Flat Classroom® Conference
The first Flat Classroom® Conference held in Doha, Qatar was a Project Based Learning format which harnessed the power of Web 2.0 tools to empower students and educators to design the future of global learning in a Face to Face format in Doha, Qatar but with virtual participation around the world from their schools and others. This conference was made possible as a result of the Flat Classroom® projects founded in October 2006 by Julie Lindsay (Australia, Bangladesh, Qatar, China) and Vicki Davis (Camilla, GA USA) and funded by HSBC Bank, ictQatar and Qatar Academy. The documentary video below was created at this first Flat Classroom® Conference. It shows the project-based conference format and gives a commentary on student summit and leadership activities during the event. Students and educators from over 20 countries came to Qatar to flatten their learning experience and have continued since then to connect through the Flat Classroom® Conference network. More details of the activities and outcomes from Qatar can be found on the Flat Classroom® Conference wiki. Link to YouTube Video of this documentary.
