A Week in the Life brought to you by Flat Connections

The 'A Week in the Life' Project is for Elementary School students of approximate ages 8-11 (Grade 3-6). Students connect, communicate, explore global topics and issues and share ideas and solutions through co-created digital artifacts.  

The 'A Week in the Life' Project curriculum focus is Interdisciplinary, including concepts for how we live, how we communicate, cultural understanding and global awareness. The project uses Design Thinking as a model to foster better understanding of the process of collaboration. 

The 'A Week in the Life' Project aims to be holistic and foster collaborative learning. It joins classrooms globally with a view to exploring what life is like in each country through discussion, sharing and collecting multimedia and creating final products together. These are then compared and contrasted and become the focus of further inquiry-based educational activities during and after the global project.
