from my school. I participated on the Ning by posting a blog and launching a MP3 audio of my voice explaining who I am, which I’ve never done before and I honestly had a BLAST! On the wiki I left discussion tabs for my partners to read so they can have an update as to what I wanted for my video. This projec… Continue

Jake Fitch Flat Classroom Project Reflection

My name is Jake F, group 5c, and my topic was “Using Web 2.0 to Share Information.” I contributed a video taken from YouTube that helped explain how web 2.0 was useful and how t was used. I did communicate with my partners over the ning although it was a bit slow because of time differences. I would say my strengths on this project include being easily understood, I learned the value of time available time, how to be independent on work made, I learned what web 2.0 is exactly, and I now understa… Continue

Jenny di Gennaro Flat Classroom Reflection

My name is Jenny di Gennaro and I attend the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts. During the flat classroom project I was in group four, the changing shape of information, section C, the fun factor. I personally came upon a number of difficulties, so unfortunately I have not been able to do all that was required. I did however post several discussions on the wiki ranging from a post introducing myself, to sending video clip requests to both my partners, to offering to help with their vid… Continue

As a member of group 1-A, Connecting the World Online/Design and Innovation, my project was centered entirely around the idea that the world is shrinking as growing technology continues to facilitate global communication. On this topic, I contributed to the wiki information about the growth of the internet in America specifically, and my video’s focus on instantaneous virtual travel highlighted the possible extent of future technological capabilities. Thanks to the Flat Classroom Project, I was… Continue

Cynthia Chavez Reflection

My name is Cynthia Chavez and my group was 3A, design and innovation for work flow software. At the start of the project, I made small changes to the wiki such as correcting grammatical errors and fixing punctuation, but I also fixed some of the hyperlinks too. I spoke sparsely with EE on the ning, but we did manage to talk about our video topics and our outsourced video requests. I requested a video clip from EE on the wiki, but I rarely posted there because I was posting on the ning. I think t… Continue

Eli M Reflection

During the time that I was involved in the Flat Classroom Project I was in the group 10C, Virtual Communication: The Fun Factor. In this time I connected to my international friends though the wiki (www.flatclassroomproject.wikispaces.com) and the ning (www.flatclassroomproject.ning.com). Through both of these sights, I was able to keep in contact with my partners and also see what my topic was about. One of the many tasks asked of us was to make a video, and we had to use out sourced clips from… Continue

My name is Mike Lion, and I'm from Los Angeles, CA. My group in the flatclassroom project was 4A, Changing Shape of Information: Uploading, Design and Innovation. When I first started out on the Ning, I didn't know what to expect from the project. I was really excited about making the videos, but I wasn't quite sure what the videos were yet. I had fun making my audio introduction, and I made it really cool, with special effects and stuff. I found two of my partners pretty fast, bu… Continue

Analisa Watkins Analisa Watkins reflection (LACHSA, Group 7b)

As a group the first task was to meet each other on the ning. I will have to admit that in the beginning stages of the ning process I was really unsure and somewhat slow to join the ning. Once I succeeded on this task it was quiet easy to get in contact with my group members. Though I was quiet comfortable with the ning I was not so much with the wiki. When all are work had to be done on the wiki it took me while to become very comfortable with this space. Once I set up an RSS feed and began exp… Continue

Maegan Mandarino Flat Classroom Project Reflection

Hey I’m Maegan Mandarino and for the project, the topic for my group, 6A, was globilization and outsourcing. As far as my contribution to the Wiki, I fixed some spelling letters and added a paragraph to my topic page on outsourcing. I also communicated with my partner from Georgia, and other members of my group through the Wiki and the Ning. I left a lot of posts, really without realizing it, on the Wiki and found that the communication was definitely better when you did a lot of it. I really en… Continue

There were a lot of strengths and learning experiences to Flat Classroom Project. I think that all the videos made were very good and show that people well underst… Continue

Mariam Al-Thani My Thoughts

My thoughts on online interaction during the project:

Well, the ning and wiki were very useful because it gave us a place where we can all discuss and talk about the project. Because of the ning and wiki communicating with our partners was easy. I didn't really have any serious problems with communication, the only problem i had was that sometimes my partners would reply to my comments or discussions at all or they would reply too late. This problem can't really be solved, it depends o…

Anne S Communicating

During this project I communicated a lot, with teachers as well as with students. Most of the times, I did so on my ning account, because I could not edit the wikispaces or the edyspaces from at home. I started quite early with the communicating and found most of my partners during the first few weeks.
However I did have some problems: Not everyone was on the ning until very late in the project. So I could not contact them until very late. This of course made it very difficult to work on…

When Mrs. Vicki told our class that we would be working with students all over the world, my first thought was “How?” In Flat Classroom Project, we had to learn to work together as a team with people we had never talked to, never seen, and never personally met. We did not know what they looked like or how they really acted. Moreover, they knew absolutely nothing about us besides what our news media portrays us as. Of cou…

My experience so far on the project has been very interesting. I had a lot of fun making my audio introduction. I haven't found all of my partners on the Wiki yet, but I'm sure that will change. Our Wiki has many strenghts, more then weaknesses. It is very informative and intersting. To move on with the project I need to figure out my addition to the Wiki, and to do that I have to understand it better. I understand most of our Wiki, but some of it I'm still a little fuzzy on.

I did the best that I could with the time that I had. I believe that it is a decent video, though, and I am glad that I am done!

Patty H. Living in Shanghai (on the wiki)

Living in Shanghai, China, a lot of what I take part in and what I see every day is a result of outsourcing. Shanghai, a city in which new projects and new buildings seem to spring up every week, is constantly being made bigger, taller, and more advanced because of globalization. Where I live, and especially downtown, you can’t go seven kilometers without hitting another Starbucks or Pizza Hut. Really becoming internationalized, Shanghai is becoming a focal financial and business hub. Even the s… Continue
