The Flat Classroom Fifteen
Fifteen challenges to help you embed your learning and move into global collaboration.
We learn best in small pieces and with immediate action. The book and Flat Classroom fifteen are designed to work together to let you learn and do. We don't want you nervous, so we've put titles here and when you'll do the challenge along with a link to the chapter's page on this website.
You are a product of your habits. Make an appointment with yourself twice a week to learn and act on what you've learned and here is a way to start. Remember, when you complete a challenge to let us know on Twitter and tag it #flatclass. If you don't have a blog of your own, join us on the Flat Classroom PLC or anywhere you choose, each challenge has its own tag to use in your pln or on our network to link with other people who have completed the challenge.
This is an exciting way to learn. Join us.
