http://sas.elluminate.com/site/external/event/description?instance_id=10609 This is a link to an Elluminate archive session between two teachers, Vickie Davis and Julie Lindsay from Camilla, Georgia and Doha, State of Qatar, respectively, who met online while reading each others blog and after reading Thomas Friedman's, The World is Flat, decided to create a flat classroom using Web 2.0 tools.
I was so taken with what these teachers are doing with their students half a world apart and how they have gotten them to collaborate online using many different 2.0 tools. Their work is constructivist, differentiated, engaging and utilizes aspects of Cooperative learning while assessing students individually in part by their participation which is logged by the Web 2.0 tool. The students have to work synchronously and asynchronously due to the various time zones each of the classes resides in.
See if you think this is what we all should be aspiring to as we move our students toward the use Web 2.0 tools and the skills they will need to keep them competitive for the workforce of the future.
