Post #6: Keynote Video Response

1. I think the Keynote is called the Big Little Classroom is because its a big group of students but small groups for around the world.
2. The students at Hawkesdale used video chat devices to communicate with the other classroom. The used a  Alumanate, a conference web page to collaborate with other classrooms.
3. Anne Mirtschin had brought in these net books to be used anywhere, in and out side the classroom.
4. I believe these "virtual classrooms" can be a useful tool for classrooms. You can collaborate with someone across the glob and ask questions on the subject you are all talking about. Students can learn about the culture from the class your working with, getting to know them better as they are with you.
5. It would be very important to do these things at the same time, especially if their is a time zone difference between the country's the class's are in.

Post # 5: the World is Flat

We had just finish wacthing The World is Flat video in class today and really, its has interesting facts about the progression of the world, but at the same time i ask my self why i should really care about this. The Economic plain field is being leveled by other country's throughout the world. While we, as Americans have become famous for unfortunately, haven't done a damn thing to get there. I do agree with the idea we need to start a REAL Green Revoulotion. As much as i want this to happen, i wonder why this is sparking a hatred in me with this conversation.
Talking about globalization really doesn't interest me right now. This class has brought me to the end of my

patience. It infuriate me and i got more things on my table to settle right now. This country, political and socialy, makes me want to punch someone, but not as much as this class. Presidental election adds and debates are now just mudslinging events. With that off topic out of the way, I'm done.
