_ Flat Classroom® Certified Teacher
I am studying to become a Flat Classroom® Certified Teacher. The course trains educators to be able to manage a global collaborative project built upon best practices of student collaboration and co-creation as modeled in the Flat Classroom projects including: Flat Classroom, Eracism, NetGenEd, Digiteen™, and ‘ A Week in the Life...’ projects. It also aims to provide an opportunity for those interested in managing a Flat Classroom Project in the future as part of the lead teacher program beginning in March 2011 to develop skills and experience with all facets of the project.
Certified Flat Classroom® teachers will become leaders in global collaboration within their schools and internationally and will be sought as partners by those planning global collaboration because of their proven competencies in the technology, technopersonal skills, and best practices of effective global collaborative projects. Those who earn this designation will have proven their competency through this rigorous course.
The course content puts the Flat Classroom® Project under the microscope as well as learning how to use social media effectively for collaboration and creation.

Part B: Seven Steps to Flatten Your Classroom Design Principles
