A1 Students should be comfortable and aware of the larger WORLD community they are a part of. Insert lyrics here... "I believe that children are the future, teach them well and let them LEAD THE WAY!" #dojochat
A1 Ss need global connections so they can see what else is out there. Many don't leave their towns. Also, those connections help foster cultural awareness and sensitivity. #dojochat
A1: Our students will be expected to traverse a global business world as adults. They must have awareness and understanding of the cultural diversity they will encounter. #dojochat
Ss have to understand that we live in a small part of a very big, amazing world. Ss need to know that there is so much more than their community to get out, explore, and learn from.#dojochat#IHMarchMadness

A1: Teaching promotes understanding. With the knowledge that all people are different, students will be better prepared to tackle the world with kindness! #dojochat
A1: Global connections are important to students because as teachers we are preparing them to for the real world. The more global connections we provide them, the more prepared they will be #dojochat
A2 A global citizen is aware that not everyone has the same values, advantages, and beliefs as them. The world is big and differences abound. #dojochat
A2: I work at an international school. So many of you hit upon what we define as a global citizen already… one who contributes, has cultural awareness, explores and problem solves for the better, communicates and inquires. #dojochat
A1 GC is important because it gives Ss various perspective on people around the world it gives opportunities to learn new things and be connected #dojochat
A2 open-mindnedness, a good listener, a bit of bravery to try new things, someone who is willing to take a look from another perspective and find connections #dojochat
A2 a global citizen means understands that people may speak diff langauage and may have diff colors but you share the same emotions, learn things, experience at some point same things, share the same favorites #dojochat

A2: Being open minded, tolerant, and sensitive to different cultures and customs. Also, being informed of global issues such as world hunger. #dojochat#thanksgoogle#andeveryonehere
A2: A global citizen is an individual who is aware of not only their immediate surroundings, but also have a general understanding and appreciating of existing cultures and diversities on our planet. #dojochat
A3.1 Our school hosted an International day where students and families were invited to come share their culture. With visitors, artifacts, food, and "passports" students always eagerly awaited this day each year #dojochat
A3 tak about world events and parallel these to local events or vice-versa. Invite speakers to share experiences and connect with students from all over to expose students to different realities. #dojochat
A3 This year we read Facing the Lion, made connections with friends in Kenya, wrote letters to pen pals at an orphanage in Kenya, collected school supplies that were shipped to their school. Amazing, unforgettable experiences for my Ss. #dojochat
A2) Someone who is aware of global events, situations, cultures, and makes sure to keep themselves aware of things happening all over the world-not just knowing what is happening in your community, but also the world. #dojochat#IHMarchMadness
A3 I’ve brought students outside the Philippines to learn about ancient governments and philosophies and connected these with the Philippine historical experience #dojochat
A3 Skyping our pen pals in Kenya, having them sing songs to our students and our student singing back to them was the most amazing experience! #dojochat
A3: I am currently a student but I think school wide international days are a great idea. I also think that incorporating the countries that are represented within a classroom during instruction and activities is also important. #dojochat
A3- I am trying a new program with my students call https://t.co/0KmxU5WnIY where students will get a digital penpal to discuss global topics #dojochat
Q3: We can be models for our students by communicating with kindness and respect. We can admit our mistakes when we're wrong, we can use our words and Class Dojo to encourage positive behavior more often than pointing out negative behavior.
#dojochat
I have students from all over the globe! We talk about their countries and show them on the map.I would like to have them share more of their culture, language, etc. to make the differences come alive even more for students who have not left our state.#dojochat#IHMarchMadness
There is a great project that visually shows what a days worth of food looks like for humans around the world. Let me try to find the link in a little bit for you. Very compelling! #dojochat
Hit me up! Our librarian is currently looking to build her connections and we are looking for grade 3-5 connections. She is a pro and does a great job with new and experienced teachers alike #dojochat
A4: Another great book for Primary students that I recently bought is “same Same, But Different” by Jenny Sue Kostecki-Shaw. It illustrates how a child may interpret similarities and differences based on their background knowledge. #dojochat#ibpyp
A4 My 4th graders are reading Hold Fast, which is an amazing story about a family who suddenly becomes homeless. Broadening my Ss world view that not everyone has the same advantages as them can be easily accomplished with a great book! #dojochat

A5 Lately we have been focusing on info graphics with https://t.co/v1zZAqczkT where students research fact about homelessness and put that data into their graphic. #dojochat@easel_ly
A5 Using tech to connect students to resources made by experts, made by students themselves, and letting my students create products to share to the world #dojochat
A4 My fav is Last Stop on Market Street. I T in a well off neighborhood & this book talks about going to a low poverty neighborhood to serve in a soup kitchen. My own children love it too! #dojochat#ihmarchmadness
A5 we used it for connecting with other classes, just had one skype this year but I used @worldreadalouds#FlipGrid via @Sean4d for various stories they loved listening to it #dojochat
A5: I use Epics Books for Listen to Reading during Daily 5 and can assign collections to match what we're learning about. It has great nonfiction options! Students were able to learn about the Olympics and South Korea last week! #dojochat
A5 I have most of my students upload their video projects on Youtube so that they can contribute to the resources the PH needs in history (with parental consent of course). #dojochat
A5: I recently observed third graders engaging in internet research to uncover facts about their favorite Olympic and/or Para-Olympic athlete. During this activity they also learned information about the country the athlete is from. #dojochat
Q4 Me On The Map comes to mind, also the books we read around the holidays for Christmas around the world. Madeline, The Little Prince. #dojochat#IHMarchMadness
A5: I use @EpicKidsBooks for Listen to Reading during Daily 5. I love that I can assign collections to match hot topics. It has great nonfiction options! Students were able to learn about the Olympics and South Korea last week! #dojochat
Yes! just made sure to check before sharing w the class. Sometimes the famous painters have not Kindergarten appropriate paintings displayed. 😅 #dojochat
Q5 We just finished talking about maps, so that is on my mind! We used Google Maps this year with street view, to show them how we could zoom out to the entire global view if earth, spin it, and go down into other countries.#dojochat#IHMarchMadness
I love finding monthly hashtags challenges to do with my students. Last year I did #doodleaday in April. We took 15 minutes each day to complete the challenge and posted. We viewed some wonderful art from young to old! #dojochat
A5 I use technology whole group to my Kinders to not only show them the world, but to teach how to use technology. We look at live zoo cameras and research questions we don't know the answers to. Would love more ideas! #dojochat#ihmarchmadness
A6: @cybraryman1 has curated a ton of relevant and amazingly useful info on twitter to connect just about anyone with anything. He also co-authored a book worth checking out “Connecting Your Students With the World.” #dojochathttps://t.co/F0DJsXeKwJ
A6: I’ve used twiiter as a discussion board during the Presidential debates with a hashtag just for my class. I asked questions about their thoughts as we went! #dojochat
Q6 I am new to twitter, this is my second chat, so I am all ears! This is not something that has crossed my mind as a possibility, how exciting! #dojochat#IHMarchMadness
A7: I have a few favorites that have connected me with classrooms all over the globe. Google these….
International Dot Day (9/15ish)
The Global Read Aloud (10/1)
Pen Pal Schools (Projects All Year Long)
The Global Classroom Project (Projects All Year Long)

A7 I don't really have a website per se, but the ClassDojo Facebook Communities have been amazing in facilitating connections around the world! ❤️🌍🙌#dojochat
It's only now that I've started seeing how I can connect my classroom and myself to the wider world. For the longest time it's always been about the immediate community #dojochat
A6 I am very new to Twitter and haven't used it in my classroom yet....still getting use to it myself. Would love ideas for Kinders!
#IHMarchMadness#dojochat
https://t.co/qeiQbDPfFo offers stories of people from all over the rule to inspire students to connect and understand their role in the global community. #biogiraffe#dojochat
Q7 I am starting to work with Google Classroom, I know my colleagues have used that to communicate with other classrooms, sounds like an easy way to start! #dojochat#IHMarchMadness
I started when I taught Kinder. Look for monthly projects like #mathaday and complete the tasks. Upload the work and share. View others work and talk about it. #dojochat

A8 there's a bigger world out there and a lot of amazing people can help you along the way. Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone, take risks, and appreciate everybody #dojochat
A8 That the world is big and bold and there's a whole lot of interesting things out there. They should embrace as much of it as humanly possible! #dojochat
GOOD QUESTION... I want students to know that they are part of an amazingly diverse world where they can make great impact, make great friendships, and that there is so much to explore and see with an open mind and heart #dojochat
A8: I want my own children to make a difference. I want them to change the world for the better. I want them to create a place for everyone to be accepted. I wish the same for my students. #dojochat
A7 The Awesome Squiggles project is fun. Google Hangout is a fun way to talk amongst classrooms. We participate in a book march madness challenge. Would love more ideas for Kinders when connecting classrooms and projects! #IHMarchMadness#dojochat
So excited for all the ideas shared this evening, we're lucky to get to collaborate with amazing educators like yourselves. 🙌 Thank you @CrosbysCoolCats for hosting #dojochat... see you all next week! ❤️
During the early years in education Ss don't always tune into the world beyond themselves. It is common for the world to revolve around them and what they have experienced. I would want my young Ss to expand their thinking beyond the school they are in. #IHMarchMadness#dojochat
