With 31 days to go until many of us meet face-to-face at ASB Unplugged in Mumbai, we are now calling for VIRTUAL participants to sign up and register interest via our online form.

What does it mean to be a virtual participant?
The Flat Classroom Workshop is an opportunity for participants who cannot physically come to Mumbai, India, to attend 'virtually'. This means they will be tea… Continue

As a previous participant in the amazing Flat Classroom Conference in Qatar 2009, I am really looking forward to attending the 2010 one in Mumbai. Unfortunately, the cost of attending has prevented some of my really keen students from attending but one of my year 12 students, Hannah, will attend. Hannah was involved in the netgened project in 2009.
For us this is such an exciting event, as we are geographically and culturally isolated.… Continue

Congrats to all groups on their ideas to address Digital Divide issues. Interesting to follow the work. In some ways like the FCR conference that was here in Doha in January. In other ways new slants being put on as new people bring their experiences to the group. Particularly impressed with insights into 'bumpy' learning in a flattening world. Also the 'bridges', 'analog leap' and 'communities' ideas. Looking forward to seeing the final presentations. Keep up the inspiring work Julie and Kim. R… Continue

This has been an interesting experience. I especially enjoyed watching the students working together and was impressed by the speed at which students were able to put their presentations together. At school they would have had a couple of weeks to complete a project. In retrospect, I wish I had been more technologically competent and familiar with the Web tools, as this would have enabled me to contribute more to our project. What has been very useful is the exposure to the possibilities of tech… Continue
