Special Announcement - International Audience Votes for Most Successtul Projects
The top 6 teams had a chance to create these films, which we then put out there for an international vote. We now have the 'winners', and I put this in inverted commas, as ALL teams have great ideas and very successfully created the multimedia to communicate these. However, here are the four that have caught the attention of the international viewers as being the ones having the most potential if implemented.
Student Projects:
First Place:
Team 9 Movement 9
Second place: Team 19 Enermeter
Third place (tied): Team 1 Culture Connect and Team 6 Clear Water
In addition, Leadership Workshop teams of educators also created new curriculum desugns that integrated global collaboration. Here is the project voted as the best!
Top Teacher Project - Team 10 Tackling Transport Together
Congratulations to the above teams who have been recognised by supportive viewers virtually. All conference material can be found on or linked from the Flat Classroom Conference Ning, and the Conference 2011 wiki.
