Twitter Chats are a great way for you and other educators to collaborate, generate new ideas, and discuss various Edmodo-topics. During Twitter Chats, moderators lead a conversation on Twitter about a specific topic using a pre-determined #hashtag on every tweet, and participants can join in the conversation by responding with that #hashtag.
The amazing Edmodo Support Ambassadors organize a Twitter Chat every first and third Sunday of the month at 8pm Eastern using the hashtag #edmodochat.

Ice breaker - I am thinking global competence is being able to work with others not just learn about others at a distance - cultural empathy. What are your thoughts? #edmodochat
Hello! Phil Wagener joining you from Acworth, Ga! I'm an Education Technology Specialist with @ksuiteach. Ready to learn, share, and inspire! #Edmodochat

A1 #EDMODOchat#scucit the world is connected the workforce is not on a timezone, we need to learn in our developing years that connecting is growth growth equals Cultural Understanding and #globalpeace
#edmodochat Global competence is the a set of skills that help identify, deal with and reflect upon world wide issues in their diversity to weigh perspectives, participate and take action so as to make a better world.
A1: Ss need to see there is more to our world than their community. It fosters empathy, cultural awareness and understanding, and can also help them learn to collaborate and communicate with others. It breaks down the classroom walls! #Edmodochat
I am Lucy Gray, co-founder of @globaledcon and am based in the US! A week from tonight I will be landing in India for the very first time as I am attending #ASBunplugged! #edmodochat
A1: The world outside the classroom is so interconnected. It's a disservice to Ss to not teach them how to communicate, collaborate, & coexist across cultures, languages, and geographies. #EdmodoChat
A1 - I mention a number of reasons why we should be connecting Ss & classrooms to the world in this new blog post - https://t.co/UEGIs9qIYE One that is often overlooked is it provides a purpose for digital technology in the classroom #globaled18#globalcollaboration#edmodochat
#edmodochat A1 Connecting Ss globally helps them develop 21st Century hard and soft Skills in action in an experiential way which makes learning memorable , collaborative, S -centered and holistic and empowers Ss and Ts.
A1: Getting Ss to constantly think 🤔outside the confines of your 4 walls is imperative in preparing for work in a global economy 🌎 #Edmodochat#STEM@edmodo
Welcome everyone to the #EdmodoChat! Ariel from Alexandria, VA, Senior Fellow of Global Competence @ASCD. Excited to engage with so many people from all over the globe tonight!
I was on a GHO w Italy, Macedonia, Uzbekistan, Turkey, Phillipines, and USA the other day as part of ECT cohort 11. So cool to connect via technology! #edmodochat
{edmodo: RT julielindsay: Ice breaker - I am thinking global competence is being able to work with others not just learn about others at a distance - cultural empathy. What are your thoughts? #edmodochat]
{edmodo: RT PhilipWagener: A1) By immersing students in dynamic learning experiences, students are able to practice and model the acquisition of essential skills. #Edmodochat]
Is anyone implement the @isteconnects standards for Students? Global Collaborator is a key element - visionary, & should be integrated across the curriculum #edmodochat
A2 #EDMODOchat#scucit Our standards are constantly evolving communication is HUGE and it needs to be taught across the curriculum's not just in a language/writing setting
A2 . Opens out new vistas for learning and helps Ss to think in a more broad-minded manner, they learn to empathise and think critically...they begin to think of the world as one instead of disconnected spaces and people #Edmodochat
A2b: I did think the #CCSS for ELA did require students to "actively seek wide, deep, and thoughtful engagement with high-quality literary and informational texts that builds knowledge, enlarges experience, and broadens worldviews" #Edmodochat
A2: Even if it isn't explicitly stated, you can infuse global collaboration into any subject area or standard. Ss will be more engaged, which research shows leads to deeper learning. #EdmodoChat
Although I teach Polish, the most important for me are soft competences: understanding my role in the team and readiness to change. Thx to Global Project I can work about it with my Ss.

A2: For me global collaboration helps us go beyond the standards to using our hearts and minds well @TedSizer The common core should be interpreted to be skills that build global collaboration. #edmodochat#PBL
#EDMODOchat#scucit I would love to get my students involved in chats during the class period, so they can connect with students all over, a 24 hr chat on a unifying topic of a simple "Hi, I am..." and I want to meet you...

A2: Any collaborations my Ss have participated in have involved Reading, writing, listening, & speaking, which incorporate LanArts standards. I tch gifted Ss & we have our own set of standards, including communication, collaboration, creativity & critical thinking-4Cs #Edmodochat
Via @iste : For Educators - Educators dedicate time to collaborate with both colleagues and students to improve practice, discover and share resources and ideas, and solve problems. https://t.co/7OcYNv4l09#Edmodochat
#edmodochat A 2 As an ESL Teacher, I find all HOTS soft & integrated language skills are developed and enhanced and as a member of communities of practice , I participate in authentic PBL in collaborative scenarios.
#EDMODOchat#scucit I believe we have the opportunity to change the world with our Ss by teaching them how to connect outside the borders of their campus, towns, and countries by simply doing their homework

{edmodo: RT MoBCarter: If you're online and want to learn from the best on building global competency in our k-12 teaching and learning, go to #edmodochat now! https://t.co/aopH6VD7N8]
A2) In my experience, global collaboration positions students in real-world simulations that foster depth and understanding of learning standards. #Edmodochat
#edmodochat A3 I like global projects such as Global Collaboration day and related GlobalED events , Pen Pal projects , Microsoft Events and the Hour of Code.
A4 #EDMODOchat#scucit Access to the technology. Even today this is still one of our biggest challenges. Then it becomes what first & what priority. So teach the ideas and allow them to explore on their own. Spread their wings and fly.
A4 Time zone conversion!!!! Is it daylight savings time or standard time? I'm ahead? Behind? Time travel is mind boggling even w the help of time zone converter sites #EdmodoChat
A4: Research is showing one of the biggest challenges to #globalcollaboration is teacher isolation - 1 or maybe 2 teachers in a school bothering to embed - very little support beyond. Thoughts? #edmodochat
A5: Big challenges to global collaboration is something that came up during #TCEA Global Ed Day was the fact sometimes people just "ghost" you can you never hear from them. #edmodochat
A5: Find a system of meetings that works and will work for you long term. Maybe make a contract before hand and say even if you can't make it to the meeting collaborate on a doc or something. #areyoustillalive#Edmodochat#globalcollaboration#PLN
#edmodochat A4 Pedagogical ICT integration, equal access and stakeholders’ engagement.Alternative plans for Tech issues and a growth mindset to go on with or without some collaborators.
A4: For me? Small step and a new routine, for example, segregated rubbish, water saving, taking care of knowing things but not to find out about the world with #clickbaits#fakenews#sterotypes#Edmodochat

Join us in Palm Springs, CA on March 15th. Meet fellow educators, have some drinks and food on us, and relax in our Dream Teachers’ Lounge! #Edmodochat#PLN
I would also add that relationships are key to success. If you're not invested in the professional relationship with your project partners, it's easy for a project not to suceed. #edmodochat
A4: My biggest challenge is that my county only allows us to use Skype for Business. Sometimes others are unable to connect. That is where @Flipgrid is helpful and @padlet, @Edmodo, @MicrosoftEDU Social mediaetc...We can still connect & collaborate. #Edmodochat
In reply to
@FlatConnections, @Flipgrid, @padlet, @edmodo, @MicrosoftEDU
Having hardware is vital without it, we can't be part of the greater community. I aligned Maslow's hierarchy of needs w digital literacy. Take a look #edmodochat
I've heard Tisolation can be a challenge too. I think we need to engage more w/ school admin on the benefits of global collaboration to make it a schoolwide initiative #EdmodoChat
A3) My most recent global project connects 3 international classrooms. Each classroom will be intermixed into 7 distinct groups. Groups will explore how #SDG Poverty is impacting their locations. Ss will design a proposal, create a solution, and enact that solution.#Edmodochat
A4. For me challenges have been time zones and student involvement... Few Ss need the push and the goading that slows down the process but then we do achieve some learning sooner or later.more than anything we learn from these life experiences itself . #Edmodochat
hi Leigh! Yes, if you are a connected online educator - but my research is showing there are either none or 1-2 pf these per school - not enough - & they become 'outliers' without an internal support system #Edmodochat
A4: Finding time in curriculum can be hard. Has anyone creatively aligned collaborative activities with standards/units you already have to teach? #EdmodoChat
A5: The world is smaller than they think - With the 4th Industrial Revolution upon us - students need to understand that working on a global scale is necessary to succeed in the workplace. #Edmodochathttps://t.co/FdCuEjCWgO
A4 - Understanding how to connect students, which platforms to use, I just don't have the connections/PD to help teachers. Hence my attendance here! #edmodochat
A5: Ss partly forget about their problems and try to see the issue through the eyes of another person. practicing understanding of causes and effects. this allows them to look at their actions from a distance.

When students connect with people beyond their social and cultural circles, it can help them understand the issues concerning them in a much deeper way, with greater perspective. #edmodochat
#edmodochat A5 By sharing, participating & collaborating with one another , Ss find partners of interests, scholarships , grants & inspiration that goes beyond learning paths , helps them build a solid footprint & develop multiliteracies in global scenarios as agents of change
A5 I think projects need to have some structure and purpose to be exciting to students. Poor planning does not excite them! How about using a framework like challenge based learning that allows for tackling real problems? @CBLWorld#EdmodoChat
A5: #globalcollaboration will become a mode of working - 'flat' learning to be used beyond formal education. Disconnect happens when learning is not connected. This is a BIG change for students and teachers #edmodochat#globaled18
Unfortunately, not many. :-( Many Ts are silo'ed in their classrooms and don't look for opportunities. Some are too busy or too focused on the curriculum. Admin doesn't make global collab a priority. #edmodochat
I love that you brought up the impact on teachers! When I did global projects w/ my students, it opened up my world as much as theirs and helped me grow as a professional #EdmodoChat
{edmodo: RT julielindsay: A4 - another major challenge to #globalcollaboration is the lack of understanding by educators of how to learn asynchronously with others & jump across time zones edmodo is great for that of course!) Thoughts? #edmodochat#globaled18#theglobaleducator]

{edmodo: RT zeitz: Q5: The important thing I have found is that the project isn't as important as the interaction. I grade them on reflections. #edmodochat]
A5: Broadens their thinking to allow for greater opportunities'possibilities. They realize we can learn from/work "alongside" others w/o ever leaving our classroom. Shows them future career possibilities. Also, depending on collaboration realize they r changemakers! #Edmodochat
Kate - your response encapsulates the many challenges of implementing #globalcollaboration in a school & school system - this is what I live & breath every day right now - we need to improve this #Edmodochat

I asked my student last year what she wanted to be when she grew up and she said "well I have a lot of schooling ahead of me b/c I want to double major to become a doctor and engineer to make 3-D printed prosthetics" #mindblownhttps://t.co/E7vwmaQ70h#Edmodochat#futureskills
A6 - I find the real power of #globalcollaboration is when Ss connect with peer experts - this is beyond textbook learning - Ss learn from each other #edmodochat
AGREED. #edmodochat So many admin & Ts are focused on day to day logistics & keeping things running "smoothly". They can't see how to do things differently or beyond their own walls.
A6 - I find the real power of #globalcollaboration is when Ss connect with peer experts - this is beyond textbook learning - Ss learn from each other #edmodochat
Q7: #EdmodoChat - How do you use social media to facilitate global collaboration between classrooms?
Who are some global educators to follow on Twitter?
Absolutely! But it is not just about being able to help the third world, #globalcollaboration is about working WITH the third world - side-by-side, on solving global issues - we owe it to our Ss to lead the way in these skills #Edmodochat

A6- My Ss are always curious about what school is like in other countries, so making connections while working on a project is so important to them. #EdmodoChat
A6: Reaching out to experts can be scary, and a challenge. Best advice I received? Don't be scared to cold call https://t.co/0jAjJ6xJbU'll be surprised by how many love to talk to kids! The worst that happens is they say no. #EdmodoChat
Peer experts and peer collaboration is found through carefully designed and implemented online global projects like @flatconnections - Ss work in teams WITH, and outcomes are collaborative #EdmodoChat
A6 - I find the real power of #globalcollaboration is when Ss connect with peer experts - this is beyond textbook learning - Ss learn from each other #edmodochat
#edmodochat A6 We have had access to videos by experts thus far. They like learning and if the topic interests them,sometimes they curate those resources.
#edmodochat A7 I use Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, Linkedin and Edmodo to connect w/ Ts and then to Ss so as to guide them within safe environments. I follow @TheGlobalGoals ,@globaledcon , @PenpalSchools, among others.
