90% of MIT courses are on line ([|Open Courseware]) 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.

Students can take courses; teachers can look at the resources that MIT faculty are using.

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 The results using gives you only results from Turkey.

Global learning tools.
 * Collaboration - use the Internet for collaboration.**

e.g. 1st worksop Alan would teach is Skype.

e.g. Use [|altavista] search host:ac.uk "American Revolution" "General Gage" **Design element #2** You will record the event. Available 24/7.
 * Design element #1** for designing learning: find the authentic source.
 * Design element #3** Create the conditions where people are continuously reflective abot their work (not an assignment that is over, but on YouTube, blog)
 * Design element #4** Whenever possible you want authentic asssessment. 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.
