It has fostered four similar projects, Digiteen, Eracism, NetGenEd, and A Week in the Life, based on the same holistic and constructivist educational approach.
Another spin-off effort is the Flat Classroom Conference which brings together geographically distant students that have participated in affiliated projects for a face-to-face meeting.
The workshops are designed to explore global social issues and inspire unity and action, while advancing continued student-to-student and educator-to-educator connections.
The first product involves groups of students working collaboratively to compose a wiki web page based on topic research, and using Wikipedia as a model.
Additionally, participating students are encouraged to develop Personal Learning Environments and Networks using Internet tools while conducting their research.
