 * Begabungs || 10:28 || I am looking for someone, who can help us to start a project for development of talent in Indonesia, Vietnam,... #globalclassroom ||
 * glenys65 || 10:28 || This is about long term collaboration where students and teachers start with penpal letters, then develop new initiatives #globalclassroom ||
 * jasongraham99 || 10:28 || A3 and there are many in rural areas of Indonesia that we want to connect with and learn with but no computer #globalclassroom ||
 * WarwickLanguage || 10:28 || platform independance also becomes important - can what you share be seen on mobile/tablet?check with partners what use #globalclassroom ||
 * murcha || 10:29 || If #globalclassrooms do not have access to technology = difficult. Tech gives power to connect, collaborate & create now! #globalclassroom ||
