 * RentonL || 17:07 || @CliveSir Is anyone else finding tweetdeck VERY delayed this morning? #globalclassroom ... THERE'S a frog for you! :) ||
 * iEARNUSA || 17:08 || Ha! @RentonL: @CliveSir Is anyone else finding tweetdeck VERY delayed this morning? #globalclassroom ... THERE'S a frog for you! :) ||
 * CliveSir || 17:09 || @RentonL Yep, Tweetdeck's a bit slow for me too. #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 17:09 || @iEARNUSA @CliveSir LOL ... yup - nothing like STARTING a frog chat with a frog! #globalclassroom :) ||
 * iEARNUSA || 17:10 || @RentonL Tech won't stop us for connecting globally, but it will many. #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 17:11 || @CliveSir Ugh ... I HATE when that happens ... so excited about this #globalclassroom chat from @iEARNUSA - the delay is killing me!!! ||
 * MrsMorgansClass || 17:11 || i just tried restarting my computer. Tweetdeck has not been working all morning. #globalclassroom feed is slow too. ||
 * CliveSir || 17:12 || @RentonL @iEARNUSA Maybe Tweetdeck's a bit cold too. Let's just go for it! #globalclassroom ||
 * iEARNUSA || 17:12 || @RentonL How many teachers bail on a potential global connection because of a lousy tech experience? #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 17:12 || @iEARNUSA SO true! #globalclassroom warriors, for SURE! No hurdle, OR frog, TOO big! ;) ||
 * MrsMorgansClass || 17:12 || @LoriAndrada I teach 2ndgrade in Texas. I connect globally by participating in online professional communities #globalclassroom ||
 * dubioseducator || 17:13 || @MrsMorgansClass Just using Twitter w/ #globalclassroom Don't have Tweet Deck yet ||
 * RentonL || 17:13 || Did that work? RT @MrsMorgansClass: I just tried restarting my computer. #globalclassroom feed is slow too. ||
 * RentonL || 17:14 || @iEARNUSA Agreed, Dave ... perseverance is SO important - if it's valuable, there WILL be a way! #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 17:14 || @CliveSir @iEARNUSA Agreed ... it's COLD here ... let's warm it up with our enthusiasm! #globalclassroom ||
 * CliveSir || 17:14 || A1 - many, I am sure, don't use tech because they don't see benefits/know capabilities /are scared #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 17:15 || @MrsMorgansClass @TweetChat @tweetdeck Oh MAN ... we will NOT be overcome ... even if the #globalclassroom chat takes THREE hours!!! ;) ||
 * MrsMorgansClass || 17:15 || @dubioseducator good to know. Are you following the #globalclassroom hashtag? ||
 * MrsMorgansClass || 17:16 || @RentonL @TweetChat @TweetDeck LOL! just remember to add the #globalclassroom tag ||
 * RentonL || 17:16 || @MrsMorgansClass @iEARNUSA @CliveSir 20 minutes is EXACTLY what I'm experiencing. #globalclassroom Should we press on? ||
 * iEARNUSA || 17:16 || We're having a asynchronous #globalclassroom chat! #ironic ||
 * MrsMorgansClass || 17:16 || @bhallowes Hi Brendah #globalclassroom ||
 * dubioseducator || 17:17 || @MrsMorgansClass Yes #globalclassroom ||
 * MrsMorgansClass || 17:17 || @Cts0908 Hi Tatayana! Glad you came all the way from Russia!!!!! #globalclassroom ||
 * CliveSir || 17:17 || Let's do a crude speed test. Go: What's my first name? #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 17:17 || @iEARNUSA The universe is TESTING our #globalclassroom FROG theory today! ||
 * iEARNUSA || 17:18 || That's what the universe does. @RentonL: @iEARNUSA The universe is TESTING our #globalclassroom FROG theory today! ||
 * LoriAndrada || 17:18 || Hi #globalclassroom I'm from Connecticut and I teach Pre-K-2 Library Media ||
 * MrsMorgansClass || 17:18 || A few nights ago my students and parents came back to school at 7pm for mystery skype. I was not able to connect! #FROG! #globalclassroom ||
 * iEARNUSA || 17:19 || I am going to bust out three questions, and we can respond over the next 20 minutes as we are able. #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 17:19 || I vote for tech "challenges" as being right UP there with #globalclassroom FROG issues! Case-in-point - asynchronous @tweetdeck convo! ||
 * dubioseducator || 17:19 || @CliveSir #globalclassroom on Twitter works Getting the feeds that way ||
 * lalwaniadyka || 17:21 || @iEARNUSA Bring it on :D #globalclassroom ||
 * iEARNUSA || 17:21 || Q1. If you have a #globalclassroom what frog did you need to eat-- i.e. the main hurdle, obstacle to overcome? ||
 * RentonL || 17:21 || @iEARNUSA This is a PRIME example of how BADLY do you WANT that global connection/collaboration to occur ... perseverance. #globalclassroom ||
 * CliveSir || 17:22 || OK, so no one replied to my speed test question five minutes ago! #globalclassroom (OTOH maybe I'm being ignored!) ||
 * iEARNUSA || 17:22 || @RentonL Classrooms of kids "watching" 56K dial-up modems fail ... delay on Tweetdeck is nothing! ;) #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 17:22 || @iEARNUSA For US is was getting approval to pilot a blog in order to share our journey asynchronously. Lots of paper. #globalclassroom ||
 * dubioseducator || 17:23 || @iEARNUSA Big hurdle Have class Twitter & Skype acct but still not connected 2class outside my school Privacy etc hang ups. #globalclassroom ||
 * iEARNUSA || 17:23 || @RentonL So administration buy-in. Why so much paperwork? Fear of liability? #globalclassroom ||
 * LoriAndrada || 17:23 || #globalclassroom my hurdle+managing global connections with 240 students in different grades ||
 * MrsMorgansClass || 17:23 || @CliveSir Clive? #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 17:23 || @iEARNUSA What I love about that is how it shows "nothing is fail-proof" & you role-model problem-solving REAL time! #globalclassroom ||

 * connectaschool || 17:24 || RT @iEARNUSA: Q1. If you have a #globalclassroom what frog did you need to eat-- i.e. the main hurdle, obstacle to overcome? ||
 * CliveSir || 17:24 || @MrsMorgansClass Yes, "Clive" - but that took about 8 minutes! #globalclassroom ||
 * connectaschool || 17:24 || RT @LoriAndrada: #globalclassroom my hurdle+managing global connections with 240 students in different grades ||
 * JohnsonBrittain || 17:24 || @iEARNUSA inexperience. Student teaching starting in Feb. Am I biting of more than I can chew? Reasonable ideas? #globalclassroom #EDU355 ||
 * RentonL || 17:25 || @iEARNUSA Accountability - safety - security - all important stuff when you are going global ... especially first time! #globalclassroom ||
 * CliveSir || 17:25 || @dubioseducator You're up to speed :) #globalclassroom ||
 * Oddizzi || 17:25 || Hello from a very cold London! Odd and Izzi #globalclassroom ||
 * iEARNUSA || 17:26 || A lot of the answers to Q1 seem to indicate that a mentor/guide at your school/district would be helpful #globalclassroom ||
 * iEARNUSA || 17:26 || Welcome Frog-Eaters! @Oddizzi: Hello from a very cold London! Odd and Izzi #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 17:26 || @MrsMorgansClass @CliveSir Mine is about 10 minutes delayed. #globalclassroom ||
 * bhallowes || 17:26 || Hi Louise and global friends. ||
 * MrsMorgansClass || 17:27 || My #frog was me! I needed to just decide that I was going to do it and quit making excuses! My PLN helped me overcome! #globalclassroom ||
 * iEARNUSA || 17:27 || @MrsMorgansClass What was the tipping point? #globalclassroom ||
 * bhallowes || 17:27 || Please explain FROG. I've been distracted by stocktaking at school this week. ||
 * LoriAndrada || 17:27 || #globalclassroom Our whole school district is new at this...any other ways to get a mentor? ||
 * dubioseducator || 17:28 || @iEARNUSA Time also big constraint. I teach Ks &; beginning of year lots 2do. Hoping to get going in January #globalclassroom ||
 * iEARNUSA || 17:28 || @LoriAndrada The "frog" is the hurdle, obstacle you need to overcome that is impeding you to have a #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 17:28 || @iEARNUSA Also ... finding someone to connect with globally who is JUST as passionate about making it happen as YOU are. #globalclassroom ||
 * MrsMorgansClass || 17:29 || Woohoo! I just got a bunch of feed on Tweetchat! looks like it's catching up! http://t.co/jjTye5qj #globalclassroom ||
 * CliveSir || 17:30 || #globalclassroom If the first thing you do each morning is to eat a live frog, that's probably worst thing that's going to happen that day! ||
 * MrsMorgansClass || 17:30 || @bhallowes watch this https://t.co/aLLFuWKT #globalclassroom ||
 * iEARNUSA || 17:30 || @RentonL Indeed, connecting globally is a two-way (or, n-way!) endeavor. Empathy needed. #globalclassroom ||
 * JohnsonBrittain || 17:30 || @iEARNUSA what resources are available to find a global partner? Two way street. #globalclassroom #EDU355 ||
 * bhallowes || 17:30 || Ah. We all have those. :-) #globalclassroom ||
 * iEARNUSA || 17:30 || RT @JohnsonBrittain: @iEARNUSA what resources are available to find a global partner? Two way street. #globalclassroom #EDU355 ||
 * Oddizzi || 17:31 || @iEARNUSA We think having enough time is a bit hurdle #globalclassroom also having a tool that is simple and effective is hard to find ||
 * MrsMorgansClass || 17:31 || @iEARNUSA Connecting with educators on Twitter and other online communities gave me the confidence & know how I needed. #globalclassroom ||
 * bhallowes || 17:31 || @dubioseducator I have a similar problem. I see kids only once a week for 45 min to an hour. #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 17:31 || @dubioseducator @iEARNUSA Time = HUGE constraint - LOTS would BALK at personal time it takes TOO=passion makes it happen. #globalclassroom ||

 * Oddizzi || 17:32 || @RentonL @iEARNUSA We agree with that, finding like minded teachers is sometimes hard and takes time #globalclassroom ||
 * iEARNUSA || 17:33 || @JohnsonBrittain Resources include these orgs: http://t.co/xLxaKIxI also Connected Educators space #CE12 #globalclassroom #EDU355 ||
 * RentonL || 17:33 || @MrsMorgansClass @iEARNUSA Also the support 4 tools to support. #globalclassroom Twitter PLN ROCKS! :) ||
 * MrsMorgansClass || 17:33 || Q2: How many of you feel like the "lone wolf"? The only person in your building that is even interested global connections? #globalclassroom ||
 * iEARNUSA || 17:33 || @JohnsonBrittain Also, @Globaledcon ning is fantastic community #globaled12 #globalclassroom #EDU355 ||
 * dubioseducator || 17:34 || @MrsMorgansClass @iearnusa When I am ready will also go to,Twitter and connect w/classes through chats & blogs I follow #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 17:34 || @bhallowes @dubioseducator That's a HUGE time hurdle ... hard to think of ways to overcome lack of time w Ss. Start SMALL? #globalclassroom ||
 * CliveSir || 17:35 || A2 @MrsMorgansClass I'm only one (p/t volunteer) trying to use 21C /web2.0 tech. #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 17:35 || @Oddizzi @iEARNUSA Doesn't have to be just teacher partners ... can be NGOs & experts in field also. #globalclassroom ||
 * TheHeadsOffice || 17:35 || VERY LATE! Can someone explain FROG please? #globalclassroom ||
 * dubioseducator || 17:35 || @RentonL @iearnusa I agree but really want to see if I can make it happen: perseverance :-) #globalclassroom ||
 * iEARNUSA || 17:36 || A2. Is it possible that US education system (among others) just isn't conducive to #globalclassroom connecting? ||
 * connectaschool || 17:36 || RT @iEARNUSA: A2. Is it possible that US education system (among others) just isn't conducive to #globalclassroom connecting? ||
 * RentonL || 17:36 || @Oddizzi @iEARNUSA Depends on focus of our #globalclassroom project - it's the commitment, curiosity and investment that is important. ||

 * TheHeadsOffice || 17:38 || @iEARNUSA Is any education system set up like thy? Most want results at home & see anything 'outside' sd time consuming! #globalclassroom ||
 * dubioseducator || 17:38 || @MrsMorgansClass Or using Twitter and Skype with Ks in #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 17:38 || @dubioseducator @iEARNUSA Start small ... find something that GRABS you & Ss ... & join pre-exising 2 start. #globalclassroom Get toes wet! ||
 * iEARNUSA || 17:39 || @TheHeadsOffice Do you have to eat the system!? #globalclassroom ||
 * CliveSir || 17:39 || I'm about to intro blogging in Yr4-6 next yr. Will be looking for partners :) #globalclassroom ||
 * MrsMorgansClass || 17:39 || @tspraul Does that stop you from forging ahead? ||
 * RentonL || 17:39 || @dubioseducator @iEARNUSA Easiest way to eat an elephant ... OR frog ... is one bite at a time! #globalclassroom ;) ||
 * JohnsonBrittain || 17:40 || Schools strive to graduate globally aware Ss, but do they adequately provide the resources and avenues to do so? #globalclassroom #EDU355 ||
 * connectaschool || 17:40 || @RentonL Toes wet is my fav metaphor: http://t.co/FulqJVUs Good frog connection, too! #globalclassroom ||

 * RentonL || 17:40 || @Oddizzi @iEARNUSA The twitter PLN is an AMAZING resource - connects you with SO many invaluable tech/people resources. #globalclassroom ||
 * TheHeadsOffice || 17:40 || @iEARNUSA No. You need a sturdy tea spoon for a spoonful at a time ;) #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 17:41 || @connectaschool LOL ... MINE too! How to TAME those FROGS! #globalclassroom ;) ||
 * CliveSir || 17:41 || I think you've got to use the tech yourself & hope others see/understand/come on board. Trying to persuade is non-starter. #globalclassroom ||
 * iEARNUSA || 17:41 || And that sturdiness comes from? @TheHeadsOffice: @iEARNUSA No. You need a sturdy tea spoon for a spoonful at a time ;) #globalclassroom ||
 * MrsMorgansClass || 17:41 || Q3: How do you manage to fit everything into an already jam packed curriculum? #USAproblems #globalclassroom #globalclassroom ||

 * connectaschool || 17:42 || Eat that #CommonCore! @MrsMorgansClass: Q3: How do you manage to fit everything into an already jam packed curriculum? #globalclassroom ||
 * MrsMorgansClass || 17:43 || I tell my kids when we do something hard, we eat it like we would eat an elephant: One bite at a time! #greatminds #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 17:43 || @MrsMorgansClass I work a TON of hours beyond class to continue the connections = ALL worth it, for me! #globalclassroom ||
 * TheHeadsOffice || 17:43 || Q3 Don't make it an additional thing. Find a topic to share #globalclassroom ||
 * Oddizzi || 17:43 || @CliveSir We agree with that. Once one teacher is collaborating successfully others want to follow. #globalclassroom ||
 * MrsMorgansClass || 17:43 || @connectaschool Texas is one 3 (I believe) states not using CommonCore - they have created their own elephant. #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 17:44 || @MrsMorgansClass Trying to interconnect & weave project in and through ALL learning really helps w CLASS time. #globalclassroom ||
 * dubioseducator || 17:44 || @RentonL @iearnusa You're right. Have to follow my passion. Want that 4students, need to remember 4me. #globalclassroom ||
 * CliveSir || 17:44 || @TheHeadsOffice Nice, but only for the "already convinced" #globalclassroom ||
 * iEARNUSA || 17:44 || Only at #globalclassroom chat does the convo move from eating frogs to eating elephants! http://t.co/NDFJORYB ||
 * iEARNUSA || 17:44 || RT @dubioseducator: @RentonL @iearnusa You're right. Have to follow my passion. Want that 4students, need to remember 4me. #globalclassroom ||
 * MrsMorgansClass || 17:45 || @iEARNUSA we're such foodies! #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 17:45 || @MrsMorgansClass Also trying to work on a project that is soundly based in curriculum objectives helps to embed. #globalclassroom ||
 * tspraul || 17:45 || @MrsMorgansClass Stop? No. But causes me to take more time to get started, since I'm figuring things out on my own. #globalclassroom ||
 * MrsMorgansClass || 17:46 || I am still struggling to seamlessly integrate everything and not treat it as an add-on. #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 17:46 || @iEARNUSA LOL ... one bite at a time ... sound advice for MANY hurdles in life ... not just the FROGGY kind! #globalclassroom ;) ||
 * TheHeadsOffice || 17:46 || @CliveSir It gives u those contacts u need to get started. Have u seen 'Blog Dipping'? An international selection to visit #globalclassroom ||
 * MrsMorgansClass || 17:47 || @tspraul That's where i was last year. Luckily my principal supports me. I get a lot of blank stares from collegues tho. #globalclassroom ||
 * iEARNUSA || 17:48 || @MrsMorgansClass Helping students explore their world seems a #nobrainer. Why blank stares you think? #globalclassroom ||
 * MrsMorgansClass || 17:48 || Q4: How has parental support played a factor? Frog or Prince? #globalclassroom ||
 * CliveSir || 17:48 || @TheHeadsOffice Yes, of course I've seen your blog dipping! But we're talking about the hurdles for non-tech people. #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 17:48 || @MrsMorgansClass Yes - I hear you - so MANY amazing collaborations out there - gotta find the meaningful stuff 4 u & ur Ss #globalclassroom ||

 * RentonL || 17:50 || @dubioseducator @iearnusa Look at your curriculum = your time is SO limited = have you Ss share their "I wonders" ... #globalclassroom (1/2) ||
 * tspraul || 17:50 || @MrsMorgansClass My principal gives me a lot of freedom to try things out, so that's not as much of a frog for me. #globalclassroom ||

 * bhallowes || 17:55 || Now that I am a connected teacher I think it must be so boring for teachers working in isolation in a classroom. #globalclassroom ||
 * iEARNUSA || 17:56 || @RentonL In 1 way, so easy for millions of classrooms to connect now. But still soooooooo difficult. What can we do? #globalclassroom ||
 * MrsMorgansClass || 17:56 || Q5: Has personal motivation played a factor? I know it has for me. I KNOW that this is is a better way to teach! #globalclassroom ||
 * LoriAndrada || 17:56 || @MrsMorgansClass #globalclassroom Thanks for sharing your journey so we can learn from it:) ||
