Flat Classroom Student Summit

Throughout my experience in the flat classroom project I researched the power and influence of Google in the world and how it can affect groups of people. I primarily learned how to complete work independently as well as rely on a group of people to contribute their own work to produce an end result. I learned that it is difficult to count on other people to complete projects efficiently, effectively, and on time. Learning these skills has helped prepare me for my future career where I may be faced with similar situations. 

Along with learning life lessons through the flat classroom project, I also learned how to use many different Internet tools like edmodo, file converting soft wares, video sharing, and blogging as well as basic digital tools like Windows Movie Maker and PowerPoint.

I enjoyed collaborating with people from around the world on this project and it is very unique because I don't think that I would have many other learning situations that this would be possible.

I think that as this project develops through the years there should be more live communication between students. Currently there is a messaging room set up for all members of the project, but it would be fun to have a live voice chat room or video chat sessions so that students feel like they are connecting and getting to know the people that they work with.
