 * RobynThiessen || 02:38 || @KLirenman you bet, pick 1 thing to try. Dot Day & Oreo Project are high interest but low risk, both are early in the year! #globalclassroom ||
 * tashacowdy || 02:38 || "Totally agree with @RobynThiessen ""Once you go flat, you never go back!!"" Power of authentic audience and purpose #globalclassroom" ||

 * RobynThiessen || 02:40 || @tashacowdy Twitter is great but struggle b/c project and equipment aren't mount so hard for all to see #globalclassroom ||
 * MrsMorgansClass || 02:40 || The Oreo project was a great way to intro my kids to skype - we counted and shared with @plnaugle's 4th graders! #globalclassroom ||
 * RobynThiessen || 02:40 || @PanaAsavavatana go for it! #globalclassroom ||
 * KLirenman || 02:41 || @PanaAsavavatana Find teachers on twitter who have twitter class accounts. A connection with the teacher 1st helps. #globalclassroom ||
 * RobynThiessen || 02:41 || @PanaAsavavatana it is also a good way to communicate w/ parents! We have a Tweeter of the Day #globalclassroom ||
 * MrsMorgansClass || 02:42 || Class twitter pages also teach the kids how to make the most of 140 characters! #globalclassroom ||
 * PanaAsavavatana || 02:42 || @RobynThiessen Awesome! That sounds like a great way to start! Thanks! #globalclassroom ||
 * dubioseducator || 02:42 || """@KLirenman: Oh I forgot about the 12:12:12 project. #globalclassroom""???" ||
