A1: Your classroom no longer has walls. Through connecting w others and communicating your learning, you've opened up to the world #FLedchat

FLRichter Feb 10 @ 8:11 PM EST

Globally Connected-Ss connect with classes in the world, get to know/work with each other, building mutual respect & understanding #FLedchat

jswiatek Feb 10 @ 8:11 PM EST

So "global" doesn't have to mean global? #fledchat https://t.co/xmLC3mHfQW

A1: I also think GCCs can focus on local issues but include global resources/connections/experts. #FLedChat

@jswiatek LOL...okay maybe some boundaries. I do like the idea that tech allows communication that couldn't exist otherwise. #FLedChat

misspollock Feb 10 @ 8:13 PM EST

@MrsMurat @DennisDill You can also collaborate on Google Docs with a class in another time zone! #fledchat

Colemama Feb 10 @ 8:13 PM EST

@DennisDill Much easier to do asynchronously but does lose some value #fledchat

MrsMurat Feb 10 @ 8:14 PM EST

@misspollock @DennisDill Absolutely!! So many collaborative platforms. No excuses!! #fledchat

FirstAtBat Feb 10 @ 8:14 PM EST

@jswiatek Using other tools such as docs, blogs, or leaving video messages. #fledchat

TG_Neil - Moderator Feb 10 @ 8:14 PM EST

.@jswiatek Question may be local but Answer may be global. We should be encouraging Ss to look beyond local for solutions. #FLedChat

DennisDill Feb 10 @ 8:14 PM EST

@jswiatek where there is a will there is a way ... flexibility ... school to school harder than school to individual #fledchat

brettexplains Feb 10 @ 8:14 PM EST

A2: Global perspective in the classroom lets them play the role, and experience life outside other their world (bubble) #fledchat

danvkoch Feb 10 @ 8:14 PM EST

A2: Because otherwise, Ss are confined to the box their teacher creates inside the class walls. Set them free! #FLedChat

jswiatek Feb 10 @ 8:14 PM EST

I LOVE collaborative GDocs/GSlides with those 12-14 hours difference. Kids come in to pleasant surprise. :) #FLedChat

Colemama Feb 10 @ 8:15 PM EST

A2: reflecting a global society, Ss need to communicate and appreciate others outside their own 'world' #fledchat

FLRichter Feb 10 @ 8:15 PM EST

Globally Connected-Ss get to know/work with each other, building mutual respect & understanding; learn other points of view #FLedchat

FirstAtBat Feb 10 @ 8:15 PM EST

WriteOnJulie Feb 10 @ 8:16 PM EST

@jswiatek Asynchronous conversation is ok? #fledchat

TG_Neil - Moderator Feb 10 @ 8:16 PM EST

DennisDill Feb 10 @ 8:16 PM EST

@misspollock @jswiatek those are nice, but there is nothing better than a good live conversation ... #fledchat

teachundersun Feb 10 @ 8:16 PM EST

A2: to see the broader world, access to experts in ANY field, seeing cultural differences/similarities, making new friends #FLedChat

MrsMurat Feb 10 @ 8:16 PM EST

@learnsafari It is like a fire hydrant, but lurking is a great springboard into engaging! #fledchat

Burnsclassroom Feb 10 @ 8:16 PM EST

A2 #fledchat a connected classroom is important because of the global context of our world and Ss should see differing perspectives

jswiatek Feb 10 @ 8:16 PM EST

Watched the same movies, listened to the same music. My kids were blown away by that. #FLedChat

Colemama Feb 10 @ 8:17 PM EST

@learnsafari Welcome Becky - jump in whenever you feel like it - we're all 1st timers at something! #fledchat

@TG_Neil oh yes, especially our S in poverty. Lots of FL is still agricultural, they need exposure to the 'big city' #FLedChat

jswiatek Feb 10 @ 8:18 PM EST

I think it's INCREDIBLY important for our kids to experience other cultures, ethnicities, religions, etc. #FLedChat

KristinCHarr - Moderator Feb 10 @ 8:18 PM EST

@learnsafari Sure Becky! You can jump in anytime too. #FLedChat

TG_Neil - Moderator Feb 10 @ 8:18 PM EST
