Writing in the SmartBlog on Education, Vicki Davis thoroughly and thoughtfully explains the concept of flattening the classroom into a project-based environment wherein teachers and students connect around the world as co-creators of learning. Davis is a full-time teacher, author of the award-winning Cool Cat Teacher Blog, and co-founder of the Flat Classroom project.
