I think it is very interesting because i have learned a lot about the internet and how important its usage is throughout the world online.

Flat Classroom Project
Today i researched about my topic, Connecting the World Online. Globalization is a very important key when relating to connecting the world online. Countries from all around the world can use this tool to communicate with eachother. The online resource is one of the most famous inventions known to man; I think the internet and online usage is an excellent idea to connect with people from all around the world, and im glad it was invented.

FCP introduction
My name is Arianna, I am 15 years old and a sophomore at Pleasant Plains HighSchool. I live in Springfield, Illinois. I love playing soccer and enjoy dancing for our school poms team. Life in Springfield, Illinois is however you want to see it, you are mainly independent and on your own for most things, unless family members and friends, but everyone is very friendly and willing to help for anything.
Collaborating with other students from around the world will definitely be different, yet i think it will be a fun experience, and a chance to see how others from around the world live.
Some advantages could be if you live close, you can always rely on them if you need help, and have them come over at your house or a "meeting" place to talk about the project and do it together as a team.
Some disadvantages could be that you dont live as close, and cant really rely on that person mainly because they live half way around the world, and your not familiar with who they are.
Some new skills i can learn is communication.

The World is Flat Chapters
Chapter 1: Through Jerry Freidman, he has helped organize globalization and process of information exchange online and the effect it has on businesses to perform various duties from remote locations with everything from tax preparation to hair appointment scheduling to hospital bookings cited as examples of outsourcing. I agree with Friedmans theory, with all of the following.
Chapter 2: Ten forces that flattened the world.
1.Collapse of Berlin Wall
2.Netscape:
3.Work Flow Software
4.Uploading
5.Outsourcing
6.Offshoring
7.Supply-Chaining
8.Insourcing
9.In-forming
10."The Steroids"
These forces started out with the Collapse of the Berlin Wall,symbolizing the Cold War and ending with The Steroids, digital devices that help become very useful around the world when communicating with others globally.
Chapter 3: More globalization throughout different parts of countries were opened so internet use was very helpful and useful to the people of the world. GLobalization had opened from all boreders, allowing for faster and cheaper development of more planes as Friedman demonstrates the need for individuals and businesses to be able to compete in a global marketplace.
Chapter 4: Freiman calls for a reality check as we explore the manner in which countries and societies will cope with and adapt to the dramatic changes that globalization brings to the way we do business, as individuals and entities. Freidman uses an examination of intellectual property of law meaning to put in place to protect other countries and how they interact with globalization.
Chapter 5: Friedman considers the banning of outsourcing, an action called for by many, to protect our country’s workers and the effect such an action would have on globalization. He also talks a bout how globalization might be considered a problem or better yet a good thing for people around the world, yet globalizatoin.
Chapter 6: The untouchables” is explored in detail as he identifies three broad categories of workers who will have job security in the flat world. Synthesizers, explainers, leveragers, versatilists and more are identified and explained as career options or stratagies for preparing positions.
Chapter 7: He explores the "right stuff" meaning educational requirements needed in the flattened world, and the availability used in our current area, or more importantly around the world, globally.
Chapter 8: A quiet crisis is happening slowly but surely as multiple and complex forces are at work creating the perfect storm; demographic, political, social, cultural, economic, leading america to fall behind in science and other technologies. Also exploring the differences with the quiet crisis and preparing ourselves for the future into motion before we are left behind.
Chpater 9: I agree with Friedman that he is completely right. I agree that not a lot of people are willing to go from across the world to communicate with others from globalization rather than just do it from there own home.
Chapter 10: I agree that countries are competing with business. Different countries are on the rise of competing throughout many things each day.
Chapter 11: Friedman opines that companies willing to change and accept change are more likely to do things than have things done to them. I disagree because just becayse you accept that fact of change, doesnt mean you dont expet change to be done to you.
Chapter 12: The Unflat World is about Friedman sharing stories of the world flattening but announces that he does indeed realize the world is not yet flat. He wants to draw attention to the flattening and the increasing pace at which it is occurring. Part of this understanding must come from a recognization of factors that are preventing globalization from occurring in some people.
Chapter 13: Globalization is very important from local to all parts around the world. Globalization is used almost every day, especially in the Flattened Classroom Project.
Chapter 14: I agree with Friedman about the war situation. I think there is no need for any wars, i think we can work our differneces out.
Chapter 15: 11/9 is positive and 9/11 is a negative influence. The wall of Berlin was created in 11/9, but on the down side of this positive, is a world wide destruction that affected people from all around the world.
