Connecting Classrooms for Real Learning: The Big Round Classroom Project

[Joel Birch]

This workshop is designed to allow classroom teachers to collaborate with like-minded professionals teaching like-minded classes around the world.
The project uses a Facebook group as the "digital staffroom", but in the classroom it aims to employ other tools such as Think.com, Twitter, Flickr, blogs, wikis, podcasts and beyond in turning professional ideas into learning outcomes for our students.

Workshop participants can expect a grounding in the rationale and philosophy behind the project, a brief showcase of the "baby steps" of learning that have taken place in the project's infancy, and a hands-on session to use the relevant tools and to create some content and learning experiences that can be used in their classes.
