 * Novalightning || 02:15 || Did a study on human impact on environment used #skype to talk with expert in london on river cleanup for olympics #globalclassroom ||
 * JosePopoff || 02:15 || A1: One effective way of encouraging connections might be modeling. #globalclassroom ||
 * RobynThiessen || 02:15 || @JosePopoff Hi Jose, we were in AWL together #globalclassroom ||
 * vanschaijik || 02:15 || @JosePopoff Welcome to #globalclassroom ||
 * jennysfen || 02:16 || @JosePopoff Sounds interesting - what do you mean by modeling? #globalclassroom ||
 * vanschaijik || 02:16 || @Novalightning Wow, is this documented anywhere #globalclassroom ||
 * jennysfen || 02:17 || @RobynThiessen @josepopoff You both did AWL? I did that with my students in Sept.-Dec. #globalclassroom ||
 * JosePopoff || 02:17 || @jennysfen Oh no, wait, was a bit confused. I thought you were talking about international connections in general. #globalclassroom ||
 * RobynThiessen || 02:17 || @Novalightning that is very cool! Did you find that project on Skype? #globalclassroom ||
 * Novalightning || 02:18 || @vanschaijik No its not, was jst something th students drove through #inquiry - comparison between local river & River Lee #globalclassroom ||
 * JosePopoff || 02:18 || @jennysfen @RobynThiessen I honestly don't know what AWL is? #globalclassroom ||

 * vanschaijik || 02:25 || RT @jennysfen: Q2 How can we engage, and capture our students' interest in science? #globalclassroom ||
 * JosePopoff || 02:25 || A2: Hands-on, real-life experiences, significant connections with scientists. Show enthusiasm yourself! #globalclassroom ||
 * Novalightning || 02:25 || @jennysfen I find giving students real life problems, hands on activities keeps them engaged. #globalclassroom ||
 * Novalightning || 02:25 || Unfortunately there are to many Chalk and Talk teachers still out there. #globalclassroom ||
 * JosePopoff || 02:25 || @RobynThiessen Is there any link to this? #globalclassroom ||
 * jennysfen || 02:25 || I think by having Ss involved in the real work of scientists, such as @Novalightning's river inquiry is 1 of the best ways #globalclassroom ||
 * vanschaijik || 02:26 || @Novalightning @jennysfen @JosePopoff Indeed. Can you share some examples? #globalclassroom ||
 * jennysfen || 02:27 || @JosePopoff So true! Just read a short post with a fab. video about passion by @paulbogush http://t.co/ibd754yGr5 #globalclassroom ||
