Connect With The Future!

Judges are now gathering to judge video artifacts created by high school students based on the flatteners in Thomas Friedman's book, The World is Flat. Students use either American English or British English in these projects.
Judges come up with awards for multimedia artifacts as listed on the Awards wiki page decided using the prepared rubrics in combination with an online form. Judges are assembling and choosing topic(s) to judge these two projects right now at ->

Comment by Jamie Leduc on May 10, 2011 at 14:39: Hi MrsDurff,

My name is Jamie Leduc, an ICT teacher @ Sisler HS in Winnipeg, MB. I love your Flat Classroom Project. I was wondering if our courses could form a partnership?

In 2011/12, Sisler will be launching a new DIGITAL VOICES class. This is a unique 2 credit block Digital Media course designed for students interested in Indigenous Education. The focus of this course is to provide students with the opportunity to embrace, document, depict, digitalize all of our cultures (the Seven Sacred Teachings, stories, rituals, artifacts, etc.) while experimenting with digital media. Digital Voices incorporates a variety of materials, techniques, tools, technologies, and skills from various arts disciplines including dance, drama, music, and visual arts. The technologies/processes used and adapted to create digital media art may be traditional, including, but not limited to, photography, film, sound, animation, and video. The technologies and processes may also be digital: computer software, blogging, networking, game development, digital imaging, digital sound recording, 2D and 3D animation, multimedia production, and web-page design.

Here is a link to the site: Digital Voices Course

I was wondering if you, or any other teacher would be willing to participate in the course via video conference, story telling, relfection on culture, e-collaboration, etc? I hope you are interested.
