 * 01:00 ||  TuvaLabs  ||  Hello everyone! This is @hs_parikh from @TuvaLabs moderating our #globalclassroom chat on #WorldWaterDay. Introductions are in order!  ||
 * 01:03 ||  TuvaLabs  ||  @beachcat11 - Hi there! Where are you from and what do you teach? #globalclassroom #worldwaterday  ||
 * 01:03 ||  dubioseducator  ||  Faige kindergarten teacher from Los Angeles where water certainly is an issue #globalclassroom  ||
 * 01:04 ||  TuvaLabs  ||  @dubioseducator Welcome! Water is a big issue in California. Looking forward to getting your perspective #globalclassroom  ||
 * 01:05 ||  beachcat11  ||  #globalclassroom Cathy from the Peterborough area, Ontario, Canada - land of lakes and trees. You'd think no water shortage here but not so!  ||
 * 01:06 ||  beachcat11  ||  #globalclassroom Recently retired, and now beginning to coach with connected learning.  ||
 * 01:06 ||  TuvaLabs  ||  @beachcat11 Hello Cathy! Interesting to hear that there is water shortage in your area. Looking forward to learning more. #globalclassroom.  ||
 * 01:07 ||  annrossi3  ||  [beachcat11] #globalclassroom Cathy from the Peterborough area, Ontario, Canada - land of lakes and trees. You... http://t.co/vwHECS0VWH  ||
 * 01:07 ||  TuvaLabs  ||  First question re. water in the community coming up in just two minutes. #WorldWaterDay #GlobalClassroom  ||
 * 01:08 ||  beachcat11  ||  @TuvaLabs Students have rural homes where wells can run dry in summer! Low water table;after this long winter, perhaps not! #globalclassroom  ||
 * 01:10 ||  TuvaLabs  ||  Q1: What does water mean to you and your community? #WorldWaterDay #GlobalClassroom  ||
 * 01:11 ||  TuvaLabs  ||  @beachcat11 Have your students experienced significant water shortage in the recent past? #globalclassroom  ||
 * 01:12 ||  TuvaLabs  ||  @dubioseducator How have you & your Ss dealt with the historic drought this year? #globalclassroom  ||
 * 01:13 ||  beachcat11  ||  @TuvaLabs Nothing compared to west coast or areas with drought. I think they take water for granted - surrounded by lakes! #globalclassroom  ||
 * 01:13 ||  dubioseducator  ||  @TuvaLabs A1 L.A. big city. Know there is water issues but tend to ignore it. Guess when it hits food market & $ then issue #globalclassroom  ||
 * 01:14 ||  beachcat11  ||  @TuvaLabs What about you? #globalclassroom  ||
 * 01:14 ||  TuvaLabs  ||  This year's theme is water & energy and their relationship. This is a fascinating topic that affects every communities #globalclassroom  ||
 * 01:15 ||  beachcat11  ||  @dubioseducator What is the situation this year? What do kids think of water? #globalclassroom  ||
 * 01:15 ||  TuvaLabs  ||  @dubioseducator Have their major PSA within the community to decrease use of water #globalclassroom  ||
 * 01:16 ||  dubioseducator  ||  @TuvaLabs we team up w/3rd grade water buddies Look at pollution and how to conserve water use in our everyday lives #globalclassroom  ||
 * 01:16 ||  TuvaLabs  ||  @beachcat11 We are based in #NYC. No major water issues here, but the infrastructure to move water around the city is $$$ #globalclassroom  ||
 * 01:17 ||  beachcat11  ||  We have our own Hydro Plant, so kids rather blasé about it - yet talk a good talk about the environment. Mixed messages #globalclassroom  ||
 * 01:17 ||  TuvaLabs  ||  Second question coming up. #globalclassroom.  ||
 * 01:17 ||  dubioseducator  ||  @TuvaLabs Ks & 3rd grade working on PSA for our school. Students reflect what they have been learning throughout the year #globalclassroom  ||
 * 01:18 ||  beachcat11  ||  Lake/river gets polluted after major runoff, and kids can't swim. More pollution issues than shortage. #globalclassroom  ||
 * 01:19 ||  TuvaLabs  ||  Where does the energy in your community come from? Highest use of fresh water is for generating energy. #globalclassroom  ||
 * 01:19 ||  beachcat11  ||  City has water rationing for watering lawns every year - not in rural areas. Fairly typical in Cdn cities. #globalclassroom  ||
 * 01:21 ||  TuvaLabs  ||  @beachcat11 Any effort to clean up the lakes & rivers? Water pollution has a huge impact on the developing world #globalclassroom  ||
 * 01:21 ||  beachcat11  ||  @TuvaLabs What do kids learn/do about water quality in NYC? #globalclassroom  ||
 * 01:22 ||  TuvaLabs  ||  @beachcat11 Interesting. Is water rationed via supply or only via encouragement? #globalclassroom  ||
 * 01:23 ||  dubioseducator  ||  @TuvaLabs not sure. Do know reservoirs down & governor put in place limits for watering lawn. Water big issues 4farmers #globalclassroom  ||
 * 01:23 ||  TuvaLabs  ||  @beachcat11 The city government has major #environment initiatives. Water quality issues not highlighted, AFAIK. #globalclassroom  ||
 * 01:24 ||  beachcat11  ||  @TuvaLabs PSA's about household, outdoor usage - especially in peak summer season. #globalclassroom  ||
 * 01:24 ||  TuvaLabs  ||  @beachcat11 People are aware that #NYC's water comes from the mountains. Big issues during Sandy. #globalclassroom  ||
 * 01:27 ||  TuvaLabs  ||  @dubioseducator Is this affecting price of fruits & vegetables in the local markets? #globalclassroom  ||
 * 01:27 ||  beachcat11  ||  Watched "Lifesaver Bottles" for natural Disaster this aft: Time to Think Differently About Water! #globalclassroom http://t.co/8w31gYw2q0 …  ||
 * 01:27 ||  TuvaLabs  ||  Question 3 coming up soon. #globalclassroom  ||
 * 01:28 ||  TuvaLabs  ||  Q3: Can students raise awareness in their community? Can you please share some examples? #globalclassroom  ||

 * 01:34 ||  TuvaLabs  ||  @dubioseducator @beachcat11 Could it be because more produce is exported during the summer months? #globalclassroom  ||
