 * 01:07:33 || PanaAsavavatana || If you are just joining us here's Q1: Why should we explore ways to share, connect, and collaborate globally? #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:07:39 || heidiamorgan || A!- We need to help our kids understand others and learn about others in a structured way #globalclassroom ||

 * 01:08:03 || LParisi || RT @heidiamorgan: A!- We need to help our kids understand others and learn about others in a structured way #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:08:41 || heidiamorgan || A1 - If we don't show kids what is out there and what is possible, they may never know #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:08:42 || PanaAsavavatana || @RobynThiessen absolutely, it also challenges us in our practice and helps us to see things through different perspectives! #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:09:07 || heidiamorgan || @RobynThiessen I could not agree more, I feel the same way #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:09:19 || PanaAsavavatana || @heidiamorgan so true, expand their view of the world beyond the classroom! #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:09:28 || LParisi || @RobynThiessen How did I ever teach w/out knocking down the walls 1st.Collab is way to go. 30 yrs in and still lovin' it! #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:09:43 || RobynThiessen || Q1 my students have been able to learn with and from so many fabulous folks! #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:09:52 || vicarella13 || #globalclassroom A1 It prepares them for living as a global citizen. It makes them realize how we are all connected. ||
 * 01:10:05 || LParisi || I have a question. What do you think holds back educators from going global? #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:10:19 || jeremyinscho || Hey #globalclassroom Jeremy from Nanaimo, BC. Grade 6/7 Quickly catching up on the chat so far ||
 * 01:10:36 || love2runnteach || Evening, Colleen fro Delaware #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:10:43 || RobynThiessen || @LParisi Exactly, there is no going back, once you go flat there is no going back!!! #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:11:13 || RobynThiessen || @jeremyinscho Hi Jeremy! Great to "see" you again! #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:11:15 || PanaAsavavatana || @LParisi great question, I think a lot has to do with fears! I was scared of what people would think! It's intimidating! #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:11:20 || dubioseducator || #globalclassroom Faige teach K in L.A. My Ks know that many ideas I share w/them come from my #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:11:43 || PanaAsavavatana || @dubioseducator welcome Faige! Good to see you here! #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:11:43 || vicarella13 || #globalclassroom A1 Makes learning much more exciting! ||
 * 01:11:51 || heidiamorgan || @LParisi fear of the unknown, fear of technology, and the inability to give up control #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:11:54 || jeremyinscho || A1: Our circle of influence is no longer bounded by geography, there is so much to learn from near and afar. Why not! #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:11:54 || LParisi || @dubioseducator Do you know Pana? She teaches k too.#globalclassroom ||

 * 01:13:04 || heidiamorgan || @PanaAsavavatana @LParisi I think people are also worried about what might happen during a chat too #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:13:15 || PanaAsavavatana || @kathycassidy Couldn't agree more! #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:13:24 || LParisi || @heidiamorgan I couldn't do proj w/out giving up control. Working w others means not always being in charge.#globalclassroom ||
 * 01:13:47 || RobynThiessen || Hi Kathy and Faige! #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:13:58 || PanaAsavavatana || Ok so Q2: What does global collaboration look like in practice? #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:14:20 || LParisi || @heidiamorgan So how do we deal with the unexpected during collaboration? I have many examples of issues. #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:14:41 || RobynThiessen || @jeremyinscho Oh you will love all these global educators, they are an amazing bunch! #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:15:00 || heidiamorgan || @LParisi exactly i take pics during chats and monitor but the ss run it from starting the call to ending when we skype/gho #globalclassroom ||

 * 01:15:25 || PanaAsavavatana || @heidiamorgan @LParisi yes, I have bee trying convincing people to join Twitter, I think it helps to have a mentor too #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:15:38 || PanaAsavavatana || RT @dubioseducator: @PanaAsavavatana @LParisi Yes through #kinderchat How's that for #globalclassroom ||

 * 01:16:30 || glenhansman || Hi #globalclassroom -- Glen from Vancouver, BC. Intermediate. ||
 * 01:16:39 || MissAsKinder || So, I've stopped blogging in favor of Twitter. That is a great example of the power of building up your PLN! #globalclassroom ||

 * 01:16:57 || kathycassidy || @PanaAsavavatana Global collaboration looks different in every case. From blog comments to F2F Skype to coll. projects #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:16:58 || RobynThiessen || Q2 @ICT_Integrator 's Travelling Rhinos Project rocked our world! #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:17:05 || PanaAsavavatana || RT @LParisi: Don't forget mentors can be found on the Global Classroom wiki. http://t.co/KOXuYTytD7 #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:17:13 || LParisi || @glenhansman Hi Glen. Welcome. #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:17:19 || heidiamorgan || A2 - technology in action, excitement, learning, connecting, active, FUN #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:17:50 || jeremyinscho || A2: We're just getting started with blogging, and hope to go global with it shortly #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:17:55 || LParisi || @shirky17 Now that's just sad. Especially when CCSS in US tell us to go global. #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:17:55 || PanaAsavavatana || @MissAsKinder Twitter is really great for global collaboration, but blogging can still be an effective platform too :) #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:17:58 || dubioseducator || #globalclassroom PD last Monday. Edcamp model I shared what I learned about #geniushour and the power of Twitter ||
 * 01:18:02 || heidiamorgan || @PanaAsavavatana @LParisi joining is not the problem, it is participating #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:18:11 || kathycassidy || @MissAsKinder That is interesting. I see them as two very different spaces. #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:18:22 || dubioseducator || “@PanaAsavavatana: A2: Just check out Flick-it-on! http://t.co/ty6fINgSct and other awesome projects happening at #globalclassroom!” @myen ||

 * 01:19:21 || LParisi || @kathycassidy @MissAsKinder As do I. Twitter gets me quick answers and connections.Blogs are a way to delve into ideas. #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:19:23 || PanaAsavavatana || A2: @skypeclassroom also offers ways 2 connect with experts & other classes https://t.co/42IbXrs87o #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:19:36 || MissAsKinder || @kathycassidy I can see that. My main reason for blogging was to find like-minded people, but Twitter has done that for me #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:19:41 || heidiamorgan || @LParisi @shirky17 i know when we mystery skype we inference, research, make predictions, speak, listen all CCSS #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:20:06 || love2runnteach || RT @PanaAsavavatana: A2: @skypeclassroom also offers ways 2 connect with experts & other classes https://t.co/42IbXrs87o #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:20:20 || MissAsKinder || @LParisi @kathycassidy I see your point! I guess I just struggled with finding ideas to blog about as a 2nd yr teacher! #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:20:27 || dubioseducator || @kathycassidy @PanaAsavavatana And used for different reasons. But goal to be connected 2 #globalclassroom Think start small first ||
 * 01:20:33 || PanaAsavavatana || @heidiamorgan @LParisi Yes agreed! which is why having someone mentoring you and guiding you through the process can help #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:20:35 || heidiamorgan || great connections can be made on #edmodo too #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:20:40 || kathycassidy || @LParisi @MissAsKinder I think it was @klirenman who said Twitter is where we learn, blog is where we show learning. #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:21:27 || RobynThiessen || @heidiamorgan #mysteryskype also causes a ton of critical thnking skills! #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:21:29 || MissAsKinder || @kathycassidy Hmm, I like that! Sounds about right. #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:21:36 || kathycassidy || @MissAsKinder @LParisi Ah. You meant yourself, not your classroom. Twitter is a great place to connect! #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:22:12 || LParisi || @MissAsKinder @kathycassidy Being online can be intimidating.Hard to compete.So let it go and just share. :) #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:22:31 || LParisi || @kathycassidy @MissAsKinder I meant both me and my students. #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:22:37 || uberbabyboomer || RT @LParisi: Don't forget mentors can be found on the Global Classroom wiki. http://t.co/KOXuYTytD7 #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:22:38 || heidiamorgan || @PanaAsavavatana @LParisi Yes starting with a small project is good test the waters and learn to swim before you jump in #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:22:41 || PanaAsavavatana || @RobynThiessen @heidiamorgan Absolutely! @skypeclassroom has lots of lessons & projects such as #mysteryskype for #globaled #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:23:16 || LParisi || Q3: How can we help teachers overcome the challenges and obstacles they face as they become connected educators? #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:23:46 || PanaAsavavatana || A3: ASK QUESTIONS and share experiences, someone out there probably has experienced something similar and can offer advice. #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:23:54 || RobynThiessen || we connected with a class in Uganda yesterday, to learn African dance! #sopowerful #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:23:58 || dubioseducator || @kathycassidy @MissAsKinder Blogging helps me reflect abt teaching, learning &life. Twitter I connect w/others share exp #globalclassroom ||

 * 01:25:54 || heidiamorgan || A3 offer to connect with them without ss first then w ss - share/plan questions b4 connecting - structure is good #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:26:11 || PanaAsavavatana || @RobynThiessen yes, baby steps, get used to one thing at a time is important to keep from becoming overwhelmed! #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:26:23 || vicarella13 || @LParisi #globalclassroom very true. FAIL= First attempt in Learning. Read that somewhere on twitter recently. ||
 * 01:26:26 || LParisi || I have had to backtrack on proj because we forgot to let Ss get to know each other before working. #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:26:27 || RobynThiessen || A3 timezone conversions can be challenging at times! #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:26:35 || MissAsKinder || @RobynThiessen Oh, that is way fun! Was it a Skype call?? I'm sure they were enthralled! #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:26:51 || heidiamorgan || @LParisi Not getting correct time zones due to daylight savings time #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:26:57 || love2runnteach || teaching google hangout to staff at mtg next month, spliting ts into 2 groups in 2 classroom to model #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:27:13 || LParisi || @heidiamorgan DST is the bane of my classroom!!! #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:27:20 || RobynThiessen || @MissAsKinder yes, we use Skype several times a week! #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:27:28 || PanaAsavavatana || @RobynThiessen I've had that experience joining #kinderchat 's Play Project as no one from my region signed up! :( #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:27:46 || RobynThiessen || RT @LParisi @heidiamorgan DST is the bane of my classroom!!! #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:28:19 || PanaAsavavatana || @love2runnteach google hangout is also a good option because you can share your screen with other end! #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:28:32 || LParisi || I have had to remove Ss from docs & Edmodo due to disrespectful behavior.When they're out for a week, they learn quickly. #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:28:34 || MissAsKinder || @RobynThiessen Too cool. I bet Skype is blocked by our proxy server. Doubtful that it would be removed! #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:28:36 || heidiamorgan || @LParisi once a ss made me give him my phone to show me how to use the world clock for this - duh he said #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:28:46 || RobynThiessen || I've learned that deeper student/class connections are important! #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:29:11 || love2runnteach || Agree! RT @vicarella13: @LParisi #globalclassroom very true. FAIL= First attempt in Learning. Read that somewhere on twitter recently. ||
 * 01:29:26 || pammoran || @RobynThiessen that's true about time zones although we've had some with Oz educators by flexing schl schedules a bit #globalclassroom ||

 * 01:29:34 || LParisi || @RobynThiessen Yes. It definitely helps to make collaborations go better. #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:29:35 || RobynThiessen || @MissAsKinder I asked our district to drop all our firewalls, they did! #globalclassroom ||

 * 01:29:52 || heidiamorgan || @LParisi I set them to read only on #edmodo = stinks for you to read and not be able to comment = never a problem again #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:30:05 || PanaAsavavatana || @RobynThiessen It is important, deep connection with a few classes better than limited connections with a lot of classes #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:30:25 || MissAsKinder || @RobynThiessen I'm thinking that would be difficult at my K-12 school. The high school has 1-1 laptops. I &lt;3 Skype tho #globalclassroom ||

 * 01:31:53 || shirky17 || @heidiamorgan @LParisi yes..."but i just need to make sure the standards are covered for my teacher eval" #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:32:34 || LParisi || @shirky17 @heidiamorgan It is my goal this year to ignore covering standards,knowing that I do just that with all my proj. #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:32:52 || RobynThiessen || @shirky17 oh, you "cover" more than you ever thought possible! #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:33:03 || LParisi || @shirky17 @heidiamorgan I set up projects specifically to meet curric and work from there. #globalclassroom ||

 * 01:34:36 || shirky17 || @RobynThiessen #globalclassroom i believe you cover a BUNCH of soft standards and learning ideas as well...try to convince 95% of the rest ||
 * 01:34:50 || LParisi || I am starting a new proj next month for data collection. Covering math,science, & social studies. http://t.co/rKAcyTMawr  #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:35:23 || PanaAsavavatana || Anyone in schools that don't see the value of #globaled yet? How can we help to convince them/move them forward? #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:35:51 || RobynThiessen || @LParisi what are SLO's? #globalclassroom ||

 * 01:39:04 || gwen_rumberger || @PanaAsavavatana I believe many of our teachers are oblivious to the opportunities - Including me at times. #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:39:12 || KLirenman || @PanaAsavavatana Thanks! Still decompressing from my Tedx day. This topic is connecting right? #globalclassroom I LIKE connecting! ||
 * 01:39:16 || heidiamorgan || @RobynThiessen Mine too! It is so good to be supported! My admin's child is in my class too #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:39:43 || PanaAsavavatana || @vicarella13 So true! I guess there's always the old fashioned class pen pals too :) Takes a bit longer but still valuable #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:40:16 || RobynThiessen || I am always sharing our why and use ISTE standards as my guide! #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:40:38 || KLirenman || @vicarella13 @PanaAsavavatana Missed this conversation but very little tech is needed to connect with todays mobile phones! #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:40:47 || LParisi || Q4:Where can we find intern'tl connections, & access prof devel to help with global collaboration across the curric? #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:40:57 || PanaAsavavatana || @KLirenman Yes it is! Glad you still could make it! Connect away my friend! #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:41:25 || dubioseducator || @PanaAsavavatana @vicarella13 Also permission from parents vis a vie images of their children. Have that one figured out. #globalclassroom ||

 * 01:41:54 || vicarella13 || @KLirenman #globalclassroom Very true! But not many grade two's have mobile phones in my class ;) ||
 * 01:42:00 || PanaAsavavatana || @gwen_rumberger it's true, it helps when someone in the school can help show others what is out there, build awareness! #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:42:07 || RobynThiessen || A4 umm. #globalclassroom folks! ||
 * 01:42:18 || heidiamorgan || @dubioseducator @PanaAsavavatana @vicarella13 most ss should be covered with media release forms #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:42:23 || KLirenman || @vicarella13 You only need one (i.e. the teacher's perhaps?) to get a connection started. #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:42:36 || sj_bartlett || “@RobynThiessen: we connected with a class in Uganda to learn African dance! #globalclassroom”. @RachelleSavoie thinking of u in Ghana!! ||
 * 01:42:51 || LParisi || A4: I have met some of my best collaborators through other collaborators. #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:42:51 || RobynThiessen || A4 @SkypeClassroom has a tone of fabulous connection for us to make! #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:43:17 || PanaAsavavatana || A4: Look at other educators blogs, leave comments. Blog your own experiences and ideas to share with others #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:43:39 || vicarella13 || #globalclassroom A4: Twitter. Participating in the student blogging challenge has brought more visitors to our class blog. Edcamps. ||

 * 01:43:48 || KLirenman || @LParisi Exactly, put yourself out there, and meet other people doing the same thing then the network continues to grow. #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:43:57 || heidiamorgan || A4 skype in the classroom, mystery location calls, twitter, facebook, conferences #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:44:49 || RobynThiessen || A4 offer to present at workshops to help spread the word! #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:44:51 || vicarella13 || @PanaAsavavatana #globalclassroom Blogs are awesome! ||
 * 01:44:51 || pammoran || @sj_bartlett that sounds so cool .. to learn dance like that @RobynThiessen @RachelleSavoie #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:44:57 || KLirenman || @gwen_rumberger @PanaAsavavatana I would agree. We don't know what we don't know until we share what we know with others. #globalclassroom ||

 * 01:45:52 || heidiamorgan || @RobynThiessen I shared some today at #denvirtcon lots of connections made #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:46:14 || RobynThiessen || @pammoran We had glitches but did learn and are going to do it again #possibilitesareendless #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:46:23 || pammoran || @bkayser11 has live-streamed kids sharing their stories aloud with kids in our district and in other parts of the world #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:46:28 || KLirenman || When you're open to connect with others, you'll put the time in to connect with others. The connections happen. #globalclassroom ||
 * 01:46:33 || heidiamorgan || @ncarroll24 epals is great for connections - just don't like when teachers and classes flake out and quit #globalclassroom ||

 * 01:51:36 || KLirenman || @LParisi @RobynThiessen and I are very lucky in our district when it comes to access and support of Innovation. #globalclassroom ||

 * 01:56:45 || vicarella13 || @RobynThiessen #globalclassroom I know. Very frustrating. But I am optimistic! I also won't take no for an answer ;) ||
 * 01:56:49 || EMSCarlson || @vicarella13 Ask if you can be a pilot site for trying it. That is always the first step. #globalclassroom ||
