Chapter 1 Flattening Classrooms through Global CollaborationIn this chapter, we introduce the importance of global collaboration in education today. Then, we discuss the evolution of global collaboration and in Table 1.1 we explain the difference between global collaboration 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0. We introduce a lot of projects and break them down using the Flat Classroom framework.
