I am new to Classroom 2.0. I just joined yesterday, and discovered quite by chance through "delicious" tags. I teach in a rural area (the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia where in parts of our county we have horses and buggies (Mennonites) clip clopping on down the road. I began working collaboratively so that my students would see beyond our classroom walls. I have collaborated through the AT&T Network (Learning Circles), through NASA Quest Projects, and now through iEarn. We are currently involved in the Teddy Bear Project and are working with a school in Japan.

I am interested and excited about thyour project.

Hi, Mark!

You might want to look at Lucy Gray's Global Education Collaborative Ning network, which has 900 or so members and which might be exactly what you're looking for.

"If the world is flat...so should be your classroom." I appreciate your idea! Great. There should be no barrier in education world. Students also need to know the world, the whole world.
When I try to join in, the system requires an invitation. How to join in Flatclassroom successfully? Thanks.
