 * WarwickLanguage || 10:12 || morning all from Leamington Spa, UK #globalclassroom ||
 * scottafcameron || 10:12 || any ideas how to apply #globalclassroom to mathematic classes? ||
 * PhilipBenz || 10:12 || #globalclassroom The problem these days isn't so much finding potential partners, as getting students to engage in meaningful exchanges. ||
 * TheHeadsOffice || 10:12 || @louisaguest When I first started teaching some of my class hadn't left the housing estate! V insular. #globalclassroom ||
 * BradCatalyst || 10:13 || #globalclassroom chat happening now! #EdCatalyst ||
 * scottafcameron || 10:13 || @PhilipBenz #globalclassroom does it have to be meaningful...just experience a different 'culture' can be a good learning context ||
 * TheHeadsOffice || 10:13 || @scottafcameron Do you need other maths classes? #globalclassroom ||
 * mgraffin || 10:13 || @louisaguest it's amazing isn't it? It is about the connections - both LOCAL and global. #globalclassroom ||

 * mgraffin || 10:14 || @scottafcameron have a chat to @bucharesttutor and @mathsiscool. Skyping math teachers is an option :) #globalclassroom ||

 * jmpneale || 10:14 || @mgraffin Thanks - ok, got tweetdeck going now...Stage 1 #globalclassroom ||
 * WarwickLanguage || 10:14 || in our virtual exchange tried to provide ways for ss to discover each other (user profiles moodle) -not as easy as FB etc #globalclassroom ||
 * TheHeadsOffice || 10:14 || Goode point been made - is it about links or meaningful links? What were you aiming at when you set them up? #globalclassroom ||
 * scottafcameron || 10:15 || @mgraffin @bucharesttutor @mathsiscool thanks for the links #globalclassroom working on problems over skype?  collaborating on projects? ||
 * TheHeadsOffice || 10:15 || @mandyrobbo Good morning Mandy. Aside but hope you will still be part of Team100WC! #globalclassroom ||
 * mgraffin || 10:15 || @scottafcameron @PhilipBenz depends if you want to go beyond "meet and greet", and form deeper connections? #globalclassroom ||
 * TheHeadsOffice || 10:15 || @mandyrobbo Is you email project still going? #globalclassroom ||
 * Mullinski2 || 10:15 || @TheHeadsOffice Good morning! Global links especially imp if chn globally unaware. Crucial to raise awareness of cultures #globalclassroom ||

 * mgraffin || 10:16 || @scottafcameron @bucharesttutor @mathsiscool these two gents will have more ideas than me, but along those lines. #globalclassroom ||
 * scottafcameron || 10:16 || @mgraffin @PhilipBenz important to have a 'get to know you' stage to allow further and deeper connections?  #globalclassroom ||
 * WarwickLanguage || 10:16 || we may need to embrace the experimental "suck it and see" rahter than trying to control everything #globalclassroom ||
 * BhavneetSingh12 || 10:17 || #globalclassroom working out tweekdeck ||
 * TheHeadsOffice || 10:17 || RT @scottafcameron: @mgraffin @PhilipBenz Agree that you need a relationship first just like meeting ch in Sept #globalclassroom ||
 * WarwickLanguage || 10:18 || RT @hamacleod: RT @WarwickLanguage: http://t.co/r40PDRFv "Flattening the classroom is removing the ... walls" #globalclassroom ||
 * PhilipBenz || 10:18 || @scottafcameron #globalclassroom Id contend that if stdnts rlly "experience a diffrnt culture" then the exchange mustve been meaningful.  ||
 * TheHeadsOffice || 10:18 || @BhavneetSingh12 I put a blank column either side so that I can focus & use the drop down menu with # to quickly use. #globalclassroom ||
 * Mullinski2 || 10:19 || Chn really benefit! Sharing great - we are sharing our enterprise money, comps, writing, email - as much as poss #globalclassroom ||
 * TheHeadsOffice || 10:19 || Where did the motivation come from to set up links? #globalclassroom ||

 * PhilipBenz || 10:21 || #globalclassroom (is twitter always so laggy? I had a better experience on MOOs like Tapped In some 8-10 years ago.) ||
 * TheHeadsOffice || 10:21 || @PhilipBenz Interesting word - laggy! I like it! #globalclassroom ||
 * scottafcameron || 10:21 || @PhilipBenz #globalclassroom Im just saying the interaction itself could be meaningful as opposed to content. Both could be meaningful ||
 * Mullinski2 || 10:21 || From the needs of chn - wider audience idea was imp & moving outside of our own classroom & school #globalclassroom ||
 * jmpneale || 10:22 || 4 me will always be to give children K&U of life outside their own. But audience is exciting & gives purpose 2 work too. #globalclassroom ||

 * WarwickLanguage || 10:23 || @PhilipBenz lag is a feature of the environment rather than the tool, lots more folk online these days. #globalclassroom ||
 * scottafcameron || 10:23 || @jmpneale #globalclassroom instead of think audience, think collaborators as well. Both have different impact on students ||
 * TheHeadsOffice || 10:23 || @jmpneale Audience is vital 2 give a purpose 2 any learning IMO. 100 Word Challenge does that & has lead to some gr8 links #globalclassroom ||
 * WarwickLanguage || 10:23 || RT @scottafcameron: @jmpneale #globalclassroom instead of think audience, think collaborators as well. Both have different impact on students ||
 * scottafcameron || 10:24 || @TheHeadsOffice @jmpneale what is the 100 word challenge? #globalclassroom ||
 * mgraffin || 10:24 || @jmpneale when u connect with kids in remote, isolated parts of the world, and exchange cultures, you are creating change. #globalclassroom ||
 * jmpneale || 10:24 || Love classblogs and connections made. Think encompasses so much inc sharing expertise of teachers and ch. #globalclassroom ||
 * BhavneetSingh12 || 10:24 || #globalclassroom our staff did PILSR survey.. Result..need to address global awareness as a school ||
 * Mullinski2 || 10:24 || @scottafcameron @jmpneale this is true! Everyone imp and part of it #globalclassroom ||
 * TheHeadsOffice || 10:24 || @scottafcameron Agree so what are the best tools to use for collaboration? #globalclassroom ||
 * mgraffin || 10:25 || @BhavneetSingh12 PILSR? nice to actually find a school which acknowledges this as a need. #globalclassroom ||
 * Cherise_Duxbury || 10:25 || @TheHeadsOffice #globalclassroom morning all ||
 * PhilipBenz || 10:25 || #globalclassroom Q: So, what about tools for global collaboration? I like mindmapping (sites like mindmeister allow collaborative maps) ||
