 * MauiMickey || 18:01 || RT @RentonL: @MauiMickey I wonder if any of our other #kinderchat tweeps will be joining today? #globalclassroom :) ||
 * RentonL || 18:02 || I think we should just start with our first question and people will join as they see the #globalclassroom flow! :) ||
 * RentonL || 18:02 || @MauiMickey Awesome! I've got 23 "curious" and excited Gr 3s ... we've just started blogging together this week!@ #globalclassroom ||
 * SwayGrantham || 18:02 || RT @MauiMickey: For the next hour all my tweets will be dedicated to #globalclassroom chat! ||
 * RentonL || 18:03 || Q1. How do you scaffold global learning from class to world? #globalclassroom ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:03 || Q1 How do you scaffold global learning from class to the world? #globalclassroom ||
 * SwayGrantham || 18:04 || @RentonL I am here #globalclassroom chat, Sway Grantham, uk, year 5 ||
 * RentonL || 18:04 || @MauiMickey Ugh - I HATE when that happens - but - tweetdeck seems a little slow today - love it, though! #globalclassroom ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:04 || @RentonL I can't wait to start blogging with my K's...but that will have to wait until Feb. #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:04 || @MauiMickey Are you doing any blogging with your Ks? Any global projects? #globalclassroom ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:05 || @SwayGrantham Hi Sway! Welcome to #globalclassroom chat :) ||
 * SwayGrantham || 18:05 || @RentonL A1: how about projects such as etwinning or Skype classroom project @SkypeClassroom #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:05 || A1 I think scaffolding looks quite different at different ages and depends on you project as well. #globalclassroom ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:06 || @RentonL Yes! @tashacowdy and I were partnered in K Around the World last year, & this year @jasongraham99 is joining us. #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:06 || @SwayGrantham Woo HOO! Glad you made it safely to the relatives and back onto your computer!!! #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:06 || @MauiMickey Why February? #globalclassroom ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:06 || RT @RentonL: A1 I think scaffolding looks quite different at different ages and depends on you project as well. #globalclassroom ||
 * SwayGrantham || 18:06 || @MauiMickey @rentonl I am currently embarking upon whole school blogging.. A big mission #globalclassroom ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:07 || @RentonL K's aren't ready to blog earlier...too difficult to scaffold blog use AND writing support. #globalclassroom ||
 * poundmaker56 || 18:07 || A1 Definitely getting involved with others online thru Skype, Twitter, Global Read Aloud project #glread12, Edmodo, etc. #globalclassroom ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:07 || @SwayGrantham @rentonl What do you mean by whole school blogging? #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:08 || @SwayGrantham @SkypeClassroom Skype is such a natural & powerful way of extending a global connection beyond the classroom! #globalclassroom ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:08 || @RentonL What kind of global projects are you involved in? #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:08 || @MauiMickey @tashacowdy @jasongraham99 Fantastic! Can you tell us a bit about it? #globalclassroom ||
 * SwayGrantham || 18:08 || @MauiMickey @rentonl trying to get every class throughout the school blogging rather than just mine :) #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:09 || @SwayGrantham @MauiMickey A whole school blogging project sounds goosebumpy! What's the focus? #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:10 || @MauiMickey Can you scaffold it so that it's more teacher "led" in the early stages to begin earlier - gradual release? #globalclassroom :) ||
 * RentonL || 18:10 || @SwayGrantham @MauiMickey That is MAGIC ... I'm the only one in my school ... tons of work ... hard to get buy-in! #globalclassroom ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:10 || @RentonL K Around the World pairs classes fr different locations to tweet and connect w/ each other. http://t.co/yWqBtLKn #globalclassroom ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:11 || @SwayGrantham @rentonl I LOVE that! Mine is the only class blogging so far, too. #globalclassroom ||
 * SwayGrantham || 18:11 || @MauiMickey currently an etwinning proj, 8 countries across Europe sharing what we do in school, hobbies, favourites etc. #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:11 || @MauiMickey Our Gr 3s skype with an NGO - not a pre-designed project - happened naturally out of SS curric - with Peru. #globalclassroom ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:12 || @RentonL It will depend on the developmental stages of my K's. I'm going to try earlier! #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:12 || @MauiMickey There are SO many amazing projects to join if people don't know where to begin - I just never have enough time! #globalclassroom ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:12 || @SwayGrantham Very cool! That is similar to K Around the World. #globalclassroom ||
 * SwayGrantham || 18:12 || @RentonL @mauimickey we're trying for fairness of opportunity, trying to help all chn get involved #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:12 || @MauiMickey What are your system "permissions" like for tweeting and blogging? #globalclassroom ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:13 || @RentonL I am also involved with @learningmurd 's #skypeplay project. #globalclassroom ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:13 || @RentonL Do you mean parent permission, or district tech permission? #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:13 || @MauiMickey @SwayGrantham We only began blogging about our journey last year - so powerful - can't imagine teaching w/o. #globalclassroom ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:14 || @RentonL @SwayGrantham Do you use http://t.co/eh6S8lEG for your student blogs? I think it's fantastic! #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:14 || @SwayGrantham @mauimickey I LOVE that - such POWERFUL learning through these global connections. #globalclassroom ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:14 || RT @RentonL: @SwayGrantham @mauimickey I LOVE that - such POWERFUL learning through these global connections. #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:15 || @MauiMickey I hear you - each group is different. Even w my 3s - it was HIGHLY scaffolded - lots of modelling then release. #globalclassroom ||
 * SwayGrantham || 18:15 || @RentonL @mauimickey yeah me too I started in feb last year. Trying to get it ingrained in a new class ATM #globalclassroom ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:15 || Q2 Is there a "progression" of global collaboration? #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:16 || @MauiMickey @SwayGrantham No - I pilotted a wordpress through my system - love it TOO. #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:16 || @MauiMickey District. #globalclassroom ||
 * SwayGrantham || 18:16 || @MauiMickey we have a Wordpress one for each year group http://t.co/OzU5VmkR last year http://t.co/xrslPWN3 this year #globalclassroom ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:16 || A2 We start with exchanging drawings of each other, tweet together, then send snail mail (I.e. Christmas cards etc.) #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:16 || @MauiMickey @SwayGrantham My students don't individually blog either - they contribute to group posts. #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:17 || @SwayGrantham @MauiMickey LOVE that - can't wait to check it out. Ours is: http://t.co/aWt1vVGp #globalclassroom ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:17 || @RentonL No direction from district. The superintendents and other board members came to see what I was doing last year. #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:18 || Q2. Is there a “progression” of global collaboration? #globalclassroom ||
 * SwayGrantham || 18:18 || @MauiMickey A2: I think the written styles such as blogging/twitter come before those such as voice/video #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:19 || I found it depends on the age of Ss involved - lots of modelling, working together, eatching citizenship, good commenting #globalclassroom ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:19 || @RentonL @SwayGrantham Oh! Ok...I have a class website ( I write ... http://t.co/50OGWyAj ). #globalclassroom ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:19 || @RentonL @SwayGrantham And all of my students will have their own blogs on http://t.co/k2Gw3NLR when they are ready. #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:19 || @MauiMickey Bet they LOVED it! We have huge "permissions" - but that's a GOOD thing since it's global exposure. #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:20 || @MauiMickey Would LOVE to have a class twitter account - powerful learning through connections there ... not yet, tho #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:21 || @MauiMickey @SwayGrantham That is powerful - our project is very focused - building a library in Peru - lots of skyping. #globalclassroom ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:21 || @RentonL My class twitter account is where my #globalclassroom connections started. Everything grew from there. We are @KinderPals ||
 * SwayGrantham || 18:21 || @MauiMickey @rentonl all chn have access to out blogs and can post independently but it's then moderated #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:21 || @MauiMickey @SwayGrantham That would definitely call for a great deal of scaffolding. How do you begin the "training"? #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:22 || @MauiMickey @KinderPals Such a GREAT community to learn from! I learn SO much from these #globalclassroom chats - AND archives! ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:23 || @RentonL @SwayGrantham We start by writing everything by hand on a print-out of Kidblog web page. #globalclassroom #lookslikecomouterscreen ||
 * RentonL || 18:23 || @MauiMickey @KinderPals Are you able to use any technology you want within your system? #globalclassroom ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:23 || @RentonL @SwayGrantham Then I show them how to type in the appropriate spots on the SMARTBoard. #globalclassroom ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:24 || @RentonL No...only what the school district provides, unfortunately. #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:24 || @SwayGrantham @MauiMickey The moderating is SO important - both for posting and for commenting. #globalclassroom ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:24 || MT @RentonL: @MauiMickey Such a GREAT community to learn from! I learn SO much from these #globalclassroom chats - AND archives! ||
 * RentonL || 18:24 || Q3. How does global learning/collaboration differ between younger and older learners? #globalclassroom ||
 * gallit_z || 18:24 || Hi all, noticed you were chatting and thought I would say hi...from Surrey, BC, Canada...started being a #globalclassroom last yr & luv it ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:25 || @RentonL @SwayGrantham Last year it only took one lesson for the kids to get the hang of blogging. Scaffolding after that! #globalclassroom ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:25 || Yes it is! RT @RentonL: @SwayGrantham @MauiMickey The moderating is SO important - both for posting and for commenting. #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:25 || A3 IMO the younger the student the more modelling prior to "release". #globalclassroom ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:25 || RT @RentonL: Q3. How does global learning/collaboration differ between younger and older learners? #globalclassroom ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:26 || Exactly. RT @RentonL: A3 IMO the younger the student the more modelling prior to "release". #globalclassroom ||
 * SwayGrantham || 18:26 || @MauiMickey @rentonl yeah it's the scaffolding that takes time, constant reminders #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:26 || @MauiMickey Would LOVE to tweet - not approved yet - will have to try to pilot. #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:27 || @MauiMickey @SwayGrantham Yes - although each day often provides multiple opportunities for "teachable" moments. #globalclassroom ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:27 || @RentonL Who is stopping you from tweeting? AO's who are afraid? #globalclassroom ||
 * gallit_z || 18:28 || Yes...need to model proper blog entry! I didn't lst yr & then had to go back...but thats ok...I am a learner too #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:28 || @gallit_z Awesome to see you join #globalclassroom today! I LOVE it too! ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:28 || Q4 How do you ensure students have the skills & understanding necessary 2 participate in a global collaboration project? #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:29 || @MauiMickey Just not an approved tool at this point - but - cross your fingers for me - I tweeted our class challenge #globalclassroom (1/2) ||
 * AnneMidd || 18:29 || RT @AnneMidd: Hi from Surrey, BC. Saw @gallit_z tweeting here so thought I would join in. #globalclassroom ||
 * gallit_z || 18:29 || A3: I wonder if older and younger sts can do the same things...younger ones just need more hand holding thru it perhaps? #globalclassroom ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:29 || @gallit_z Your Kidblogs are amazing, Gallit! And you were so helpful in getting mine going. :-) #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:30 || @MauiMickey for a rock fossil we were trying to identify - response was AMAZING #globalclassroom - but on my account. Immediate learning. ||
 * SwayGrantham || 18:30 || @RentonL I tested it last year, has to be done without chn having access but works,I posted about it: http://t.co/PaXxPEgr #globalclassroom ||
 * gallit_z || 18:30 || Hi AnneMarie RT @AnneMidd: Hi from Surrey, BC. Saw @gallit_z tweeting here so thought I would join in. #globalclassroom ||
 * gallit_z || 18:30 || @MauiMickey thanks :D I love blogging, tweeting and creating ePortfolios w my class!! #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:30 || @SwayGrantham @MauiMickey That scaffolding is SO critical, though - the growth in independence & "voice" dev is inspiring. #globalclassroom ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:31 || @RentonL I hope you get approval soon! Twitter is such a powerful learning tool. #globalclassroom ||
 * SwayGrantham || 18:31 || @RentonL @mauimickey it gets a bit harder for me as I only have my class in the mornings #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:31 || Let's skip Q4 - think it's covered! Q5. Which tools do you find most useful for global collaboration? #globalclassroom ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:31 || Q5 What tools do you find most useful for global collaboration? #globalclassroom ||
 * AnneMidd || 18:32 || Connecting to the gl classroom through blogging and twitter. Let stds begin blogging then establishing criteria to improve #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:32 || @MauiMickey Agreed - thank GOODNESS I have a personal account that I use to seek answers to our "I wonders"! #globalclassroom ||
 * gallit_z || 18:32 || I learned frm last yr that I need to do MORE scaffolding/modelling...like I said, I am always learning too! #globalclassroom ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:32 || A5 I like using twitter, blogs, Skype and gdocs for global collaboration. #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:33 || @SwayGrantham @mauimickey Ugh - I have them full TIME and still there isn't enough time to do everything you want to do! #globalclassroom ||
 * gallit_z || 18:33 || @AnneMidd I am going to do that this yr #inspiredbyyou #globalclassroom ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:34 || @AnneMidd Welcome Anne-Marie! #globalclassroom ||
 * SwayGrantham || 18:34 || @MauiMickey I would like to know good ways to make global connections for classes on twitter #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:34 || A5 I have LOVED Skype as an IMMEDIATE way of building meaningful connections globally. #globalclassroom ||
 * gallit_z || 18:34 || A5: twitter, @kidblog, @weebly last yr...this yr want to do more skyping like http://t.co/fGvLmXQf and googledocs #globalclassroom ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:34 || @gallit_z The scaffolding and modeling is what helps students most, I think. Better quality work! #globalclassroom ||
 * gallit_z || 18:35 || @SwayGrantham we follow other classes from @mrszvisclass and see what they are doing/they see what we are doing, etc #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:35 || A5 Blogging, of course, has been a FABULOUS way of connecting & learning from a global audience - some readers are AMAZING! #globalclassroom ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:36 || @SwayGrantham I am involved with a K twitter project, suggest you find other yr 5 teachers and start an online "pen pal". #globalclassroom ||
 * AnneMidd || 18:36 || RT @AnneMidd: Just starting twitter in class next week. Would love to connect with other classrooms @middletonsclass #globalclassroom ||
 * gallit_z || 18:36 || @AnneMidd: Just starting twitter in class next week. Would love to connect with other classrooms @middletonsclass #globalclassroom ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:36 || @SwayGrantham I use twitter as our Morning Message. Instead of on the board, it's tweeted to our followers! #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:36 || @gallit_z @kidblog @weebly Do most people here participate in Level 3 collaborations, then - joining established projects? #globalclassroom ||
 * hughtheteacher || 18:37 || RT @gallit_z: Great read @hughtheteacher @runtboy @RentonL:What is Global Taxonomy? http://t.co/C1ilg4G8 #sd36learn #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:37 || @gallit_z @kidblog @weebly Love the idea of collaborating through gdocs as well! #globalclassroom ||
 * AnneMidd || 18:37 || @gallit_z Thanks Gallit. #globalclassroom ||
 * SwayGrantham || 18:37 || @gallit_z @mrszvisclass how did you find the other classes? #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:38 || Q6. How do you embed global learning in a school's culture? #globalclassroom ||
 * gallit_z || 18:38 || RT @MauiMickey: @SwayGrantham I use twitter as our Morning Message. Instead of on the board, its tweeted to our followers! #globalclassroom ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:38 || @RentonL @gallit_z @tashacowdy and I had our classes write a book last year on gdocs. #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:38 || A6 I LOVE what Sway was talking about with regard to pulling the rest of the school in with blogging! #globalclassroom ||
 * gallit_z || 18:39 || @RentonL And I am trying to establish #mysteryprovince (similar to #mysterystate) on skype http://t.co/fGvLmXQf #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:39 || @MauiMickey @gallit_z @tashacowdy I LOVE that! Powerful! #globalclassroom ||
 * AnneMidd || 18:39 || RT @gallit_z: RT @MauiMickey: @SwayGrantham I use twitter as our Morning Message. Its tweeted to our followers! #globalclassroom Awesome ||
 * SwayGrantham || 18:39 || @gallit_z @annemidd me too although will have to tweet you from their account as not allowed to link with mine #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:39 || @gallit_z @MauiMickey @SwayGrantham Twitter as our Morning Message ... you are making me SOOOO jealous! #globalclassroom ||
 * SwayGrantham || 18:40 || @RentonL gdocs can be fab but there s an over 13s age limit which can be tricky #globalclassroom ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:40 || @RentonL @gallit_z @tashacowdy Tasha even published it in iBooks! #globalclassroom ||
 * AnneMidd || 18:40 || @RentonL Trying to do this at our school. Using school website to have every teacher share learning in their class. #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:40 || @gallit_z @MauiMickey @SwayGrantham Also - using twitter as another way of connecting with families would be powerful too! #globalclassroom ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:40 || @RentonL You should contact @happycampergirl ...she's from Calgary and uses twitter (private school, tho). #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:41 || @SwayGrantham Didn't know that ... good to know! #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:41 || RT @SwayGrantham: @RentonL gdocs can be fab but there s an over 13s age limit which can be tricky #globalclassroom ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:41 || @RentonL @gallit_z @SwayGrantham Yes! My parents sometimes tweet to the class. Such fun! #globalclassroom ||
 * gallit_z || 18:41 || @SwayGrantham through teachers who were tweeting and made suggestions...check out our list @mrszvisclass and start there #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:41 || @utalaniz Woo hoo! SO powerful with these connections are made! #globalclassroom ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:41 || Q6 How do you embed global learning in a school's culture? #globalclassroom ||
 * AnneMidd || 18:41 || @SwayGrantham @RentonL Have students sign up with parents so go around the 13 year age. #globalclassroom ||
 * SwayGrantham || 18:42 || @AnneMidd it is hard work, much needed resilience and perseverance #globalclassroom ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:43 || @SwayGrantham @RentonL I have the gdoc account, so I monitor all that is included. No problem. #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:43 || @AnneMidd Yes - love that it makes the learning "transparent" - powerful connections 4 families too. #globalclassroom ||
 * gallit_z || 18:43 || A6: tech cafes at lunch? mini workshops?  often people just need help getting started... #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:43 || @MauiMickey @SwayGrantham Yes - one smart way around it! #globalclassroom ||
 * AnneMidd || 18:43 || @SwayGrantham Trying to start with those who are the most hesitant as this may help others move forward. #globalclassroom ||
 * SwayGrantham || 18:44 || @AnneMidd @rentonl what if a parent doesn't bother to sign their child up? #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:44 || Q7a. Is it important that all students contribute in a project? #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:44 || A7 I find some are so shy ... but ... they truly begin to find their voice - sometimes it's how they SHINE! #globalclassroom ||
 * AnneMidd || 18:44 || @SwayGrantham @rentonl @gallit_z is calling all the parents personally. Quite a feat to get them all on board. #globalclassroom ||
 * teachmoorecats || 18:45 || RT @RentonL: Starting in 45 minutes: What is Global Taxonomy? (September #globalclassroom Chats) http://t.co/E6jPsTdY via @wordpressdotc ... ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:45 || @gallit_z Good ideas, Gallit. As the only #globalclassroom teacher in my school, I need ideas how to get others involved. #globalclassroom ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:45 || RT @RentonL: Q7a. Is it important that all students contribute in a project? #globalclassroom ||
 * SwayGrantham || 18:45 || A7 it is important for all students to have the opportunity to contribute but it shouldn't be forced upon them #globalclassroom ||
 * AnneMidd || 18:46 || @RentonL I have found the shy ones are better using tech to share their learning. #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:46 || @SwayGrantham @AnneMidd "Buy in" can be a challenge for sure ... sometimes it takes a while to get everyone on board. #globalclassroom ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:46 || A7a Yes, I think it is important for all to participate. They may choose to participate in different ways, though. #globalclassroom ||
 * SwayGrantham || 18:46 || @AnneMidd @rentonl @gallit_z yeah, we wouldn't get the parent support unfortunately, can't even get all kids on free trips! #globalclassroom ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:47 || Q7b If so, how do you ensure this? #globalclassroom ||
 * gallit_z || 18:47 || I find that getting to share online often gives the shy sts a voice/they may not cmmnt aloud, but will cmmnt on a blog :) #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:47 || @MauiMickey @gallit_z @SwayGrantham I LOVE that parents tweet the students back - SO exciting! #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:47 || @AnneMidd Agreed - sometimes large group is tough 4 shy ones - & small group works best - voice heard. #globalclassroom ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:48 || @RentonL @gallit_z @SwayGrantham It is slowly evolving. More participation at the end of the yr. #globalclassroom ||
 * SwayGrantham || 18:48 || @MauiMickey @gallit_z have you heard of digital leaders? http://t.co/a8sofkwq I'm using them to help staff with problems #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:48 || @AnneMidd @SwayGrantham @gallit_z Lots of home communication, encouraging them to comment on blog posts helps too. #globalclassroom ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:48 || @RentonL @gallit_z @SwayGrantham This year I actually had parents request my class BECAUSE I tweet. #globalclassroom ||
 * AnneMidd || 18:49 || @MauiMickey @RentonL @gallit_z @SwayGrantham Wow - that is amazing. Parents are thrilled with the learning in our classes. #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:49 || @SwayGrantham @AnneMidd @gallit_z That is sad - wonder if a "sharing technology" night would help to get them on board? #globalclassroom ||
 * gallit_z || 18:49 || Good luck to all this year...hope to connect with you all soon! Have to run now though...sorry!  Thx for the chat #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:49 || @SwayGrantham @AnneMidd @gallit_z Is it fear or disinterest? #globalclassroom ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:49 || @SwayGrantham @gallit_z Very cool project, Sway! #globalclassroom ||
 * SwayGrantham || 18:50 || @RentonL I exchange comments for house points - relatives commenting is double points #globalclassroom ||
 * AnneMidd || 18:50 || @RentonL @SwayGrantham @gallit_z For some in Surrey it is a language barrier. High ESL in some pockets. #globalclassroom ||
 * MauiMickey || 18:51 || Q8 What are some key ingredients of successful global collaboration? #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:51 || @AnneMidd @MauiMickey @gallit_z @SwayGrantham I agree- scared of "global" aspect at first-when they c the learning=AMAZED! #globalclassroom ||
 * RentonL || 18:51 || @MauiMickey @gallit_z @SwayGrantham I LOVE that they requested you and are inspired by the connections! #globalclassroom ||
