 * 10:10:51 || melulater || Kia ora. I'm Melanie from the Waikato, New Zealand. I teach a Year 4-8 class in a rural 2 class primary school. #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:12:13 || siromanid || @vanschaijik Simply, #culture is our way of living. #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:12:14 || TheHeadsOffice || @melulater Hello Melanie! That;'s quite an age range in one class! #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:12:52 || vanschaijik || @melulater Hi Melanie and welcome. This is a crazy hour for us Kiwis, but a great way to meet others outside twittersphere #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:13:03 || TheHeadsOffice || @siromanid Hi There! Do say heloo! How do we sshare that approach? @vanschaijik #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:13:43 || vanschaijik || @siromanid Hi Siromani great to see you again. #Globalclassroom and let our fellow kiwis know where you are from ||
 * 10:13:57 || melulater || @TheHeadsOffice yes it is. But It's not uncommon in small rural ares in NZ #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:14:39 || Dianne_Khan || Hi I am a teacher. mum and education activist in New Zealand. #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:15:04 || vanschaijik || @newmarketschool we have begun our focus by also defining culture with the chn, #globalclassroom - it is still the ice we see ||
 * 10:15:11 || 1MvdS || @vanschaijik The beliefs, values of a group of people #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:15:37 || TheHeadsOffice || @Dianne_Khan Hi Dianne! What is your experience of teachuing about culture / global issues? #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:16:08 || vanschaijik || @Dianne_Khan Hi Dianne and welcome - great to have you join @TheHeadsOffice and me here on #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:16:52 || melulater || Q1. I think culture is the values, beliefs, traditions that we practice & celebrate in our daily lives. #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:17:05 || TheHeadsOffice || What do we mean when we talk about culture? #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:17:07 || vanschaijik || A1. @1MvdS Nice response and looking below the iceberg analogy. @whatedsaid #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:17:30 || MandyB009 || #OZeLive Keynote Michael Graffin was AWE INSPIRING on #globalclassroom Projects, sharing info & learning experiences around the world. ||
 * 10:17:35 || Dianne_Khan || @theheadsoffice It's interesting teaching about culture in a country where I am an immigrant; often the children teach me. #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:17:42 || vanschaijik || RT @TheHeadsOffice: What do we mean when we talk about culture? #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:17:51 || vanschaijik || RT @melulater: Q1. I think culture is the values, beliefs, traditions that we practice & celebrate in our daily lives. #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:18:22 || TheHeadsOffice || @Dianne_Khan Brilliant! Do you ask the questions or do the children tell? Does it give you a different perspective? #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:18:34 || vanschaijik || A1. @melulater Can you give some examples for us #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:18:46 || melulater || Q1. I think as families & individuals we evolve our own cultural practices to reflect how we are validated or what we learn #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:18:58 || Dianne_Khan || What culture is, in NZ&lt; is a big question - it's a fairly young country with a patchy history re treatment of Maori. #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:19:09 || siromanid || @vanschaijik Hi all, I am from #Kathmandu #Nepal. More: http://t.co/a1zoxX6uan #Globalclassroom ||
 * 10:19:22 || vanschaijik || RT @MandyB009: #OZeLive Keynote Michael Graffin was AWE INSPIRING on #globalclassroom Projects, sharing info & learning experiences around … ||
 * 10:19:43 || TheHeadsOffice || @siromanid Wow! Welcome from what I think of as a magical country! Is it? #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:20:50 || TheHeadsOffice || Taking up @Diane_Khan's point - do we teach the cultrue we have or develop it? #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:20:52 || siromanid || RT @TheHeadsOffice: @siromanid Wow! Welcome from what I think of as a magical country! Is it? #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:21:03 || vanschaijik || Q2)What aspects of culture are suitable for inquiry? #globalclassroom Why is learning about culture important? #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:21:48 || Dianne_Khan || @TheHeadsOffice Both. I tell them they are the experts and I need to learn, and then they tell (with guidance).  #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:22:14 || vanschaijik || Hey @1MvdS did you pick up anything that our central educators are doing #educamprotovegas #globalclassroom #culture ? ||
 * 10:22:43 || melulater || @vanschaijik in 2010 I taught class w some kids from Indian b/g, some from South Africa, Pakeha middle class, some Maori... #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:23:04 || vanschaijik || @Dianne_Khan @TheHeadsOffice Where are you from originally Dianne? #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:24:04 || TheHeadsOffice || @melulater What a wealth of experience for you to tap into or were they not sure of their original cultures? #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:24:10 || Dianne_Khan || It was also interesting discussing culture in England, with students from around the world, different religions, etc. #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:24:16 || melulater || @vanschaijik ...when Divali happened some chn bought in traditional food to celebrate. Other chn took it in their stride. #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:24:39 || 1MvdS || A1. @melulater Yes and a set of values where one must be virtuous to a certain degree. One adapt a code of ethics #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:24:56 || RachelOrr || #globalclassroom Often try to give practical experiences to children who may never get beyond their own street to see other cultures. ||
 * 10:24:58 || vanschaijik || @melulater Thats what teaching in New Zealand is about. I love the variety of #cultures we have @newmarketschool #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:25:53 || TheHeadsOffice || Think we are nervous talking about 'culture' in the UK. worried we will offend someone! Strange given the mixture we have #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:26:03 || TheHeadsOffice || RT @RachelOrr: #globalclassroom Often try to give practical experiences to children who may never get beyond their own street to see other … ||
 * 10:26:13 || vanschaijik || @RachelOrr Hi Rachel and Welcome to the #globalclassroom discussion. Please share your location. ||
 * 10:26:41 || siromanid || @vanschaijik Learning about culture is important to accept the reality "One World Many Voices". #Globalclassroom #Culture ||
 * 10:26:43 || TheHeadsOffice || Do we teach the 'safe' aspects of other cultures? #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:27:11 || vanschaijik || @TheHeadsOffice How many of us taking part tonight in #globalclassroom are bilinguals? I am. ||
 * 10:27:12 || melulater || @vanschaijik I certainly didn't bat eye lid. My brother married to girl of Punjabi descent, I get to go their celebrations. #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:27:13 || 1MvdS || A2. @vanschaijik It's a way of linking people. To bond, to shape behavior and standards #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:27:28 || RachelOrr || #globalclassroom We took children to local Mosque. Taken aback by the fact some weren't 'allowed' to go by parents. ||
 * 10:28:10 || Dianne_Khan || @TheHeadsOffice It was interesting being an athiest called Khan training in a mainly Muslim schl. Lots of great discussion. #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:28:12 || vanschaijik || @TheHeadsOffice I think that is why we work hard at @newmarketschool to understand where our children come from #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:28:48 || 1MvdS || @vanschaijik @TheHeadsOffice So am I :-) #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:28:56 || RachelOrr || @vanschaijik #globalclassroom Durham UK. Know Julia well. Thanks. ||
 * 10:29:14 || vanschaijik || @siromanid Nicely put Siromani #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:29:32 || Dianne_Khan || @RachelOrr Lots of fear and insular thinking around religions, sadly. #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:29:46 || TheHeadsOffice || Is it easier to teach about diff cultures if you have a mix of races in sch? What about (in UK) just white British? #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:30:14 || melulater || @TheHeadsOffice I think Indian children were. Their parents were reasonably recent immigrants. They tend to still value. #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:30:41 || RachelOrr || @Dianne_Khan #globalclassroom Perhaps fear of unknown or ignorant fear. ||
 * 10:31:14 || TheHeadsOffice || RT @RachelOrr: @Dianne_Khan #globalclassroom Perhaps fear of unknown or ignorant fear >For some teachers too ||
 * 10:31:20 || vanschaijik || @RachelOrr I was in London in September last year. In addition I visited the countries that our children originate from #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:33:11 || vanschaijik || @TheHeadsOffice I guess I have not thought of that Julia as -never experienced a single group of culture in all my 30 years #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:33:41 || vanschaijik || Q3) How do we start to build trust and relationships between international partners which endure over time? #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:34:33 || Dianne_Khan || @TheHeadsOffice @RachelOrr Yes, I got odd comments from staff when I invited a Jehovah's Witness parent to speak abt Easter #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:35:31 || Dianne_Khan || Having Skype discussions/lessons with classes elsewhere might be a good start? #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:35:33 || TheHeadsOffice || As a HT of an all white sch had to 'borrow' some blackness if you see what I mean! Diff for ch to see similarities then #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:36:03 || TheHeadsOffice || RT @Dianne_Khan: Having Skype discussions/lessons with classes elsewhere might be a good start? #globalclassroom >good use of technology ||
 * 10:36:58 || vanschaijik || @TheHeadsOffice I don't understand, can you clarify? #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:37:20 || RachelOrr || @StoneworksEduc we write parent/pupil case studies, some times parents object to diff ethnic studies http://t.co/OkiSRYIt8x #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:37:59 || vanschaijik || Again?? Q3) How do we start to build trust and relationships between international partners which endure over time? #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:38:46 || TheHeadsOffice || @vanschaijik Not having other races in sch made it difficult to easily explore diff cultures. It had to be manufactured. #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:38:52 || vanschaijik || @RachelOrr @StoneworksEduc Thanks for the link Rachel #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:39:00 || melulater || @RachelOrr had similar experience with Pakeha (European descent) parents reaction to visiting marae (Maori meeting place) #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:39:14 || TheHeadsOffice || RT @RachelOrr: @StoneworksEduc we write parent/pupil case studies, some times parents object to diff ethnic studies http://t.co/OkiSRYIt8x … ||

 * 10:40:17 || vanschaijik || @TheHeadsOffice Ahh Wait til you come to Auckland - Do come and visit us @newmarketschool #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:40:21 || TheHeadsOffice || Does the language we used get in the way of global connections? #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:40:25 || 1MvdS || A3. @vanschaijik If we treat others with dignity re diff cultures, positive relationships will be build on trust #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:40:31 || cossie29 || @vanschaijik Sharing through personal stories - digital storytelling, epals learning collaborations - lifetime connections #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:40:42 || TheHeadsOffice || RT @cossie29: @vanschaijik Sharing through personal stories - digital storytelling, epals learning collaborations - lifetime connections #… ||
 * 10:41:01 || TheHeadsOffice || @cossie29 Hello Justine! where in the world are you? #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:41:17 || vanschaijik || @melulater @RachelOrr Really, even when you quote our responsibilities as NZ educators to the NZC ? #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:41:25 || melulater || @vanschaijik @TheHeadsOffice in NZ there is always at least one that's different ethnicity to rest & only one in class! #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:41:28 || TheHeadsOffice || RT @vanschaijik: @TheHeadsOffice Ahh Wait til you come to Auckland - Do come and visit us @newmarketschool #globalclassroom > Thank You! ||
 * 10:42:27 || TheHeadsOffice || @melulater Why do you think the Pakeha parents had a problem? #globalclassroom @RachelOrr ||
 * 10:42:36 || vanschaijik || @cossie29 Thanks Justine soon we will ask for links #globalclassroom can you get some ready for us? ||
 * 10:42:45 || melulater || @vanschaijik @RachelOrr even then. I think it's because so many haven't done it themselves. The fear of the unknown. #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:43:41 || siromanid || @vanschaijik I think, transparency in communication will help build trust and relationships. #Globalclassroom ||
 * 10:43:55 || TheHeadsOffice || To really embed a value of other cultures do we need to bring in parents morew so than children? #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:43:55 || melulater || @vanschaijik @RachelOrr personally, because I took part in so many powhiri (welcoming ceremony to marae) at high school... #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:44:17 || technologytotea || RT @RachelOrr: #globalclassroom Often try to give practical experiences to children who may never get beyond their own street to see other … ||
 * 10:44:24 || vanschaijik || Q4) What learning opportunities foster discussions about similarities and differences across cultures? #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:44:45 || melulater || @vanschaijik @RachelOrr ...it doesn't faze me to go to a marae or be in a powhiri. #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:45:03 || vanschaijik || @TheHeadsOffice Yes definitely parental involvement is vital #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:45:11 || TheHeadsOffice || RT @vanschaijik: Q4) What learning opportunities foster discussions about similarities and differences across cultures? #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:45:35 || RachelOrr || #globalclassroom Core values are probably what most cultures have in common - respect, trust, belief, kindness, love etc.... ||
 * 10:45:47 || vanschaijik || @siromanid I agree totally Siromani as would @newmarketschool Dr Wendy Kofoed #communication #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:46:18 || vanschaijik || @1MvdS what are your thoughts on parental involvement #globalclassroom ? ||
 * 10:46:53 || technologytotea || having recently met a man who had never left his farm and hadn't met a black person, tech can help #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:47:12 || vanschaijik || Q4b. How does culture apply to my life? #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:47:13 || TheHeadsOffice || What resources do you use in NZ schs to help with your cultural diversity? Can we share? #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:47:19 || mobo40 || RT @RachelOrr: #globalclassroom Core values are probably what most cultures have in common - respect, trust, belief, kindness, love etc.... ||
 * 10:48:02 || vanschaijik || @RachelOrr Rachel the iceberg we cannot see of culture #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:48:05 || TheHeadsOffice || @technologytotea Hi Maggie! did he 'get off the farm' virtually? #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:48:54 || melulater || @TheHeadsOffice @RachelOrr some Pakeha have prejudices that stem from their upbringing & experience. #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:49:02 || Dianne_Khan || @RachelOrr Yes, perfect opportunity to see the similarities and discuss differences too. #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:49:11 || RachelOrr || @vanschaijik #globalclassroom Things you wear on your heart and are seen through action and not words. ||
