 * kozving || 10:21 || #globalclassroom @tashacowdy @murcha I agree ||
 * mgraffin || 10:22 || .@murcha relationships are based on global conversations .. between teachers, between students ... all starts from there #globalclassroom ||
 * Themadkiwi1 || 10:22 || @tashacowdy @murcha #agree inquiry into personal identity and culture leads to curiosity about similarities with others #globalclassroom ||
 * SwayGrantham || 10:22 || Hi #globalclassroom chat, I am partly here this morning! ||
 * tashacowdy || 10:23 || If Ss have opportunities to communicate and collaborated f2f, it's easier for them to communicate and collaborate globally #globalclassroom ||
 * murcha || 10:23 || @mgraffin What tools can be used to begin these #globalclassroom conversations between individuals and classes? ||
 * murcha || 10:24 || Q3 How does global learning/collaboration differ between younger and older learners? #globalclassroom ||
 * murcha || 10:25 || Hmmm I find that some of quietest least confident students (ie the older ones) can be most confident in chat and on webcam. #globalclassroom ||
 * SwayGrantham || 10:26 || @murcha A3 more modelling and support needed for younger end and more advice/safety skills needed #globalclassroom ||
 * SwayGrantham || 10:27 || @murcha @mgraffin projects such as @SkypeClassroom and @etwinninguk are good for making global connections #globalclassroom ||
 * mgraffin || 10:27 || @Themadkiwi1 @murcha this is how @Deb_Frazier's Kids Speak project originated ... from kids' inquiry http://t.co/E0JA8QxY #globalclassroom ||
 * tashacowdy || 10:27 || A3 Often big idea is the same but different tools more appropriate for one age group than another #globalclassroom ||
 * mgraffin || 10:28 || kids speak voicethread http://t.co/2OQOACAj #globalclassroom ||
 * murcha || 10:29 || Global learning/collab may b more tchr driven & scaffolded w young. Tools may vary. Individual blogs for older students #globalclassroom ||
 * mgraffin || 10:29 || @SwayGrantham @murcha awesome :) so many organisations, so little time! :P #globalclassroom rec @PTPIPaige @gcporganisers @flatclassroom too ||
 * mgraffin || 10:30 || @murcha edmodo, voicethread, shared blog posts, twitter, facebook, ... depends on expertise & interest (age of students) #globalclassroom ||

 * murcha || 10:32 || Q4 How do you ensure that students have skills & understanding necessary to participate in a global collaboration project? #globalclassroom ||
 * mgraffin || 10:32 || @murcha and skype, like Hello Little World Skypers is brilliant #globalclassroom ||
 * jasongraham99 || 10:35 || A4 many skills we learn face to face in class also transferable to global connections #globalclassroom ||

 * murcha || 10:35 || Finding a simple global project is a great way to start - so much to learn by collaborating with others of similar passion #globalclassroom ||
 * GregReynoldsTTS || 10:35 || #globalclassroom Only thing preventing teachers from using global learning network -Internet- is teacher fear of change http://t.co/VA09bYoI ||
 * murcha || 10:36 || MT @vanschaijik: https://t.co/4Ak1EQ9q We have used 4 young children = SuperClubsPLUS Hot Seat a global forum 4 children. #globalclassroom ||

 * PhilipBenz || 10:39 || Bonjour, yall. Hey, @murcha if you are looking for a #globalclassroom project, I'm just starting one up on environmental awareness campaigns ||
 * vanschaijik || 10:39 || @murcha Where are you Anne? have a sabbatical to explore this area July 2013? #globalclassroom ||
 * PhilipBenz || 10:40 || @GregReynoldsTTS is right, tchrs are reticent to launch #globalclassroom projects for mny reasons: they think it will be too much extra work ||
 * murcha || 10:41 || @vanschaijik Teach in SE Australia- rural school culturally /geographically isolated. My students see cultures thru web cam #globalclassroom ||
 * tashacowdy || 10:41 || Q5. Which tools do you find most useful for global collaboration? #globalclassroom ||
 * PhoenixSchool || 10:42 || @gregreynolds agree. Kids are ready for more.  Teachers need confidence to learn together with kids. #globalclassroom ||
 * murcha || 10:42 || @PhilipBenz Do you have link to share on environmental awareness global project. Others may be interested #globalclassroom. ||
 * SwayGrantham || 10:42 || @murcha @gregreynoldstts but policies in place to protect from any potential esafety worries and worries of being sued #globalclassroom ||
 * jasongraham99 || 10:43 || @tashacowdy A5 any tool that allows collaboration on a level playing field. Sometimes its snail mail. Sometimes skype #globalclassroom ||
 * SwayGrantham || 10:43 || @tashacowdy A5 twitter, blogs #globalclassroom ||
 * PhilipBenz || 10:43 || Tools for #globalclassroom projects: blogs are good for publishing student work, but you can't beat forums for asynchronous conversations. ||
 * vanschaijik || 10:44 || RT @PhoenixSchool: @gregreynolds agree. Kids are ready for more.  Teachers need confidence to learn together with kids. #globalclassroom ||
 * vanschaijik || 10:44 || @jasongraham99 @tashacowdy Agreed #globalclassroom ||
 * tashacowdy || 10:44 || @jasongraham99 I agree snail mail is powerful with young chn. Nice to snail mail /twitter/ skype in same projet #globalclassroom ||
 * PhoenixSchool || 10:44 || @tashacowdy. I like Edmodo and voicethread for global collaboration. Easy to use.  Also new to Kidblog. #globalclassroom ||
 * murcha || 10:45 || A5 Blogs, skype wallwisher voicethread blackboard collaborate, wikis nings eg #flatclass = favourite tools 4 collaboration #globalclassroom ||
 * Themadkiwi1 || 10:45 || @tashacowdy @jasongraham99 try postcard crossing #globalclassroom ||
 * GregReynoldsTTS || 10:46 || @PhilipBenz #globalclassroom Learning to be comfortable using social media takes work, also learning to accept global observation & feedback ||
 * tashacowdy || 10:46 || VoiceThread is good for pre-writers as it allows then to contribute content and add notes verbally and through photos #globalclassroom ||
 * murcha || 10:47 || Q6 How do you embed global learning in a school's culture? #globalclassroom ||
 * jasongraham99 || 10:48 || @Themadkiwi1 @tashacowdy and check out @Namastececi, @DwyerTeacher Inquiry teapot pretty cool  http://t.co/h9C9CZ0W #globalclassroom ||
 * vanschaijik || 10:48 || @SwayGrantham @murcha @gregreynoldstts Yep- just because we can- does not mean we should #globalclassroom ||
 * jasongraham99 || 10:49 || A6 start with class, school and community connections first #globalclassroom ||

 * tashacowdy || 10:51 || A6 Global learning can start right at the beginning with Kindergarten. Build on as Ss go though the school. #globalclassroom ||
 * GregReynoldsTTS || 10:51 || @SwayGrantham @murcha #globalclassroom Online laws evolving, prudence required, Socialmedia is just another medium we teach how to use ok ||
 * tashacowdy || 10:52 || A6 Teachers need to be global learners before their students can be #globalclassroom ||
 * PhilipBenz || 10:52 || @Themadkiwi1 mentions "The boy who harnssd the wind" - great TED talk, used it in class last year. http://t.co/iinDGcoY #globalclassroom ||
 * jasongraham99 || 10:52 || A6 learning how to make, sustain meaningful connections is key. Starts with those close by. It starts in the early years. #globalclassroom ||
 * jasongraham99 || 10:54 || @Namastececi if you do it again, send it down here! :) @tashacowdy @DwyerTeacher @#globalclassroom ||
 * tashacowdy || 10:54 || 7a. Is it important that all students contribute in a project? #globalclassroom ||
 * PhilipBenz || 10:54 || The tools for #globalclassroom projects are many, as are the obstacles. How to convince colleagues that 21st century skills are key? ||
 * jacbalen || 10:55 || Hi all. Just woke up. No brain yet. Reading and retweeting. #globalclassroom ||
 * PhilipBenz || 10:55 || As long as #globalclassroom projects remain the province of isolated innovators, they won't change Education as a whole: we must reach out! ||
 * vanschaijik || 10:56 || @tashacowdy 7a Sometimes students /teachers need to connect before they contribute #globalclassroom ||
 * jacbalen || 10:56 || RT @tashacowdy: A6 Teachers need to be global learners before their students can be #globalclassroom ||
 * tashacowdy || 10:56 || Q7. Is it important that all students contribute in a project? #globalclassroom ||
 * jasongraham99 || 10:56 || @Themadkiwi1 this is an issue here. We try to make connections to local (needy) communities, is this even realistic?   #globalclassroom ||
 * jasongraham99 || 10:57 || @Themadkiwi1 so the kids do something that makes everyone 'feel good' service. Good is done. BUT I dont see it sustaining #globalclassroom ||
 * murcha || 10:57 || A7a Preferable all students contribute 2 project but not always possible - skill level interest shown age shld b considered #globalclassroom ||
 * PhilipBenz || 10:57 || @jasongraham99 By "it starts in the early years" do you mean the elmntry clssrm? IMHO, #globalclassroom prjcts are important at all levels. ||
 * PhoenixSchool || 10:58 || @tashacowdy. Only been doing it 3 years, but never had anyone not willing. Instead they can't wait for each new connection.#globalclassroom ||
 * murcha || 10:58 || Shall we finish on q8 What are some of the key ingredients of successful global collaboration? Time nearly up #globalclassroom ||
 * GregReynoldsTTS || 10:59 || @murcha: eg #flatclass = favourite tools 4 collaboration #globalclassroom.  Any schools using Second Life or similar? ||
 * jasongraham99 || 10:59 || @PhilipBenz for sure any level. I think the earlier we make and live those connections the better. #globalclassroom ||
 * GregReynoldsTTS || 10:59 || RT @vanschaijik: @murcha embed global learning #globalclassroom -teachers onboard eg: http://t.co/l1NtxqlJ ||
 * PhilipBenz || 11:00 || Q7: Getting all stdnts to participate in #globalclassroom is key: otherwise I feel like I'm lvng some behind! They all need to be involved. ||
