 * PhoenixSchool || 19:07 || @mariacolussa Good reason for introducing our youngers to the global world early. They are so curious. #globalclassroom ||
 * tori1074 || 19:07 || @mariacolussa What kind of topics do they come up with? #globalclassroom ||
 * learningmurd || 19:08 || What online communities and projects do early childhood teachers find useful for connecting and collaborating globally? #globalclassroom ||
 * renzii || 19:08 || From sunny Trinidad, Hullo everyone! #globalclassroom ||
 * mattBgomez || 19:08 || @tori1074 @learningmurd Matt here from Texas. I teach Kindergarten #globalclassroom ||
 * learningmurd || 19:09 || I am into year 2 of #skypeplay - connecting k's in small group settings. #globalclassroom ||
 * tori1074 || 19:09 || @renzii Hi and welcome. :-) #globalclassroom ||
 * renzii || 19:10 || Commonalities were easiest- the Christmas around the world was a big hit. #globalclassroom ||
 * mattBgomez || 19:10 || I have found twitter to be the best way for my class to connect although we have used Skype, Google Docs and Voicethread #globalclassroom ||
 * KLirenman || 19:10 || Hi #globalclassroom because of a nasty fall on Thursday I'm here to join in on the fun. #bodynotwantingtorideabikethisam ||
 * learningmurd || 19:10 || I think @tashacowdy said it is pretty easy to connect globally. But making it meaningful, building relationships is harder #globalclassroom ||
 * tori1074 || 19:11 || RT @renzii: Commonalities were easiest- the Christmas around the world was a big hit. #globalclassroom ||

 * PhoenixSchool || 19:11 || @learningmurd FlatStanley, flatclassroom BuildingBridges, kidblog, edmodo. Want to add twitter #globalclassroom ||
 * tori1074 || 19:12 || @KLirenman Hi Karen. Hope you are recovering from the fall. Ouch. #globalclassroom ||
 * mariacolussa || 19:12 || #globalclassroom children are curious:being from Argentina topics may range: Messi, football, food, currency, daily routines, tornadoes,.. ||
 * bcaunter1 || 19:12 || RT @learningmurd: I am into year 2 of #skypeplay - connecting k's in small group settings. #globalclassroom ||
 * learningmurd || 19:12 || I think getting your feet wet with big projects is best for newbies - quick and dirty but can lead to more #globalclassroom ||
 * renzii || 19:13 || What's in our lunchboxes. What we see outside our windows. Voicethreads & Google presentations. #globalclassroom ||
 * tori1074 || 19:13 || We tweet with other classrooms and Skype too. Last year I did Google Docs. Will try to add it this year too. #globalclassroom ||

 * mattBgomez || 19:13 || Children love to learn from other kids. That is where I have seen the power of being connected. #globalclassroom ||
 * KLirenman || 19:13 || Connecting with an expert is a powerful way for students to learn. We connect for many different reasons. #globalclassroom ||
 * learningmurd || 19:14 || #globalclassroom with young children the weather and the animals that live nearby are huge fav. Easy to connect to ||

 * tori1074 || 19:14 || RT @PhoenixSchool: #globalclassroom Mystery Skypes are good for a beginning connection to build on. ||
 * KLirenman || 19:14 || Some of our connections are quick, some build deeper stronger relationships. It isn't one or the other for us. #globalclassroom ||
 * tori1074 || 19:15 || @MrsSchmidtB4 Hi Tina. Thanks for joining us today. :-) #globalclassroom ||
 * learningmurd || 19:15 || @MrsSchmidtB4 hi Tina :) #globalclassroom ||
 * MrsSchmidtB4 || 19:16 || @PhoenixSchool I agree that Mystery Skypes are an easy way to get started!  #globalclassroom ||
 * learningmurd || 19:16 || @KLirenman I agree, as with anything,  balance is key #globalclassroom ||
 * mattBgomez || 19:16 || Don't fret too much over making the connections match curric, the connection itself is the learning #globalclassroom ||
 * tori1074 || 19:16 || What strategies or tools do you use in aiding young children with global projects? #globalclassroom ||
 * KLirenman || 19:16 || Ah, forgot the #globalclassroom When we connect as a whole class my students know if they need to walk away they can. #selfregulation ||
 * tori1074 || 19:17 || RT @mattBgomez: Don't fret too much over making the connections match curric, the connection itself is the learning #globalclassroom ||
 * PhoenixSchool || 19:17 || @KLirenman: Connecting with an expert is a powerful way for students to learn. We connect for many different reasons. #globalclassroom ||
 * mattBgomez || 19:17 || Sometimes it is just fun. Like tic-tac-toe live via google doc with @JonFines class http://t.co/CrMYhsaOjb #globalclassroom ||
 * KLirenman || 19:17 || @mattBgomez Shear act of connecting hits the listening /speaking aspects of most curriculum #globalclassroom ||
 * learningmurd || 19:18 || Thanks for your stories and advice for K-3 teachers interested in exploring the possibilities of global connections. More? #globalclassroom ||
 * KLirenman || 19:18 || My students have connected over blogs. As a class we "blog around the world" and visit other blogs and leave them comments. #globalclassroom ||
 * mattBgomez || 19:18 || RT @KLirenman: Connecting with an expert is a powerful way for students to learn. We connect for many different reasons. #globalclassroom ||
 * learningmurd || 19:18 || (Psssst I am trying to make sure we have the guiding questions thrown in.  YOu guys got ahead of me) #keeners #globalclassroom ||
 * renzii || 19:19 || @KLiremnman if you sign into Tweetchat with #globalclassroom, they'll add it 4 u every time. #globalclassroom ||
 * tori1074 || 19:19 || @KLirenman @mattBgomez Yup. It also hits the digital collaboration piece that is now required in Common Core standards. #globalclassroom ||
 * ivon_ehd1 || 19:19 || RT @mattBgomez: Children love to learn from other kids. That is where I have seen the power of being connected. #globalclassroom ||
 * mattBgomez || 19:19 || My class tweeted with meteorologist from Dallas news channels. Powerful experience http://t.co/Ze3NUcQtbp #globalclassroom ||
 * KLirenman || 19:19 || Now my students independently read other students blogs and leave them comments. #globalclassroom ||
 * Michelle_Horst || 19:19 || RT @KLirenman: Connecting with an expert is a powerful way for students to learn. We connect for many different reasons. #globalclassroom ||
 * learningmurd || 19:20 || I think in #ECE #globalclassroom s curricular outcomes are easy to cover.  SO much oral lang, turn taking, questioning ||
 * PhoenixSchool || 19:20 || @mattBgomez #globalclassroom Fun connections are great but ultimately we need to help them learn how to collaborate. Personal challenge. ||
 * renzii || 19:20 || My older chicks are continue to be thrilled by comments from 'strangers' we meet online! #globalclassroom ||
 * mattBgomez || 19:20 || @learningmurd you can always #blameMatt #globalclassroom ||
 * MrsBaldi2 || 19:20 || RT @mattBgomez: Don't fret too much over making the connections match curric, the connection itself is the learning #globalclassroom ||
 * renzii || 19:21 || Comments, if done right, lead to ongoing conversations. #globalclassroom ||
 * MrsSchmidtB4 || 19:21 || We had fun playing a Guess the Number game via Skype http://t.co/AX6PRbexXU #globalclassroom ||
 * learningmurd || 19:21 || @PhoenixSchool this leads to Q: How do we ensure young children have skills and understanding to participate in a #globalclassroom? ||
 * tori1074 || 19:21 || @learningmurd yes. The shift towards Common Core is towards this. More collaboration. Hope powers that be remember this. #globalclassroom ||
 * sfreking || 19:22 || RT @mattBgomez: Children love to learn from other kids. That is where I have seen the power of being connected. #globalclassroom ||
 * learningmurd || 19:23 || What did you do prior to connecting to get #ece brains ready for a #globalclassroom ||
 * learningmurd || 19:23 || . RT @PhoenixSchool: @mattBgomez #globalclassroom ultimately we need to help them learn how to collaborate.  Personal challenge. ||
 * KLirenman || 19:24 || @learningmurd We talked about the world, what we want the world to know about us. What we need to keep private too. #globalclassroom ||
 * learningmurd || 19:24 || RT @mattBgomez: @learningmurd we show them the value of the connections so they will want to be a part of them. #globalclassroom ||
 * tori1074 || 19:24 || @learningmurd We usually talk about how we will connect. Talk about safety, who we might talk to, and tool being used. #globalclassroom ||
 * MrsSchmidtB4 || 19:25 || @learningmurd Need 2 practice appropriate behavior during Skype & global projects. Mistakes become teachable moments. #globalclassroom ||
 * learningmurd || 19:25 || I was excited to have a snail mail connection first - but it fell thru. I think tangible reasons to connect are important #globalclassroom ||
 * PhoenixSchool || 19:26 || @learningmurd #globalclassroom Think it partly comes from projects teacher chooses and models w students, how integrated int2 curriculum. ||
 * KLirenman || 19:26 || As much as we want global connections connections in your own school or community is a great place to start too. #globalclassroom ||
 * learningmurd || 19:26 || Is an #ece #globalclassroom different than an older student cohort? ||
 * renzii || 19:26 || RT @KLirenman: We talked about the world, what we want the world to know about us. What we need to keep private too. #globalclassroom ||
 * tori1074 || 19:27 || RT @learningmurd: Is an #ece #globalclassroom different than an older student cohort? ||
 * renzii || 19:27 || RT @MrsSchmidtB4: Need 2 practice appropriate behavior during Skype & global projects. Mistakes become teachable moments. #globalclassroom ||
 * MrsBaldi2 || 19:27 || @learningmurd must keep it authentic too. #globalclassroom ||
 * learningmurd || 19:27 || @KLirenman We actually skied with our buddy class in our building first. It was kinda hilarious #globalclassroom ||
 * KLirenman || 19:27 || We have a connection with local classes in our district. Met those children face to face. Huge power in F2F connections. #globalclassroom ||
 * mattBgomez || 19:28 || @PhoenixSchool it is the opposite in my class, our connections lead to the projects. I see twitter as inquiry curric #globalclassroom ||
 * renzii || 19:28 || @learningmurd We tried this, but unfortunately time lag killed interest. #globalclassroom ||
 * KLirenman || 19:28 || @mattBgomez @PhoenixSchool Maybe a bit of both? #globalclassroom ||
 * learningmurd || 19:28 || .MT @mattBgomez: @PhoenixSchool our (global) connections lead to the projects. I see twitter as inquiry curric #globalclassroom ||
 * PhoenixSchool || 19:28 || @learningmurd @KLirenman Used this technique as well when learning Edmodo so we could learn how to have conversations. #globalclassroom ||
 * tori1074 || 19:29 || @KLirenman That's why I like Skype. They see their friends. #globalclassroom ||
 * renzii || 19:29 || Going to use Edmodo groups next time for safe, secure and more immediate contact. #globalclassroom ||
 * learningmurd || 19:30 || @renzii my hope is to connect 4 classes in similar timezones - then snail mail, twitter, Skype to build a relationship #globalclassroom ||
 * mattBgomez || 19:30 || @KLirenman @PhoenixSchool yes to both, whatever works for the class is best. I just don't think a "plan" is required #globalclassroom ||
 * edtechcarmen || 19:30 || For us global connections have become an essential part of what we do. Hawaii is isolated but being a #globalclassroom connects us. ||
 * PhoenixSchool || 19:30 || @KLirenman @mattBgomez Absolutely. Like the way you build connections  into curriculum. Surrey teachers do amazing things.#globalclassroom ||
 * tori1074 || 19:31 || I think it depends on your class. Sometimes we need to adjust how we connect. Some yrs. snail mail 1st, some last. #globalclassroom ||
 * learningmurd || 19:31 || @edtechcarmen that is an important distinction - "isolation" is reduced in a #globalclassroom ||
 * edtechcarmen || 19:31 || @renzii #globalclassroom have used Edmodo to foster deeper relationships with other classes. It's amazing. :-) ||
 * KLirenman || 19:32 || @PhoenixSchool We are very fortunate to work in #sd36learn They understand the power and authenticity that comes with this. #globalclassroom ||
 * MrsSchmidtB4 || 19:32 || We enjoy collaborating w/one class all year via Flat Stanley, Edmodo and/or blogging. Use Skype as year end celebration. #globalclassroom ||
 * learningmurd || 19:32 || it looks like emodo is on my #learnit list - I keep putting it off #globalclassroom ||
 * PhoenixSchool || 19:32 || @mattBgomez Agree. Build on what happens. Had great project on Fairies based on research being done by UK blogging partner. #globalclassroom ||
 * renzii || 19:33 || Would love to have year long connections, but finding partners is difficult. #globalclassroom ||
 * KLirenman || 19:33 || I have stdnts who connect 1:1 to read to an adult, or to exchange math problems. Authentic connections #globalclassroom So many ways to do. ||
 * mariacolussa || 19:33 || @MrsSchmidtB4 #globalclassroom I like this idea! ||
 * tori1074 || 19:33 || RT @renzii: Would love to have year long connections, but finding partners is difficult. #globalclassroom ||
 * PhoenixSchool || 19:33 || @learningmurd @edtechcarmen #globalclassroom.  In an intetesting way we are all 'isolated' behind our classroom walls.  Need to flatten. ||
 * KLirenman || 19:34 || @tori1074 @learningmurd We had stuffed gingerbread sent around our school district. #globalclassroom ||
 * learningmurd || 19:34 || I found connecting globally easy because I am connected globally. #globalclassroom how do you encourage reluctant ones? ||
 * MrsSchmidtB4 || 19:34 || @tori1074 That is where Global Classroom can help! #globalclassroom ||
 * mattBgomez || 19:34 || My class have been connected the last three years and every year has been slightly different. Plan, adjust and adapt. #globalclassroom ||
 * renzii || 19:34 || @learningmurd You will not regret it. Think of it as a safe secure intro to facebook & Twitter. #EdmodoRocks #globalclassroom ||
 * KLirenman || 19:34 || @jennivanrees sent out Flat Stanleys and created a blog for them so we all shared there. #globalclassroom ||
 * mariacolussa || 19:35 || @KLirenman #globalclassroom didn't know about this reading thing who do they read to? ||
 * learningmurd || 19:35 || @renzii I agree! #skypeplay was designed to connect people looking for other people. But it still takes being brave #globalclassroom ||
 * edtechcarmen || 19:35 || #globalclassroom @SkypeClassroom is a great way to find connections. So many classes out there looking for people to connect with! ||
 * KLirenman || 19:35 || @mariacolussa We work with a former university student in Sask. She joins are community read as another person to read to. #globalclassroom ||
 * mattBgomez || 19:35 || A great first step to a global classroom is a connected teacher. Can't imagine doing what I do without my PLN #globalclassroom ||
 * PhoenixSchool || 19:36 || #globalclassroom One of my frustrations is when class signs up as part of project and never follows through. Kids don't understand why. ||
 * tori1074 || 19:36 || Yes how do we encourage reluctant educators or those with limited Internet access? Ideas? #globalclassroom ||
 * SkypeClassroom || 19:36 || RT @edtechcarmen: #globalclassroom @SkypeClassroom is a great way to find connections. So many classes out there looking for people to conn ||
 * KLirenman || 19:36 || @mariacolussa I'd think if I tweeted out that i was looking for people to listen to my kidlets read others would do it too. #globalclassroom ||
 * mariacolussa || 19:36 || @MrsSchmidtB4 @tori1074 #globalclassroom there should be a place like this: "You want to connect, this is the place to do it". ||
 * MrsSchmidtB4 || 19:36 || I will be running the Edmodo Pen Pal Project again next year. http://t.co/XqnHn6lldj #globalclassroom ||
 * tori1074 || 19:37 || @PhoenixSchool That is true. I had that happen to me. I found others to connect with though. #globalclassroom ||

 * KLirenman || 19:40 || @PhoenixSchool Yup! I find if I've connected with their teacher first it leads to much better success. #globalclassroom ||

 * PhoenixSchool || 19:43 || #globalclassroom Global collaborations require level of commitment. Sometimes people sign on because thing to do, then surprised. ||
 * beachcat11 || 19:45 || @PhoenixSchool Yep - my experience too. Hope project partners can honour their commitment. #globalclassroom ||
 * tori1074 || 19:45 || @PhoenixSchool Yes. Or other things come up. I know I've been late getting my own Google Doc Project going this yr. #globalclassroom ||

 * PhoenixSchool || 19:46 || @ChristaElder #globalclassroom  GREAT! Could you share your expert with us?  We've been studying caves.  Would make a great connection. ||
 * ChristaElder || 19:47 || @KLirenman I skype with my sister first, for my class to practice. She recites the alphabet backwards, and they love it! #globalclassroom ||
 * learningmurd || 19:47 || But yes to FAcetime - if a teacher has a cellphone, FaceTime seems easier than skyping #globalclassroom ||
 * KLirenman || 19:47 || @learningmurd Snail mail! Create something, mail it on, they add, mail it on etc. My students are working on #globalclassroom scrapbook. ||

 * KLirenman || 19:50 || @mariacolussa In the case of the Global Scrapbook YES! The scrapbook is travelling around the world. #globalclassroom ||
 * tori1074 || 19:50 || RT @learningmurd: I think a #globalclassroom gives new meaning to the defn of screen time. It shows what powerful communication can occur ||
 * KLirenman || 19:51 || @mariacolussa My class lets me know when they think we should share something with the world via twitter #globalclassroom ||
 * KLirenman || 19:52 || @mariacolussa But they also share their learning on their own (I approve tweet). Right now in math they tweet to #mathstory #globalclassroom ||
 * learningmurd || 19:52 || @PhoenixSchool @KLirenman yes #kinderchat might have a registry cc @hechternacht Some classes like their privacy and DM it #globalclassroom ||
 * LoraKrantz || 19:52 || RT @mattBgomez: Don't fret too much over making the connections match curric, the connection itself is the learning #globalclassroom ||
 * KLirenman || 19:53 || My class follows few although but MANY more follow us. Typically we follow classes we learn with. Special people too. #globalclassroom ||
