=Welcome to WCTA Flat Classroom Project 2011-2012=

The WCTA flat classroom project is a schoolwide project for freshmen in Computer-Based Projects. Students will work in collaborative teams to research topics from Thomas Friedman's book, //The World Is Flat// and Daniel Pink's //A Whole New Mind//. Students read these books during the first semester and will now research the concepts found in these books.
