 * CliveSir || 10:14 || Curious to know how you do that! MT @HollyLodgeLiver: link with scientists in the real world through twitter! #globalclassroom ||
 * CliveSir || 10:17 || RT @HollyLodgeLiver: @CliveSir see @PhysicsGirlies a/c! The girls met some of their followers yesterday! Great role models. #globalclassroom ||
 * CliveSir || 10:18 || @HollyLodgeLiver @PhysicsGirlies Interesting! Their followers were scientists? How did you manage that? #globalclassroom ||
 * sbaglia || 10:19 || I'm late. What have I missed? #globalclassroom ||
 * CliveSir || 10:19 || @sbaglia Just warming up! #globalclassroom ||

 * CliveSir || 10:22 || I work at a nuclear fusion research centre. Science of all disciplines. Would a skype with an expert be of interest? #globalclassroom ||
 * sbaglia || 10:22 || We're working with a number of scientists online who use blogs, twitter and skype to support them in their sci inquiries #globalclassroom ||
 * mgraffin || 10:22 || @PhysicsGirlies so you've built up an extensive science PLN? @sbaglia would love to chat #globalclassroom ||
 * mgraffin || 10:24 || @PhysicsGirlies @Science_Grrl fantastic! :) #globalclassroom. do you have a blog / website that I can share in my upcoming pres? ||
 * TheHeadsOffice || 10:25 || How can we spark that interest in science in our pupils? Would linking it to social media help? #globalclassroom ||

 * TheHeadsOffice || 10:29 || Are U one of those teachers who is not an expert but still has to teach science? How do U engage the pupils? #globalclassroom ||
 * sbaglia || 10:30 || Science should be every student's favourite subject. It sucks that it has this awful rep. We need to fix. #globalclassroom #globalclassroom ||
 * TheHeadsOffice || 10:30 || RT @mgraffin: @PhysicsGirlies @Science_Grrl fantastic! :) #globalclassroom. do you have a blog / website that can be shared? ||
 * ginippi || 10:32 || @TheHeadsOffice I get expert advice in for the things I need help with. #globalclassroom ||
 * TheHeadsOffice || 10:32 || @PhysicsGirlies What was your starting point for your club? Did it come from the girls? #globalclassroom ||
 * beckiwant || 10:33 || RT @judykmck: Today is the launch of a new global project: Our World, Our Numbers http://t.co/Vekv2PShte #OWON13 #globalclassroom ||
 * TheHeadsOffice || 10:33 || @sbaglia How can we change the bad rep that science has in some areas? #globalclassroom ||
 * TheHeadsOffice || 10:34 || @ginippi Welcome! Are you able to make connections beyond the classroom? #globalclassroom ||
 * ginippi || 10:34 || @TheHeadsOffice #globalclassroom I think students don't always see the link between science and themselves - so teachers have to help. ||
 * sbaglia || 10:35 || @TheHeadsOffice Student designed experiments. Students always more engaged when they have designed the q. #globalclassroom #globalclassroom ||
 * TheHeadsOffice || 10:36 || @ginippi I think you're right! I was always 'scared' of it! didn't see any relevance to my life #globalclassroom ||
 * CliveSir || 10:36 || I think interest in sci is innate in young kids - teaching needs to capitalise on their curiosity. #globalclassroom ||
 * sbaglia || 10:36 || @TheHeadsOffice Our site lets our students connect to real scientists http://t.co/RVqrztMzcW #globalclassroom #globalclassroom ||
 * laurachaffey || 10:37 || @TheHeadsOffice We've connected with a doctor in Antarctica as part of our unit. #globalclassroom ||
 * TheHeadsOffice || 10:38 || @ginippi Tell us more about the way you link the arts with science to engage the pupils pls #globalclassroom ||

 * ginippi || 10:39 || @CliveSir well said! There is no cure for curiosity #globalclassroom ||
 * TheHeadsOffice || 10:39 || @CliveSir Is the 'label' the problem? You are right abt young learners. Where does it go wrong? #globalclassroom ||

 * mgraffin || 10:41 || @TheHeadsOffice @ginippi the same here, which is why I'm enjoying this topic, as my perspective has changed via Twitter, #globalclassroom ||
 * ginippi || 10:41 || @TheHeadsOffice @CliveSir I think students lose interest when they see science as separate from themselves #globalclassroom ||
 * TheHeadsOffice || 10:43 || @sbaglia Does that lie in the curriculum that is being taught? Should there be changes? #globalclassroom ||

 * mgraffin || 10:44 || @ginippi @TheHeadsOffice @CliveSir and this is actually why I came up with this topic --&gt; how can we help engage them ? #globalclassroom ||
 * TheHeadsOffice || 10:44 || @mgraffin @ginippi In many ways my whole life has changed via twitter! That was the start of 100WC! #globalclassroom ||
 * PhysicsGirlies || 10:44 || @mgraffin Anytime! #globalclassroom ||
 * mgraffin || 10:44 || @TheHeadsOffice @ginippi Oh yes, Global Classroom, World Water Day projects, ... list goes on #globalclassroom ||
 * CliveSir || 10:45 || Absolutely! RT @ginippi: I think students lose interest when they see science as separate from themselves #globalclassroom ||
 * TheHeadsOffice || 10:45 || @mgraffin @ginippi @CliveSir Students lose interest when they see science as separate from themselves #globalclassroom Need purpose ||
 * mgraffin || 10:46 || my first ever global project was for World Water Day 2011 ... helped school win major award #globalclassroom http://t.co/QiLOFBlAmi ||
 * sbaglia || 10:46 || @TheHeadsOffice teachers are also pretty trad. Hard to understand what science is if you've never done it. #globalclassroom #globalclassroom ||

 * ginippi || 10:46 || @TheHeadsOffice @mgraffin @CliveSir #globalclassroom It's more than purpose - that can be contrived. I think it is about genuine connection ||
 * CliveSir || 10:47 || I like the idea of projects which relate sci to the real world on many levels. I hate 30min time slots to "do" sci. #globalclassroom ||
 * ginippi || 10:47 || @TheHeadsOffice @mgraffin @CliveSir #globalclassroom much harder for a teacher - but comes back to knowing your kids. ||
 * mgraffin || 10:47 || @ginippi @TheHeadsOffice @CliveSir I agree. The connection to real world, real life science is key ... ICT opens up new opp #globalclassroom ||
 * mgraffin || 10:47 || @ginippi @TheHeadsOffice @CliveSir yes, and knowing where to look (science teacher communities, networks, etc) #globalclassroom ||
 * TheHeadsOffice || 10:48 || Please make sure you complete the survey! http://t.co/TkDTG9afAg  #globalclassroom ||
 * mgraffin || 10:48 || RT @TheHeadsOffice: Please make sure you complete the survey! http://t.co/TkDTG9afAg  #globalclassroom ||
 * sbaglia || 10:48 || Kids love lab work, but most experiments are "recipes", not experiments. #globalclassroom #globalclassroom ||
 * TheHeadsOffice || 10:49 || Knowing where to look is key! CDan we suggest some places pls? @mgraffin @ginippi @CliveSir #globalclassroom ||
 * ginippi || 10:50 || @sbaglia #globalclassroom Hmmm.... and often we need to start with a recipe before we can improvise (even in food science)  So what to do? ||
 * mgraffin || 10:50 || We are looking for recommendations for science tchr networks/ online communities (other than Twitter) ... #globalclassroom #scieed #vicpln ||

 * CliveSir || 10:51 || I think a lot comes down to teacher enthusiasm and confidence in "sci". And confidence in using kids' curiosity as driver. #globalclassroom ||
 * sbaglia || 10:51 || @ginippi Have a recipe where students can vary a variable.... doesn't need to be either/or #globalclassroom ||
 * ginippi || 10:51 || @RichardBJ1 @PhysicsGirlies #globalclassroom in primary school (NZ) i connect with local Uni or use parents or teachers from high school ||
