Join the Collaborative Professional Development movement! Every month, Jennifer Williams and Participate invite you to share how you are incorporating blended learning tools and ideas derived from other educators into your instruction and professional development. This chat is great if you are new to Twitter, or a seasoned social media maven. Ultimately, it’s about empowerment and self-discovery through the expansion of personal learning networks, and the ability to blend in voices, concepts and tools from all over the world.

A1 In the #edtech world I've got to go with #ISTE . The breadth and depth of the knowledge of the membership is second to none. Plus, I want to go to Chicago ;) #CollaborativePD
A1: I like the National Center on Education and the Economy @CtrEdEcon. They produce many comparison between nations and provide different aspects of education on different continents. #collaborativepd

A1: My global inspiration is a man that is a wealth of knowledge in the topic of digital literacy and considers it the only hope for the free world (without hyperbole) his name is Allan November and his twitter handle is @globalearner#CollaborativePD
A1: I am a big fan of @RigorRelevance to for professional growth and development. Looking to see how I can expand this portion of my PLN.....#CollaborativePD
A2 thinking outside our bubble-worlds. Being able to lean on your #PLN for #collaborativePD and see impacts outside of your school/office/district/state is invaluable. And necessary.
A2 Educators can develop many of the same skills & competencies as our students with global connections. Communication, collaboration, different perspectives, etc. #CollaborativePD
A2: Yesterday at #ByAllMeansHGSE@JohnBKing said - attending diverse schools increases empathy and reduces bias. A global #PLN helps use break down the 4 walls & bring that diversity to our classrooms. #CollaborativePD
A2: "Going global" with a PLN can broaden opportunities for developing a growth mindset. Learning new and innovative ways to reach students can only foster success and achievement. #CollaborativePD
A2 It broadens our perspectives, can bring in authentic real world experiences, resources, guests to enrich our classes, engage our Ss and enhance the whole learning exper #collaborativePD#iew17#globaledu17

A2. An opportunity to knock down the classroom walls and make the WORLD our classroom, as it should be. A chance to connect, in REAL-TIME, with REAL people around the globe. A chance to growth personally a develop empathy and tolerance at a young age. #priceless#collaborativepd
A2: With every piece of the global puzzle comes more insight and intrigue. We’d be fools to accept our claustrophobic confines as truth with a capital “T”. Global connectivity grants us perspective (21st Century’s greatest commodity) #CollaborativePD
A2 I'd be learning within a bubble without a global PLN, possibly getting stuck along the way. So many ideas & voices sharing, contributing, reflecting. #collaborativepd
A3: Using @Flipgrid can be a great way to collaborate globally. Posting questions and doing backchanneling can be a great way to connect, collaborate and share! #collaborativePD#flipgridfever Setting up Google Classrooms can also be a benefit in sharing resources #GoogleEDU
A3 We can connect through Voxer discussions, other apps for talking/video like @Flipgrid write on a @padlet use Twitter, Google + communities #collaborativePD
A3: Obvious answers are chats similar to this & conferences but...we need to start collaborating more utilizing @Flipgrid & @SlackHQ & @PeriscopeCo along w/ other tools that could better connect us w/ our #PLN. #collaborativePD
A3: Have had success with Edmodo, World Wise Schools Peace Corps program FREE,
alumni who live abroad are great connections. #collaborativepd#globaled17
A3: Depending on where they are in the world it could be asynchronous. Here's a blog post about a project I did w/ a class in my district & a class in Australia. Totally asynchronous. https://t.co/1OcG6Lck1p#CollaborativePD
Oh man. I love Dot Day. And students do, too! What a great way to build connections with educators around the world, while also helping build empathy, self-awareness and curiosity... #CollaborativePD
A3 The Global Educator Conference that is happening right now is a great way to unite educators in global PLNs and PD. #CollaborativePDhttps://t.co/3WKbQCqDhN
A3 it is hard to know why is global pln because the internet makes connecting feel like anyone is in the room next to you. So collaborations are the same #CollaborativePD
A3b: I love looking at pictures of what of my global #PLN tweeps are doing in their classroom. It sparks ideas. Keep sharing on social media!!!! Please! #CollaborativePD
Thanks for taking part in tonight’s chat! Don’t forget to follow all the #CollaborativePD participants to grow your #PLN. And, join #globaled17 24/7 this week for more incredible #globaled sessions!
