Small and Smaller: The third era of globalization is shrinking the world from size small to a size tiny.
By THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN, March 4, 2004
Globalization 1.0
From the late 1800's to World War I, was driven by falling transportation costs, thanks to the steamship and the railroad. shrank the world from a size large to a size medium.
Globalization 2.0
From the 1980's to 2000, was based on falling telecom costs and the PC, and shrank the world from a size medium to a size small.

Small and Smaller: The third era of globalization is shrinking the world from size small to a size tiny.
By THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN, March 4, 2004
Globalization 3.0
Produced by three forces:
•Massive installation of undersea fiber-optic cable and bandwidth (thanks to the dot-com bubble) that have made it possible to globally transmit and store huge amounts of data for almost nothing.
•Second, the diffusion of PC's around the world.
•Third, the convergence of a variety of software applications — from e-mail, to Google, to Microsoft Office, to specially designed outsourcing programs — that, when combined with all those PC's and bandwidth, made it possible to
create global "work-flow platforms."

School I'd Like competitionThe Guardian Newspaper http://education.guardian.co.uk/schools/story/0,5500,501374,00.html
The school we'd like is (2000):
A beautiful school with glass dome roofs to let in the light, uncluttered classrooms and brightly coloured walls.
A safe school with swipe cards for the school gate, anti-bully alarms, first aid classes, and someone to talk to about our problems.
A listening school with children on the governing body, class representatives and the chance to vote for the teachers.
A flexible school without rigid timetables or exams, without compulsory homework, without a one-size-fits-all curriculum, so we can follow our own interests and spend more time on what we enjoy.

Designing the 21st Century Secondary Schools
The School that I’d Like, 2000
A relevant school where we learn through experience, experiments and exploration, with trips to historic sites and teachers who have practical experience of what they teach.
A respectful school where we are not treated as empty vessels to be filled with information, where teachers treat us as individuals, where children and adults can talk freely to each other, and our opinion matters.
A school without walls so we can go outside to learn, with animals to look after and wild gardens to explore.
A school for everybody with boys and girls from all backgrounds and abilities, with no grading, so we don't compete against each other, but just do our best.

“If I Could Make a School”by student Pooja Agarwal, (Learning and Leading with Technology, November 2001), Student Technology Leadership Symposium, June 23-24, 2001, held in conjunction with NECC, by the International Society of Technology in Education (ISTE)
U.S. student leaders want schools that :
•Are Fun
•End lecturing from a textbook
•Institute problem-based, discovery-based, and inquiry-based curricula
•Implement “real life” situations and hands-on learning
•Shape the curriculum with student internship experiences
•Build relationships and “animated mutual learning” between adults and students
•Provide an “inviting” physical environment
•Provide the technology tools for students and teachers to do their work.
