Flat Connections Global Project
Task 2: The Flat Connections Global Project will explore issues addressed by Horizon Report. Thus, you've been been assigned an excerpt from the Horizon Report. Read this excerpt and examine some of the recommended resources, identify the main argument/thesis, and evidence used to support this argument. Use the VoiceThread below (also sent to you via e-mail) to post your summary.
Directions for VoiceThread: If prompted to create an account, create a FREE account using your SVHS e-mail address. Create an "identity" by replacing the iron with the same image that you used as your profile picture on the FCGP Ning. Press "play." Listen to the directions in the title slide and go to the slide that corresponds with the "sense" that you read about. Press "comment" on your slide to post an audio or video summary of your section.
