=Archive of July's #GlobalClassroom Chat 3/3 - Sunday July 14th, 01:00-02:00 UTC= =Using Social Media & Twitter to Connect & Collaborate Globally=


 * MrsMorgansClass || Good evening and welcome to #globalclassroom chat #3 - using Social Media &Twitter to connect globally. Use Twubs http://t.co/MHCrce9gAO || 01:03:36 ||
 * MrsMorgansClass || @tenilleshade Hey Tenille - light crowd tonight. This is the 3rd of 3 #globalclassroom chats today. How was #NeRdCampBC? || 01:11:08 ||
 * tenilleshade || #globalclassroom Oh. Should I have been at the other two to participate? #nErDcamp was AMAZING! || 01:12:26 ||
 * theASIDEblog || Social media offers learners a valuable way to connect with others. Problem is most sites are blocked by school districts. #Globalclassroom || 01:13:14 ||
 * renzii || #globalclassroom Hey guys! I can be here for at least a bit... || 01:13:16 ||
 * tenilleshade || #globalclassroom Louise, do you host this monthly Twitter chat? If so, you're my hero. So brave! || 01:13:17 ||
 * MrsMorgansClass || @tenilleshade Are you home already? I am looking forward to #edcampFWTX on July 27. Are you going? #globalclassroom || 01:13:22 ||
 * MrsMorgansClass || @renzii Hey Renee! How is life in Trinidad/Tobago? I haven't talked to you for a while! #globalclassroom || 01:14:03 ||
 * tenilleshade || #globalclassroom Yes! I'm signed up, and hopefully Chris and I both can attend. Pulled into my drive way around 3:00 today. Wiped out! || 01:14:56 ||
 * theASIDEblog || Social media is an integral part of building a collaborative environment to promote global understanding. #Globalclassroom || 01:15:38 ||
 * MrsMorgansClass || @tenilleshade Fun! I have never attended an #edcamp - not sure what to expect. #globalclassroom || 01:15:39 ||
 * MrsMorgansClass || "We will use the Q1 A1 format - Q1 coming right up.
 * 1) globalclassroom" || 01:16:27 ||
 * renzii || Know exactly what you mean RT @theASIDEblog Social media are blocked by school districts. #Globalclassroom || 01:16:50 ||
 * MrsMorgansClass || "Q1: WHY should teachers explore the use of Twitter and social media tools to learn, share,connect, & collaborate globally?
 * 1) globalclassroom" || 01:17:09 ||
 * theASIDEblog || If we want kids to be active participants in learning, schools need to allow social media as part of it. #Globalclassroom || 01:17:20 ||
 * renzii || #globalclassroom Fine, crashed hard drive NOT covered by admin or insurance severly limits my connectivity || 01:18:11 ||
 * MrsMorgansClass || Absolutely! RT @theASIDEblog If we want kids to be active participants in learning, schools need to allow social media. #Globalclassroom || 01:18:21 ||
 * MrsMorgansClass || @renzii bummer - we have missed you at HLW skypers. #globalclassroom || 01:18:48 ||
 * tenilleshade || #globalclassroom A1 - Professional growth. Expansion of tribes. Pursuit of continual improvement. || 01:18:55 ||
 * ElisaW5 || A1 Elisa in Quito. To me twitter enriches me as a learner. It's the most obvious reason to connect. #GlobalClassroom || 01:19:04 ||
 * MrsMorgansClass || @tenilleshade Expansion of Tribes...I like it! #globalclassroom || 01:19:27 ||
 * renzii || #globalclassroom To develop empathy, respect and tolerance in our young learners || 01:19:30 ||
 * theASIDEblog || The real world uses social media. Schools block the media that makes learners feel connected and participatory. #Globalclassroom || 01:19:37 ||
 * tenilleshade || #globalclassroom @renzii Agreed! Helps us all build more dialogic classrooms! || 01:20:27 ||
 * MrsMorgansClass || Q2: besides Twitter, what other social media do you use or want to use in your classroom? #globalclassroom || 01:20:33 ||
 * renzii || Could never have progressed as far as I have without my amazing PLN on #globalclassroom, Twitter, HLNSkpers || 01:21:04 ||
 * Kathe_Kirby || RT @RobynThiessen: @JenWagner has many amazing projects. #flatclass also is an amazing way to collaborate! #globalclassroom || 01:21:07 ||
 * MrsMorgansClass || Agreed! RT @renzii Could never have progressed as far as I have without my amazing PLN on #globalclassroom, Twitter, HLWSkpers || 01:21:27 ||
 * theASIDEblog || Another problem is getting teachers on board to model using social media. It's a powerful way to connect with learners. #Globalclassroom || 01:21:42 ||
 * tenilleshade || #globalclassroom A2 Biblionasium, Weebly, Edmodo, & Classroom Website. Still exploring some new options. || 01:21:45 ||
 * ElisaW5 || A2 I have done a Mystery Skype that has led to several continuing projects for my students. #GlobalClassroom || 01:22:03 ||
 * renzii || #globalclassroom Padlet || 01:22:05 ||
 * MrsMorgansClass || RT @tenilleshade #globalclassroom A2 Biblionasium, Weebly, Edmodo, & Classroom Website. Still exploring some new options. || 01:22:20 ||
 * MrsMorgansClass || @tenilleshade thinking about @Biblionasium as an option. Can you explain how it works? #globalclassroom || 01:22:57 ||
 * renzii || #globalclassroom We had a bookmark exchange that lead to a year of connections that is still continuing! || 01:23:18 ||
 * KatyGartside || RT @theASIDEblog: If we want kids to be active participants in learning, schools need to allow social media as part of it. #Globalclassroom || 01:23:43 ||
 * swise_bc || A1 I am new to Twitter. I see it as opportunity for our Ss to use it in a meaningful way & learn how to use SM responsibly #globalclassroom || 01:23:50 ||
 * MrsMorgansClass || @ElisaW5 #mysteryskype is an excellent "handshake" that leads to more connections and collaboration. #globalclassroom || 01:23:56 ||
 * tenilleshade || #globalclassroom Basically Goodreads for younger readers. It's a social networking site where kids keep a record of their reading lives. || 01:24:08 ||
 * ElisaW5 || A2 Am planning a year-long partnership with another class in the US and am planning to extend Mystery Skype. #GlobalClassroom || 01:24:13 ||
 * renzii || #globalclassroom Loved the idea, but not the reality of quadblogging #manyissues || 01:24:17 ||
 * MrsMorgansClass || @swise_bc Many educators are using Twitter iin their classrooms even Kindergarten! #globalclassroom || 01:24:34 ||
 * renzii || #globalclassroom Lol, Goodreads and Shelfari both blocked @ my school. || 01:24:56 ||
 * ShannonMSpinner || RT @theASIDEblog: If we want kids to be active participants in learning, schools need to allow social media as part of it. #Globalclassroom || 01:25:36 ||
 * renzii || Hope to create opp for fewer connections, but deeper interactions #globalclassroom || 01:26:05 ||
 * swise_bc || A2 I plan to do global read aloud. I want to Skype and GHO with other classes. #globalclassroom || 01:27:11 ||
 * MrsMorgansClass || @tenilleshade on @biblionasium Can the kids see each other's logs and reviews like @Goodreads? #globalclassroom || 01:27:12 ||
 * tenilleshade || #globalclassroom Learned about Sister Classrooms at #nErDcampBC. Top ten blog explaining how to find a partner. http://t.co/BIh34w12ST || 01:27:30 ||
 * MrsMorgansClass || @swise_bc The global read aloud is an excellent way to make connections that will last the whole year #GRA13 #globalclassroom || 01:28:11 ||
