This document summarizes a presentation about connecting classrooms globally using emerging technologies. It discusses how Thomas Friedman's concept of a "flat world" enabled by the internet allows for sharing knowledge across borders. Six essential skills are outlined for the conceptual age: design, story, symphony, empathy, play, and meaning. Educational networking, social bookmarking, multimedia mashups, and collaborative writing on wikis are presented as tools to connect, communicate and collaborate globally. Emerging technologies like mobile computing and augmented reality are also discussed. The presentation models connecting classrooms internationally to learn 21st century skills.
