Flat Classroom® Conference Qatar - a life-changing event for all

_
_ The first Flat Classroom® Conference held in Doha, Qatar pioneered the Project Based Learning format as described in our book, ‘Flattening Classrooms, Engaging Minds’, Chapter 11. It 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 other schools and experts. 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.
