Moderating tonight but eager to follow up with later - connecting w/global classrooms is a challenge for us!
Joe from PA - former teacher and pedagogy specialist for
A1: Ts and Ss are not in this world alone. Making connections elimates fear and no fear = love.
And you're not talking about brain fog either
A1: It is critical that students have a chance to connect and interact with global peers to develop empathy and comm skills.
A1: Connecting across borders increases understanding & tolerance - often in short supply these days!
A1) Ss only know the world in which they exist. Breaking down those 4 walls expands their entire world and understanding of it
A2. Students learn how to embrace other cultures, differences - a value of our common humanity.
Hi from Argentina! ESL T, ICT Specialist, MIE Expert, Edmodo SA, CT ,LLL & GCT. Pleased to join you!
A1: important to connect across borders at young age because they'll be working with those same peeps later as adults
A1 So that kids (and teachers!) can see beyond their own little immediate worlds!
A1: Forming connections encourages awareness and critical thinking in Ss
is a fantastic place to find classes but for WL we often get message "we want to practice English, not speak our L1"
A1 Connectivity has offered endless opportunities for students/families to learn from others, widen perspective.🌏
A1 pt2: also need to have a healthy & positive understanding of & respect for differences in lifestyle, learning, communicate
A1: we live in a global economy & Ts must prepare Ss 4 the future beyond our communities. community is important 2, however.
A1: the world no longer waits for learners to come to it . Learners experience the world, immediately. https://t.co/I0lZipimn0
A1 It 's the best way to practice Global Citizenship with curriculum support and 21st Century multiliteracies in context.
A1: many of our students grow up in isolated environments where everyone shares the same beliefs and values.
A1 internet connectivity is very important to engage these connections
https://t.co/vsuou2B3gL
: understanding. One of our biggest issues is that we lack understanding of cultures and problems facing other people.
Sorry for dropping in a little late. Just getting home frm school. Amber- central florida, K-5 Global Studies teacher.
Q3: How does technology play a role in forming classroom connections?
critical thinking prepares Ss for an unknown future
Hi! Just hosted an online curriculum workshop for Middle School focused on the Middle East and Islam.
A1 Thinking about how opening up classrooms globally creates conversations that can enrich and offer ways to solve problems.
Notice how no one in mentions competing in a globalized world. I hope we've moved beyond that.
Notice how no one in mentions competing in a globalized world. I hope we've moved beyond that.
A1 More and more young learners lead lives We can't control that only help them thrive in their networks.
A2 (3?): Technology allows these connections thru , , , & other social media
A1: students find that we have a lot in common near and far
A1 build relationships, understandings, partnerships before Ss build too many preconceived ideas of other cultures & countries
Just jumping in. Bob Abrams, HS AP in Joliet, IL. moderator
My last A1 was also a good A3
OH YES. Worst part of every comment on the subject, only part of Raising Global Children that annoyed me
A3) Technology eliminates the financial constraints that prevent field trips, global & cultural experiences.Brings ppl 2gether
A3. Keeps learning relevant, engaging, and fun!
We missed Q2 - but that's ok :) https://t.co/JEjkLTOsS1
Q3: How does technology play a role in forming classroom connections?
Q2: Is your school fully connected? Do students have their own devices?
A3) Tech opens new windows for us to "experience" new cultures firsthand through VR, AR, Skype, Nearpod, Buddies, etc
Q2 provides safe, collaborative spaces for classes to work together beyond borders!
A1 w/out global connections most of my students would never get the opportunity to connect w/Ss from other cultures
A3 Technology CAN open avenues of connection...as long as Ts and building leaders seek to find those connections and avenues
A 2 Mine is a small ESL School with BYOD /T support.
I think we missed Q2 - we will try to fix that :)
A2: We're BYOD - most Ss have their own devices (high school) w/plenty of wifi available
A2 can make concepts more concrete for Ss ie
A3 Tech allows us to travel virtually anywhere we want to go
Apologies for the early Q3 - it's coming back around in 3 minutes
A2: my school did while I was teaching, but classroom connectivity is rare in the developing world.
All, feel free to answer Q2 and q3 now :) Sorry for the mix-up! https://t.co/JBrKFo8RTV
Q2: Is your school fully connected? Do students have their own devices?
tech enables students to connect, share more efficiently. If used well, tools to build empathy and relationships
A3 technology allows for connection across time and space.
Yes, how do we get leaders and teachers to seek more often?
A2 (3?) No tech, no I brings down walls and allows cultures to share in learning and begin a great conversation.
Little redundant, isn't it? The world is the whole world. It is about time we stopped thinking that is a new vista
Change usually only comes from people under 30. Rest of us are mostly caretakers, being the exception! https://t.co/recgaLNxB8
Ss are changing our world, want them to make it the best.
Ken from Western Oregon Univ. Showing up late for the festivities.
A3) Technology allows you to go to sites or posts & connect instantaneously globally. Eliminates barriers
A2/3) my school isn't connected in a 1:1 sense. But access for a whole class experience is there through webcams/smartboard
A2: Our program is outside of school, so we do not have the same resources. Many students do have personal devices, however.
A2 school not 1to1 but connections are being made
A2 I think helps build the communities necessary for global collaboration.
A3 social media/videoconferencing great for collaborative projects, learning intercultural awareness skills.
A2: School is lagging behind in resources. Hoping for 1:1 soon. District adminstill hesitant to embrace true global learning.
A2 well devices do help but never count out the resourceful one computer classroom teacher.
Thank you for the mention...🌏
I think they all should participate in , but I am kinda partial to that. ;)
Fully connected AND digitally literate? Not either. Some have devices, some don't. Some classes 1:1, some aren't. Wireless?
1:1 touch screen Lenovo Yoga 11e's - great machines! Make connecting possible!
A3 Social Networks, Third Party sites & regular messaging allow multimedia communication skills.
when you have a chance, check out . Lots of educators engaged in global/international education and programs.
A2 & A3: not fully connected but we share well, tech allows students to see & hear their peers around the globe
A2 Your school may not be connected, but don't think for a moment your young learners aren't. They find a way!
A3: technology allows 4 learning beyond 4 walls & collaboration in & out of class. Ss can also connect with peers globally
I think this is a myth. We need to put it to rest. Or we need to slow down and smell the roses.
A3: Technology is becoming an equalizer in providing opportunities for global learning in under-resourced areas.
A1 interconnected world mean global skills vital! Lack of leads to more misconceptions. Connect classrooms = intercult aware
is now trending in USA, ranking 43
One more time for Q3 :) - Q3: How does technology play a role in forming classroom connections?
A3:Tech can open a world of possibilities esp. for small rural schools like mine as long as careful thought I'd given
We need to stop going to tech conferences and go to content conferences to present. Stop preaching to choir
Work on digital/info literacy and . Get them understanding how to use for learning not playing
A2&3 pt 2: also tech & global learning can take students to places they may never experience otherwise
No kidding! Let’s do it. Seriously. I’ll do a workshop or something with you!
Hello everyone! Phil Wagener from Springfield, IL. Excited to join another awesome chat!
can we share some resources with her District to help them ease their apprehensions?
For the record, I don't think your school has to be 1:1 in order to connect globally. Tons of things you can do whole class.
Yes, esp. for small rural schools. We can now communicate and collaborate with the globe https://t.co/O1NAZxyd2Q
A3: Technology is becoming an equalizer in providing opportunities for global learning in under-resourced areas.
A3: Technology can be synchronous or asynchronous platform for making global connections - and its faster than snail mail!
A3 technology allows us to break down the classroom walls.
also gives you more forms of media
I think small rural schools have been neglected in the race to connect more schools. https://t.co/TKv1RQbcFY
Yes, esp. for small rural schools. We can now communicate and collaborate with the globe https://t.co/O1NAZxyd2Q
A3: Technology is becoming an equalizer in providing opportunities for global learning in under-resourced areas.
A3 Technology offers opportunities to have conversations globally in a variety of ways. Conversations matter...
Late to . Exhausting day! Sarah from Ann Arbor, MI
lots of resources to also may play learning.
Some of us just go rogue and do it. Getting closer as Ts and Ss share out more successes.
A3B thru connecting classrooms, tech always can help humanize the "other"
Yes,we experienced that with classes in Australia and Argentina.
but let's all remember technology is NOT the answer, just a vehicle to drive pedagogy.
Use what we have available effectively https://t.co/FM34YwD6n4
For the record, I don't think your school has to be 1:1 in order to connect globally. Tons of things you can do whole class.
A3: gives students not only to see the world, but to make changes in it
I definitely agree! So many great class projects out there!
A3 It helps. Not 100% necessary. Think pen pals/ flat Stanley, mystery letters, etc.
Yes that is why we need careful thought.
A3: Agree w/ so many answers about the power of breaking down borders and reaching so many through tech
That's true - my kid's small rural school had a hard time with tech innovation.
Oh yes You'll get there. Just lay the foundation and allay their fears.
That is why I love twitter chats and Others that speak a common language thanks to the convo.
Small schools in outback Australia and Siberia are good examples of tech connections for Ss and Ts.
Yes it is a chance for as to create and collaborate with others globally such as the Global Read Aloud
A2 I am honored to work at and we have gone 1:1, moving up and connecting Ss to community & business
Isn't pedagogy the foundation? That and exploration?
Q4: What are some challenges in using technology to connect to classrooms abroad?
Tech makes it happen in the Ss native lang. It may not be necessary, but is vital. Time is sensitive these days
BTW rocks in my classroom
Real fear for me is that & will continue only be for elite, connected Ts & Ss, not for all
Scotland also has an incredible national program for connectivity.
A3 Tech makes it easier. Especially for those with little patience and a low tolerance for boredom. (though boredom is needed)
one would hope so, but I think we've all seen it backwards.
In my school we have been lucky working with Manitoba Hydro to give us fast internet.
time difference is one !!!
Agreed. https://t.co/KfFAztqFai
Real fear for me is that & will continue only be for elite, connected Ts & Ss, not for all
A3- With the integration of tech, I've been able to enhance my instructional practice and foster collab.partnerships b/w Ps&S
A4. Time difference. 2nd graders want instant turnaround on responses
A4: I'd say biggest not technological , but question of negotiating learning outcomes cross-culturally. https://t.co/3fLuqZa2h8
Q4: What are some challenges in using technology to connect to classrooms abroad?
A4: Time zones, for sure!
A4 Moving out of our comfort zone to make connections with other classrooms. Once we do that Ss can start to explore & ask ?s
Maybe. But I wonder about that. Is email tech? Is mail tech? May have to start with it but I wonder.
A4 time differences, reliable tech in both places (make sure have a backup), possible language barriers, teacher/admin fears
QA: Finding resources that are universal and accessible in all classrooms
Yes but I always stress to colleagues to think carefully before implementing tools
A4 time zones for sure and sometimes language.. sometimes it's all the testing we do and lack of time.
Tell us more about Scotland's program. https://t.co/jdWMJH2uHe
Scotland also has an incredible national program for connectivity.
A4: Time zones is the biggest one. Here’s one example of using an asynchronous platform for science: https://t.co/KY6EhtPyym
A4 Different time zones, languages, learning goals & plans, PK, interpersonal communication skills ,Tech issues,Cultural bias.
In most US classrooms, sadly, testing. The time Ss spend on devices for tests is ridiculous, so many other ways to get data
Well, yes. I'm guilty of some of this as we explore one of my 200 hats.
A3: MysterySkype has changed our mindset. We can connect Ss nearly anywhere. The school library is the perfect place for it!
A5: Finding resources that are universal and accessible in all classrooms
Sorry, getting to a bit late. Gregg from Columbia Borough SD.
they have a national education intranet called glow based on O365/sharepoint. all schools have option to connect
Absolutely. Think, be willing to play, & try to self fund as little as possible
A4: Gowing cultural awareness on all sides. We had learning experiences on both sides of the globe
Skype, Google Hangout, FaceTime, Twitter are all free! Only barrier is willingness to experiment!
yes! Would love to hear more about Scotland's program.
A4 The idea of working asynchronously is new to some teachers. This project figured it out: https://t.co/MJgdkMnBz4
A4 The idea of working asynchronously is new to some teachers. This project figured it out: https://t.co/mQBgvG1Y56
A4: For us in central time zone in Manitoba the time zone is a big challenge with classes in Europe and Asia
A4: when schools have competing outcomes, it's like negotiating a treaty! Too often, we expect others to meet our needs!
Isn't that why we've gone 1:1? So Ss are Test Ready?
The logistics of Ts co-planning prior to the lesson. Sometimes can get awkward when everyone isn't in sync with a purpose
A4: Time zones and schedules... But wait... We can share vids and collaborative Docs anytime! 💪💪💪
Yes . Trying to convince colleagues to try these tools.
is trying to figure out how to get materials to those less connected.
Just what they are saying over at tonight too! https://t.co/lqaeqesdJk

Hi! Chanmi, Instructional Coach from CA.
Time zone are the hurdle, the rest are opportunities for learning!
A4: connectivity not even an open in many rural school, especially in the developing world where even 3G is rare
Love Mystery location chats.
A 5 Interactive collaborative apps and docs that allow interaction, scaffoding, feedback , reflection & evaluation.
Tech makes work easier - at one time a fork was consider tech...let the Ss show you how they learn...it is amazing!
Then one must learn to go with the flow, stand down, and trust the partner T.
A4: Different languages- oh wait... We have Translator and S translators! Real world experiences!!
Failing infrastructure does pose a problem with collaboration with 3rd World Nations.
A4: Actually there are very few real challenges - enjoying figuring it all out is possible for any classroom.
Q5: What are some of your favorite apps for students to use in ?
Should work be easier? Note, I'm not talking dropping extra work just b/c one can.
some people think that at least testing got schools to invest more in tech. Not a good reason. https://t.co/QwsGvR6JK3
Isn't that why we've gone 1:1? So Ss are Test Ready?
plan to have a Skype call interrupt a staff meeting ppt. That might hook them
A4 I've made connections with Ts in the US, but have not made global classroom connections. How to start? Twitter PLN? 😉
And yes, then someone invented the
But you can't just go to a high-poverty district & say Skype, Twitter are free, "just experiment"
A1: Connect classrooms across borders gives a wider perspective, very important in an interconnected & globalized planet
real world application/impact, individualizing the learning experience, teaching the how to learn
Yes. Working to build these relationships.
That's the spirit , especially if you let your young learners figure some of it out! https://t.co/fUvMhWf79C
A4: Actually there are very few real challenges - enjoying figuring it all out is possible for any classroom.

A5: both rock 🎸🎸 the classroom and library!
A5) I can imagine using to take pictures sent from a penpal school and create backgrounds for our Ss to use.
danieldowns: RT elemenous: Hi there! Excited about and the topic tonight! .
Low trust in high-poverty districts make Skype and twitter a hard sell.
we worked with our local Rotary Club to set one up!

A5: and Google Hangouts both rock 🎸🎸 the classroom and library!
A5 - the key to my global success has been . You can easily create a dynamic, digital workspace for Ss to collaborate
A5: Instagram. Ss are often visual. Showing Ss in other places the daily life of Ss in other places is always a hit.
Also, check out which I run.
Projects like , Flat Classrooms, Think Global, Global Nomads are all places to start finding connections.
I've worked in high poverty districts. We don't need everyone at the start. Find those willing
Time to cook, . Will catch up on A6-8 later. Cheers!

Find a project to join, & just start asking individual tchrs in it to try a few things/exchanges to get started.
A5: What if Ss collaborated on a world from 2 different countries using concepts from curriculums?
Maybe start with inviting people in physically?
Need to remind ourselves that not everyone has same passion we do, but we can fan that spark! Long journey starts w/ 1 step
A3: tech is the easiest way to connect, but the teachers role in creating a safe space to share is more important!
A5: Still looking for 6th grade class to do kahoot with! Want math vocab?
Absolutely! Kids will force issue! How come we do this in X's class but not yours?
Hi Joe, math & STEM coach from Palo Alto, CA, checking in late
Here's a list of global projects and orgs I've started. I'm going to add a tab for tools soon. https://t.co/NrbDF9rWWx
Q6: What is one way you want to use in your classroom this year to promote ?
A good place to start. The personal connection before going digital helps with trust.
Yes, of course, but it should stretch and challenge.
Tech is a tool, not a silver bullet. F2F is great for building connections!
It is critical for Ts to create that creative & safe space for our Ss. Also lead by example
A6: Trying to do for closure - also hoping to participate in in PreAP Bio
. A3: Flat Stanley still getting around!
Try doing pen pals, either by mail / email.

A6: The quality and integrity of the common work is the the lift that gives any tech tool its wings.
The key is always the Good Teacher. Edtech, no edtech, a good T will still impact kids https://t.co/tJZz56Heml
sure It is up to the teacher to foster the schools culture where any person, no matter who, can share and express freely
Perhaps educators have? It's everyone else who is still looking?
Yes respect is the key online at all times.
Out of curiosity - is anyone using Virtual Reality in the classroom yet?
Last question of the evening is coming up soon

Have used Aurasme a little but looking to expand . Would love to see PokemonGo in class.
Q7: Tech is changing constantly. What tool would you like to see (that doesn’t exist!) to help in your classroom?
A 7 Hardware supprises me all the time, I want heartware , motivation and soft skills to be always present. AR at its best,
I wish...specs are available on Google to build your own --- the day is coming...keep the conversation going.
A6: plan to use Chromebooks to connect with others in a global ed project
A7: Holographic communication!
but a connected T will impact the world.
A7) bear with me here: A 2-way smartboard that allows for Ss in different places to add stuff in realtime to it.
to be honest, what a question! You'll keep me thinking all night long!
Sounds like a great student project....
A7: I want a holodeck/ hologram room in the library so I can take Ss anywhere they research and immerse them in content!
we are getting chromebooks this school
A7: I would love connectivity in the developing world. Access to information is a right, not a privilege
A 7 (Cont) I would like context sensitive editors with MI , sensory & sentiment integration.
A7: ummm a teleporter?!?!
Through touch. https://t.co/JxBRAhk9gV
A7) bear with me here: A 2-way smartboard that allows for Ss in different places to add stuff in realtime to it.
A7: Wifi in everyone's hands. Power to always stay connected. Need to know, answer is in your hands.
A7 Good question. I'd like to see better ways of connecting classrooms and building relationships between teachers.
A7:Would love to see some virtual reality tool that would be easy to use and customizable for the class like PokemonGo
A7 A teleportation device would be awesome! Realistically though, high quality video conferencing for low broadband settings.
Any Tools that would make language acquisition easier would be awesome.
A7 Don't get me yet another redundant superficial tool. I like tools that allow me to be creative.
Isn't there an app for that? (Padlet?) Keep talking.
you should check out . Pretty cool!
Yes even better than holgrams!
A7 increased ways to connect w/ classrooms visually in ALL corners of the globe
