-
-
a1: My students watch CNN student news each day, so that is a global connection of sorts.
-
That's cool. Is WeChat more accesible than Google Hangouts / Skype for the ppl you connect with?
-
3? like 3 canadians? or 3 canadas?
-
A1B: Ss connect via vines and other Social Networks, where we as Adults use news outlets
-
A1b: Students can connect to the world through gaming.
-
-
A2 many of my Ss use music to connect to their cultures. Otherwise I don't know that they actually think globally
-
Didn't think of this but very true. Sounds like my third grade nephew.
https://t.co/5CLiTFryhg
-
-
A1b: Students can connect to the world through gaming.
-
-
Agreed on the music. Seems to be universal for a lot of Ss.
-
that's where I see most of my students, even my own son making global connections
-
-
. yep. Teachers should not underestimate the connections students make through gaming.
-
Q2: https://t.co/WqEfPvP57i = Ts/Ss around globe run labs & compare results after.
What would u expect of experience like this?
-
A1b: Many through news, through Twitter, and online adventures, ie YouTube.
-
A1: my time at ISTE has established relationships with educators from Australia and England
-
Totally see that happening! I like what projects can be risen from these sorts of ideas
-
here is a sample Italy, France, Spain, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Austria
-
a2: I didn't know about this. I will have to check it out.
-
Ahh geography, not population density, nice (:
-
-
A2 I think Ss would dig this! Time zones an issue for live connections
-
In a galaxy far away, when I was a kid I learned a lot of world connections through game, "where in the world is carmen san diego"
-
A2: I'd expect Ts Ss and Ps seeing that learning can be universal. Maybe break down some unnecessary walls.
-
A2: I would expect awesomeness and I hope to do such a thing someday soon
-
A2: That is super cool. I think our Ss would love interacting with world Ss like this. Embarrassed I didn't know about it.
-
at Edcampperris last year I saw an amazing example of a global connection. Students were presenting and sharing their work!!!
-
-
Q2b: What other ways can we connect with classrooms content with others across the globe?
-
A2: I would expect to get exposed to students who are unlike them and yet they will be universally similar.
-
A2: It allows Ss to practice content they are working on as well as Language and new cultures.
-
A2: I imagine it's first about finding common grounds, common problems, etc then building on that
-
Brilliant show!!! https://t.co/QZFlSZpRvN

-
In a galaxy far away, when I was a kid I learned a lot of world connections through game, "where in the world is carmen san diego"

A2:ditto, this looks promising
-
Q2b: I have been showing my students how students solve math problems in other countries during our "math talks"
-
-
-
A2: I am glad I met at Edcamp Perris last year to learn about this
-
a2: Does anyone know of a place to find global classrooms to follow on Twitter?
-
A2b: I'm thinking of our IB schools, where "Global Context" is inherent part of their units, purposeful for Ss and Ts
-
-
that would be so cool in Language classes
-
that's key: showing Ss how many things they have in common even thru diversity
-
-
-
Great question. I know that has connected with other classrooms via
-
This is the guy who had that amazing example I just tweeted about! https://t.co/wsBhGN9gTy
-
-
A2: I am glad I met at Edcamp Perris last year to learn about this
-
I guess we as Ts should connect with other Ts around the world for the benefit of our Ss
-
a TOSA in my district emailed us about this today.
-
-
-
A2b: I agree. Blogging and twitter chats.
-
-
If I may ask, in what ways did you interact with tonight's theme in the classroom?
-
Brian is awesome. Definitely love his passion for global connections.
-
I went to Edcampoc this year and we had a session with Edcamp Hawaii (I totally forgot!)
-
-
So I'm thinking, traveling and people who I know who are well traveled, have a very different perspective on life, world, etc
-
-
How might we facilitate that same experience in the classroom?
-
Q3 coming - time to talk about 2016 and play....
-
-
A2b: Google hangouts between classrooms is a great way to connect
-
The conferences or the classrooms?
-
Q3: What is a connection you want to reach for in 2016 for you and/or your classroom(s)?
How will you chase that goal?
-
And through these interactions, what were the learnings that Ss experienced?
-
. This was an online video conference thing.
-
A2b
Check out They run projects around the world.
-
. Great add for resources.
-
A3: I want my Ss to be aware more of environmental issues near them and around the world and what can be done to help
-
I remember being enlightened by a friend on the power of empathy from Google Hangouts.
-
A0: Amanda Darton, Math TOSA, I just broke into my house to say . No seriously I did.
-
A3:I want to build empathy among Ss for all people around the world by helping them see themselves in the suffering & joy ofothers
-
A3: Connecting the global context w/personal experience of how we round out our Ss, intersection of two sets, T make union of sets
-
A3
I want to tech in China for 2 weeks this summer. Connecting with a school now
-
A3: I have decided to dip my toes into the and started to blog using their blog initiative

A3: working on blogging with other classes at HHS, then other schools in district, then...
-
Welcome to , we're a bunch of math geeks, and we love it (:
-
A3: Maybe I can connect with peers via twitter and then meet up with them in Europe. That would be really outside my comfort zone
-
That
Is
Awesome.
I need to get back on that too.

A3b: I wanna play. How do we do this in HS?

-
-
Q3: What is a connection you want to reach for in 2016 for you and/or your classroom(s)?
How will you chase that goal?
-
So I'm trying this intersection of analog and digital solutions, so yes, so on my calendar
-
A3B: I would love to try it out for the Ss sake, as Dewey said the more experiences the better for the students
-
-
A3 cont: I would love to set up a Google Hangout between my Ss and some Syrian refugees. Not sure how best to do that.
-
A3b How about discuss during next ? Moderators??

That is such a great question. I feel like I need to flip a switch. Push more for the why not now.
-
A3: hoping Google cardboard will be available for my Ss to explore the globe
-
-
. A3 cont: I would love to set up a Google Hangout between my Ss and some humans. Not sure how best to do that.

-
-
Dangit. It looks like I missed , However I am in time for !
-
A3B: Maybe I can establish a connection for my Ss when I visit Sicily in late March

A point made about is that play needs to let the user guide without unnecessary boundary; making me think a lot.
