 * RentonL || 17:59 || For the next hour all my tweets will be dedicated to the #globalclassroom chat! http://t.co/1UEWsH71 #globaled #connectedca #learn365 ||
 * RentonL || 18:00 || Welcome to #globalclassroom chat! Today's topic: Tools for Connecting Beyond Your Classroom. ||
 * MrsSchmidtB4 || 18:00 || Hello friends! Happy to join the chat today:)   #globalclassroom ||
 * CliveSir || 18:01 || @RentonL Hello #globalclassroom ! Greetings from the sunny UK :) ||
 * PhilipBenz || 18:01 || @CliveSir #globalclassroom Bonjour, Clive, Laurie. This is my first twitter-ed chat, so be gentle! Where are y'all from? (Phil from France) ||
 * RentonL || 18:01 || I'm Laurie - I teach in Calgary, Alberta, Canada - and I work with Grade Three Ss. #globalclassroom ||
 * MrsSchmidtB4 || 18:02 || I am from USA, Pennsylvania and I teach 3rd grade.  #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:02 || @CliveSir Hey, Clive! What time is it there? #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:03 || @MrsSchmidtB4 Awesome that you could join #globalclassroom Tina! ||
 * RentonL || 18:04 || @PhilipBenz @CliveSir That is exciting, Philip - if it's your first - you will LOVE them! #globalclassroom ||
 * MrsSchmidtB4 || 18:04 || @RentonL Just glad I remembered the Sat. chat since I usually forget. #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:04 || Let's start with Q1:Why do you think global collaboration is important? #globalclassroom ||
 * PhilipBenz || 18:05 || #globalclassroom I teach English in a French high school, and am keen on expanding my EdTech skills (more about me at: http://t.co/PNXaednK) ||
 * RentonL || 18:05 || @MrsSchmidtB4 I am SO glad that you remembered - these chats are so educational - I learn so much! #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:06 || Global collaboration is so important on so many levels - I think twitter is a great example of that - any thoughts? #globalclassroom ||
 * CliveSir || 18:07 || A1: Global colllab important to help break down mental preconceptions/barriers #globalclassroom ||
 * MrsSchmidtB4 || 18:07 || Q1: By teaching global collaboration, we are preparing students for future careers that invlove working w/others globally. #globalclassroom ||
 * PhilipBenz || 18:08 || #globalclassroom Global coll is *so* important on so many levels, for teachers, for students. Comm8n is a keystone of 21st cent skills! ||
 * RentonL || 18:08 || @PhilipBenz Twitter-such an amazing way 2 start expanding your edtech skills - so many amazing chats and info - great PLN #globalclassroom ||
 * MrsSchmidtB4 || 18:08 || Global Collabortations teach children how to respect and appreciate the differences in other cultures. #globalclassroom ||
 * CliveSir || 18:09 || RT @PhilipBenz: #globalclassroom Global coll is *so* important on so many levels, for teachers, for students. Comm8n is a keystone of 21st cent skills! ||
 * RentonL || 18:09 || @CliveSir Agreed - great way to break down preconceptions/barriers - immediate first hand learning too. #globalclassroom ||
 * MrsSchmidtB4 || 18:10 || Would help if I could spell collaborations correctly:) #globalclassroom ||
 * PhilipBenz || 18:10 || #globalclassroom I'm sure we all agree on the importance of global collabor8n, or we wouldn't be here! ||
 * CliveSir || 18:10 || @RentonL Absolutely. Kids realise that others in other countries are just like them, not aliens :) #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:11 || @MrsSchmidtB4 Absolutely - it's such a beautiful way of flattening the classroom - connecting with experts in the field. #globalclassroom ||
 * CliveSir || 18:11 || @PhilipBenz I'm here b/c my parents collaborated ;) #globalclassroom ||
 * PhilipBenz || 18:11 || #globalclassroom Q: Do your 3rd grade students engage in online collaboration during class? Outside of class? I'm very curious! ||
 * RentonL || 18:12 || RT @MrsSchmidtB4: Global Collabortations teach children how to respect and appreciate the differences in other cultures. #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:12 || @MrsSchmidtB4 YES! Such immediate and meaningful learning and connections 2! #globalclassroom ||
 * MrsSchmidtB4 || 18:13 || @PhilipBenz Mostly we do the collaborations in class using Skype, wikis, Edmodo, blogs and other projects. #globalclassroom ||
 * PhilipBenz || 18:13 || #globalclassroom Ha! Now I'm "following" all of your, your thoughts will grace my screen for all time!  ||
 * RentonL || 18:13 || @CliveSir LOVE that the connections create excitement and personalization 4 Ss too. #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:14 || @PhilipBenz Are you using tweetdeck? Makes life SO much easier when following #s! :) #globalclassroom ||
 * MrsSchmidtB4 || 18:15 || Sometimes I don't know who is more excited with the connections - me or the kids! #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:16 || @PhilipBenz For my class, we have a group blog to share our Peru adventures: http://t.co/aWt1vVGp It's done together. #globalclassroom ||
 * CliveSir || 18:16 || Should teachers take back seat in global collab, once connection exists? #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:17 || @MrsSchmidtB4 @PhilipBenz We use Skype, and our blog to communicate - it was a pilot, (so working 2 add other tech). :) #globalclassroom ||
 * PhilipBenz || 18:17 || #globalclassroom Yes, I'm using Tweetdeck. Used to do a lot of collabor8n on Tapped In and many discussn lists, also Comenius and eTwinning. ||
 * RentonL || 18:18 || Q2:How does connecting beyond your classroom spark student engagement and increase student learning of curricular concepts? #globalclassroom ||
 * PhilipBenz || 18:18 || @RentonL #globalclassroom Do you teach in Peru, or your studnts study Peru in class? who are your partners? ||
 * RentonL || 18:19 || @PhilipBenz I am not familiar with those - but - I am on a steep learning curve! #globalclassroom Love it! :) ||
 * PhilipBenz || 18:19 || @CliveSir #globalclassroom A backseat? I think it's illusory to think that all students will be self-motivated to continue collaboration. ||
 * MrsSchmidtB4 || 18:20 || @CliveSir Think teachers need to oversee connections on elementary level to keep an eye out but kids can decide topics. #globalclassroom ||
 * CliveSir || 18:20 || RT @RentonL: Q2:How does connecting beyond classroom spark sts engagement/ increase lrning of curricular concepts? #globalclassroom #edchat ||
 * RentonL || 18:20 || @PhilipBenz I teach in Alberta, Canada - we partnered with an NGO @mosqoy to connect with experts. #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:21 || @PhilipBenz Peru is a part of our Social Studies curriculum - we just expanded on it by exploring Ss interest further. #globalclassroom ||
 * CliveSir || 18:21 || @PhilipBenz OTOH, if teachers take over the convo then there's little engagement. #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:22 || Flattening the walls through global connections has deepened the learning and engagement for my students. #globalclassroom EXCITING! ||
 * CliveSir || 18:22 || @PhilipBenz If tchrs prepare Qs and As then what's the point? #globalclassroom ||
 * MrsSchmidtB4 || 18:22 || Q2: Much more fun & meaningful to speak and work with students in NZ to learn about country then to read a book about NZ #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:23 || LOVE that these connections are inexpensive, like fieldtrips=so much more meaningful than reading text books or googling. #globalclassroom ||
 * PhilipBenz || 18:23 || #globalclassroom Q2: As a language teacher (ESL) global collabo8n dovetails into my curriclm: how can studnts learn a lang without using it? ||
 * RentonL || 18:24 || How have your connections impacted student engagement? #globalclassroom ||
 * CliveSir || 18:24 || @PhilipBenz I wish @whatedsaid was here - she could give u good examples of motivated kids! #globalclassroom ||
 * PhilipBenz || 18:24 || @CliveSir #globalclassroom Of course, teachers shouldn't "take over the convo": but without scaffolding, my students get lost! ||
 * utalaniz || 18:25 || @CliveSir Students ask much better questions than we would. #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:25 || @CliveSir I also love that it takes flat learning objectives and breathes life into them through personal investment. #globalclassroom ||
 * CliveSir || 18:25 || Absolutely :) RT @utalaniz: @CliveSir Students ask much better questions than we would. #globalclassroom ||
 * PhilipBenz || 18:26 || #globalclassroom Global collabo8n means giving students a framework to work within - even if we want them to jump outside the box. ||
 * utalaniz || 18:26 || @MrsSchmidtB4 I would love to establish a connection here w/teachers for Skype calls in the future! #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:27 || @utalaniz @CliveSir Yes - true - and if you give opportunity to inquire further the learning is amazing. #globalclassroom ||
 * MrsSchmidtB4 || 18:27 || @CliveSir In Flat Classroom project sts choose from 6 topics then decide w/group how 2 share around topic to give ownership #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:27 || Q3:How have you collaborated globally or locally beyond the classroom? #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:28 || @MrsSchmidtB4 @CliveSir Are these topics predetermined from curriculum objectives? #globalclassroom ||
 * PhilipBenz || 18:28 || #globalclassroom Very cool Peru blog! thanx for the link: http://t.co/2w2LuNoU Now, what if you'd had stdnts in Peru to talk with? ||
 * MrsSchmidtB4 || 18:29 || @utalaniz Would love to connect! We use Skpe for Meet & Greet, Mystery Skypes, poem and story sharing, math games, etc. #globalclassroom ||
 * MrsSchmidtB4 || 18:30 || @RentonL Topics are set but general: Language & clothing, food & celebrations, school time, leisure time, environment, etc #globalclassroom ||
 * PhilipBenz || 18:31 || #globalclassroom haven't yet figured out how to get Skype past the school firewall. Need more tech knowhow! ||
 * RentonL || 18:31 || @PhilipBenz That would have been BRILLIANT - problem is lack of technology/language barriers - working on 4 this yr. #globalclassroom ||
 * CliveSir || 18:31 || A3: I've helped with collab between Sri Lankan kids and UK kids. Project exchg & skype #globalclassroom ||
 * utalaniz || 18:32 || @MrsSchmidtB4 Great! I've done #mysteryskype. Love it! How do you use it for math games? #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:32 || Anyone else having problems with tweetdeck shutting/slowing down? #globalclassroom ||
 * CliveSir || 18:32 || @RentonL All OK here (touch wood) #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:32 || Q4:How do you as educators guarantee that as your students connect with others they do so responsibly and efficiently? #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:33 || @CliveSir It completely shut down momentarily = my heart skipped a beat!!! #globalclassroom ||
 * momstownTeach || 18:33 || @RentonL It's definitely slow this am. I noticed that too.  Grr #globalclassroom ||
 * MrsSchmidtB4 || 18:33 || @utalaniz Played a Yes/No question game where kids had to guess the other team's secret number. #globalclassroom ||
 * utalaniz || 18:34 || @CliveSir Would love to Skype w/other countries. How do you work out time difference? I'm in Texas! #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:34 || @rentonl Teaching citizenship and responsibility is such a HUGE part of these connections - how do u handle this? #globalclassroom ||
 * utalaniz || 18:35 || @MrsSchmidtB4 That's great! I'd love to try this! #globalclassroom ||
 * MrsSchmidtB4 || 18:35 || @utalaniz We came in at night one time to Skype our year long collaboration buddies in New Zealand. 7 pm us = 11 am them #globalclassroom ||
 * PhilipBenz || 18:35 || #globalclassroom Taking on responsibility for their comm8n is part of "global citizenship" - a key skill that we teachers need to project. ||
 * CliveSir || 18:36 || @utalaniz: Are Texans well known for not being able to calculate global time difference ;-) #globalclassroom ||
 * MrsSchmidtB4 || 18:36 || @utalaniz Here is my post about it http://t.co/7vn7PWGq #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:37 || @MrsSchmidtB4 @utalaniz That is SO cool! We've been lucky - our Peru connections were only 1 hour difference. #globalclassroom ||
 * PhilipBenz || 18:37 || #globalclassroom How to handle "responsibilization"? I do it by moderating the primary comm tools. But in an open comm framework...??? ||
 * RentonL || 18:38 || @MrsSchmidtB4 @utalaniz Mystery skype sounds like a fantastic way of connecting and learning about others. #globalclassroom ||
 * iEARNUSA || 18:38 || RT @RentonL: Flattening the walls through global connections has deepened the learning and engagement for my students. #globalclassroom EXCITING! ||
 * CliveSir || 18:39 || @utalaniz Texas is UTC-5, UK is UTC+1, you are therefor 6hrs behind UK. U could prob collab with much of Europe #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:39 || @PhilipBenz Agreed - role modelling and supporting - safety is such a huge task - important work. #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:40 || @PhilipBenz We did this by moderating the blog - but didn't have individual student blogs either ... huge time commitment! #globalclassroom ||
 * iEARNUSA || 18:41 || RT @MrsSchmidtB4: Global Collabortations teach children how to respect and appreciate the differences in other cultures. #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:41 || @PhilipBenz Also very valuable lessons along the journey (ie flag counter & inappropriate adverts=great convo). #globalclassroom ||
 * connectaschool || 18:41 || RT @PhilipBenz: #globalclassroom Global coll is *so* important on so many levels, for teachers, for students. Comm8n is a keystone of 21st cent skills! ||
 * RentonL || 18:42 || Q5: Often, the first step in taking on such a project is to find a classroom to partner with. How have you found partners? #globalclassroom ||
 * iEARNUSA || 18:42 || RT @PhilipBenz: #globalclassroom Global coll is *so* important on so many levels, for teachers, for students. Comm8n is a keystone of 21st cent skills! ||
 * PhilipBenz || 18:43 || #globalclassroom Time difference US vs Euro is 6-9 hrs, possible but sometimes inconvenient: Euro afternoon is US morning. ||
 * RentonL || 18:44 || Where is the sign up for Mystery Skype - I know I've seen it through twitter chats - but that would be gr8 4 some of us. #globalclassroom ||
 * MrsSchmidtB4 || 18:44 || Q5: Global classroom project wiki, Twitter, Flat Classroom Pojects, Student Blogging Challenge #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:45 || I've also heard of people being Skyped in to read w classes - which is pretty powerful - anyone done that? #globalclassroom ||
 * iEARNUSA || 18:45 || Great to have the #globalclassroom chat series kick-off right now. Fab part of #CE12 celebration of connected education ||
 * PhilipBenz || 18:45 || #globalclassroom Finding partners: I've used eTwinning (Euro only), ePals, MS Partners in Learning, disc groups and plain old networking. ||

 * RentonL || 18:48 || @PhilipBenz LOVE Sir Ken - that would have been fabulous! #globalclassroom ||
 * MrsSchmidtB4 || 18:48 || @RentonL I teach in a Catholic school with a good amount of technology. No worries about approval. #globalclassroom ||
 * CliveSir || 18:49 || You can still collab asynchronously: eg voicethread, youtube, email, snailmail #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:49 || @PhilipBenz I'd have to look into permissions for that - so far only have permission 4 Peru project! I will do that! #globalclassroom ||

 * RentonL || 18:51 || @MrsSchmidtB4 That is fortunate - we have lots of tech - but the blogging/global/skype stuff we have piloted to try out. #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:52 || @surreallyno Yes - I LOVED hearing about your read with @ShellTerrell - so awesome! #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:52 || Q7: How do you find the time to set up a global collaboration project? #globalclassroom ||
 * PhilipBenz || 18:52 || #globalclassroom Big Q: Are you the only teacher in your school to collaborate globally, or is it part of a school-wide initiative? ||
 * iEARNUSA || 18:52 || Here are 2 new videos where topic of hunger drives the tech tools used, #globalclassroom collaboration. http://t.co/ollHTYwZ ||

 * RentonL || 18:53 || Time is always such a challenge with so much content to address - weaving it in & thru everything helps - how do you do it? #globalclassroom ||
 * MrsSchmidtB4 || 18:54 || @PhilipBenz I am one of the only teachers doing it in my school but am trying to help the others get going too. #globalclassroom ||
 * iEARNUSA || 18:54 || @PhilipBenz At about 4:00 of the video, the #globalclassroom collaboration goes viral in the school. Amazing http://t.co/Qn8tx0Fx ||
 * PhilipBenz || 18:55 || #globalclassroom Voicethread sounds cool, like podcasting, I imagine. Hearing other stdnts voices is a key element in making comm8n REAL! ||
 * MrsSchmidtB4 || 18:55 || @RentonL Time is big reason why many teachers don't do it. Has become a hobbie for me so I don't mind spending time on it. #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:55 || @MrsSchmidtB4 @PhilipBenz Me too - many not interested because of the time commitment - so powerful tho - try to draw in! #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:56 || @PhilipBenz Great question - so many NOT connected 4 so many different reasons. #globalclassroom ||
