The room is getting smaller....

Looking back through my copy of The World is Flat (I needed to check in on 2.0/3.0) I realized that we were using the Globalization 3.0 in class last week with our presentations. Friedman says: "But Globalization 3.0 differs from the previous eras not only in how it is shrinking and flattening the world and in how it is empowering individuals" (11). In our projects, our entire class used technologies that individual students can use in the comfort of their own homes. This is incredible. By making the individual person responsible for what they are learning and giving them the reigns on making something important become of their education is truly, well, an education. This independence that they experience will benefit them greatly when they reach the "real world" of us and their parents.
