**Opencourseware**
90% of MIT courses are on line ([|Open Courseware]) [|MIT OpenCourseWare -- Fact Sheet - MIT News Office] Students can "take courses"; teachers can look at the resources that MIT faculty are using.

[|Most Viewed Courses] Example of video lecture available: [|Introduction to Biology, Fall 2004 Video Lectures] [|Foreign Languages and Literatures 21F.223 Listening, Speaking, and Pronunciation, Fall 2004] [|Courses by Subject]

Alan's comments: Many HS students outside of US are taking MIT online courses.. 33% of MIT students have taken a MIT course online as a high school student.

**Globalize Education**
We must globalize our education. We must teach children that there is a different point of view. Example: search these keywords Turkey pope speech riot Islam Use [|google] Use [|altavista] search host:TR pope speech riot Islam Using the second search gives you only results from Turkey.

**Collaboration**
- use the Internet for collaboration.

Global learning tools. e.g. 1st workshop Alan would teach teachers (to learn technology) is [|Skype].

Design element #1** Find the authentic source. e.g. Use [|altavista] search host:ac.uk "American Revolution" "General Gage". Teach children to engage with with someone on the ground level. **Design element #2** You will record the event. Students will record for reflective review. The recorded event will be available 24/7. Students are more willing to accept criticism over the web than from their teacher (only the work is being judged, not the person.) Have teachers assess students work in a collaborative network.
 * Design elements for designing learning
 * Design element #3** Create the conditions where people are continuously reflective about their work (not an assignment that is over, but on YouTube, blog). [|Technorati] - to search for blogs
 * Design element #4** Whenever possible you want authentic asssessment. Provide the capability for the world to comment.
