A1: Because Ss are already connecting outside the classroom.
A1: they will be living and competing in a global community, the world has gotten smaller through the use of technology
A1: The world is connected now, it'd be foolish to ignore that in the classroom.

Good morning, I'm the Hillsborough, NJ Supt and longtime fan of Scott and Brad
A1: I keep hearing about modern isolation, using the classroom to connect is more important than ever.
A1) Tech connects us, but Ss need purposeful, authentic ways to use connections to explore the world & be problem solvers
A1: What ever possessed us to develop a school model where children confined to a classroom?
Just finished! You will LOVE it!
A1 -kids will work and learn with others from around the world. We all do rt now. School should be no different
A1: There's SO much that happens beyond our walls. Tech is shrinking the world & Ss need to understand how to live in the new space
A1: they need a wider view of the world. Learning does not happen in isolation.
A1) we need to connect students to the world around us so that they can grow in understanding of other people and cultures.
Glad to meet you. A1 needs to rise in a collective chorus 4 global voice.
A1- for students to be competitive in the world market in their life they now have to learn at a global level. Student success!
Great to have you joining from Argentina
I believe that's 5 countries in the chat today!!!

A1: Allows them to become better aware of other cultures. Allows them connect/learn with other Ss who might not look like them
A1. Being global minded helps increase cultural competence. We grow curiosity when students realize the world is bigger than home!
Good morning . Jen, assistant principal in Clayton, NC
Social media has broadened their worlds for sure!
A1: When I taught in Venezuela, we couldn't go on field trips due to safety. Connecting globally provided diff view points to Ss.
Hi ππ» from cold,windy and flash flooding east of Sydney! ββπ§
The same reason we are: collaboration w/ peers validates our thinking (what's right) & provides us other perspectives. (1-2)
What is a room but four wals...so much exsists outside of those walls...tear down the walls!
A1 We live in a global world, where ppl connect with and learn from each other. We need to model that in our schools
A1:Ss will not remain w/in our walls forever; they must be prepared to compete, endure, & take on challenges globally. We owe them.
A1: The power of education has always been to connect people to the world within and outside of our experience & understanding.
A1) To show Ss that learning extends beyond the four walls of the classroom + can reach across the globe. https://t.co/USoRvTBKdg
Q1: Why do we need to connect our students to the world beyond our classrooms?
Connecting & Collaborating w/those outside of the classroom is how problems will get solved

A1: My Kinders find it fascinating that other kids are learning the same thing
A1- Showing our students the opportunities outside the classroom makes the learning in class more meaningful
it is the world in which they are being molded to engage in! Productive citizens.

https://t.co/m5IDtiPH5h

A1: Connected our Ss builds EMPATHY. One of the pillars of global edu.
A1: The world is our classroom. connecting children beyond their shores, broadens their thinking in a way a text book can not.
Exactly. Putting a Skype session together doesn't make us connected. Solving a problem together makes connections
Exactly https://t.co/mCMFWUMgA7
Let's try it the other way around. Why would you NOT want to connect your students to the world? A1
All about making those connections, real word experience!
A1: Also great model for collaboration in future careers...not all coworkers will be local, how to work together when not together.
A1 cont'd. Remember it should not just be students but school leaders need to be global too#lead4kids
A1: Students must learn empathy and gain perspective from other students. This will make the world a better place.
A1: F2f comm. as unique means of learning with others doesn't even compute to young learners of today. Stay current & competitive.
A1 Look at this Chat China, Italy...many places represented! The world is a tiny place now...we must embrace that!
A1: Really, ? Does this question really need to be qualified with an answer?
A1: Our classrooms must connect our students to the world so that students are knowledgeable & ready to interact globally.
And as the cliche goes 'the smartest person in the room is the room'
Our room must expand beyond the 4 walls of our schools
is strong when we give our Ss choice. A1
Good morning . Just found you scrolling in my feed. Pauline tech integrator from Maine.
Wow, that's a great point.
A1: To teach Ss how to collaborate and connect. To understand there are ppl out there w/great thoughts and ideas
Good morning! Julie from Indiana, teacher of second graders:)
A1: Students should understand that we are globally interdependent and explore rich cultures
A1: explorers, map-makers, conquerors have always been; global geo-politics has always been, now it is faster!
To young students, this is their normal. We adults are the ones that needed convincing https://t.co/86xbIeWyZj
Social media has broadened their worlds for sure!
A1: We are a global society, global economy, globally communicate. Why shouldn't our students learn globally?
A1 - Connecting enables the kids to see what is out there beyond what they can see- kids don't watch news or travel must fill gap
We are doing a with our kinders and a school from Norway. They didn't understand that other people learn english
Hi everyone. Sandi from NJ. Grt topic today. Presenting on this topic at today. Not in Kansas Anymore!
A1: To help prepare them for global citizenship. The same reason we love , to connect with others around the world.
I would love to see more classes skype each other and help our Ss see that connection
A1 The world becomes smaller everyday and we need to teach/model how to work with a global community because that is what we are
A1: YES! Ss need to lead now w/ servant leadership locally & lead globally via sharing work https://t.co/EdouZqsq5r
A1. If we wait until Ss become adults to prepare them for the real world, it will be too late. Additionally, it will hurt society.
A1: Enhances their perspective, builds empathy, awakens opportunity. We live in a connected world -
A1 Also allows Ss (esp the teens) to see they are not alone in their thoughts/ feelings
A1: Build the awareness of the variety of ways there are to be in the world...my/our way isn't everyone's way!
A1. Student motivation increases when they become aware of how much there is to explore in this world. Exposure is everything!
A1 Haven't T's always aimed to "connect our S's to the world" because that's what learners do? The media may change; not mission.
Good morning Dene! Thanks for joining
A1 - OUR KIDS time will mostly be spent outside of our rooms, preparing them and making connections will plant the seeds they need
Yes, purposeful is so important....Ss need to see there is a purpose behind what we do, helps with the buy in!
Exactly - but so many still stick to the contrived old school model https://t.co/Qkh0GQk3VG
All about making those connections, real word experience!
A1: through advancing technology, we are able to reach the world more easily than ever before. Ss need to be global citizens.
A1: To serve our community & our world, our students must first be connected to it. Education can help do that.
It's the ceiling and the floor that worry me more than the walls. Kids need mud between toes; to see sun, moon, & stars.
Yes, & if they don't know that difft cultures can work very differently than their own, they'll b at a disadvantage
A1 Globalconnectiveness something I couldnt imagine when their age in late 70's Ss reality will be working w/ppl from around world.
I totally agree with that! Students have to learn from their personal experiences and make those connections
A1: the person in the room is not their only teacher, now or ever. Get connected; create lifelong and global learning skills
A1: If they don't learn it in our schools, they will learn it elsewhere. We must be relevant https://t.co/VIf6xMhrV2
Love this! https://t.co/Exo2XUhraf
A1:Ss will not remain w/in our walls forever; they must be prepared to compete, endure, & take on challenges globally. We owe them.
A1: Ss work harder to display their best work to the world, to make a REAL difference, than trying for a decent grade to Ts.
Important all stakeholders have the opportunity to see benefits of the countless resources available outside the classroom
A1: Closed off classrooms that do not reach out and connect globally do not create Ss prepared for the diversity the world offers
This is so important! https://t.co/uMWAF1Z9E8
A1- Showing our students the opportunities outside the classroom makes the learning in class more meaningful
What a great real world experience for your students! I am sure that they are having fun and learning a lot!
A plus statement to build social emotional connections Brad. A1
Sorry I'm jumping in late! Dee from NJ here... MS STEM teacher! Eager to connect and learn
They LOVE it! Those are the best units, they are so engaged!
Strange that as connecting options grow the more isolated thoughts and options become ...
I think it also reminds US as Ts to see the bigger picture. That the privilege of educating minds does not rest on us alone
A1: global empathy is the best antidote to destructive extremism; the earlier S's learn it, the better for us all
I love this! It's not about the technology but what we DO with the technology that counts.It's just a tool
This!!!! Sometimes it's the adults who don't get it. Ss already live in global world. https://t.co/5z7ydwAkPJ
A1 cont'd. Remember it should not just be students but school leaders need to be global too#lead4kids
Cultural awareness also. Debunk the myths by connecting classes around the globe!
Yes! Seeing this now as part of Genius Hour projects and blogging. They're putting so much effort into what they share!
A1: My students can learn so much from learners better than they learn from the teachers.
A1: We also need to connect our students because it helps us connect as educators/leaders as well!
That leads to some amazing virtual field trips! :)
Thank you. Giving authentic experiences to students is important when building global perspectives.
thank you and if we can help solve community issues/weaknesses along the way it's a double win
we're all in this together - provides a new perspective from which to learn! (ok really leaving for the pool!)
Totally agree! Found that Mystery Skype is a grt lesson for both geography and culture exploration.
A1 Globalizing the curriculum: Essential to 21st century learning. Allows Ss to connect & develop greater appreciation for others
YES- can be a powerful agent of change. A1
A1: we used the Racing to Extinction's One Thing idea to challenge Ss to make a difference beyond the classroom. Excellent!
A1 When Ss share their work on authentic tasks with the world, they connect with a global audience. More buy-in
A1: A checklist for high schoolers to have a seal on their transcript that declares them βglobal citizens:β https://t.co/gJn9mqWLRT
A1 many kids/people are connecting but they are connecting in seclusion ... only focusing on like interest ... not expanding
A1: We are no longer confined by the borders of our communities.
A1: teachers by nature are egocentric. Up to us to show them what exists beyond their communities.
A1: Many Ss are digitally connected-but need 2 learn benefits beyond gaming! Ss who are not connected, need to be given = access
Despite counter-revolutionaries from to the world is growing together A1. We must help our kids be part
Good point! https://t.co/XGYTxspQMe
A1 Haven't T's always aimed to "connect our S's to the world" because that's what learners do? The media may change; not mission.
A1: The possibilities are endless. We mystery skyped this yr to compare 1st gr classes around the US. Got them out of their bubble
The factory model is just not working for our students any more, one time yes, but we have to change with the times!
A1: Ss need to see relevance to what they are learning. We need to use real-life application as a framework for our classrooms.
A1: Its important for students to connect globally to develop collaboration skills, communication & understanding, & citizenship
This sounds interesting. Can you please share a link perhaps or explain it?
Agreed. My middle school Ss and my own kids feel very isolated sat times. https://t.co/fqXZEgBc99
A1 Also allows Ss (esp the teens) to see they are not alone in their thoughts/ feelings
Yes! https://t.co/lIBsjsfxHK
And as the cliche goes 'the smartest person in the room is the room'
Our room must expand beyond the 4 walls of our schools
because its easy and comfortable on my island. I'm not stretched.
Q2: How do we teach our students to be good "global citizens?"
Yessss!!! And it is also a matter of acknowledging the similarities and difference between worlds
Q2: How do we teach our students to be good "global citizens?"
Great point! https://t.co/4AmR5M5iNW
A1 many kids/people are connecting but they are connecting in seclusion ... only focusing on like interest ... not expanding
Yes! We're seeing a lack of empathy in our world today. Needs to be actively taught....
A1 because that is how the real world works. Also different parts of the world have various views on situations
A1: some Ss have never left their community. Some Ts are stuck in their classrooms.
A1) students will understand they are apart of something bigger than themselves.
Good morning. Kevin Cullen from in New Jersey: Middle School Assistant Principal
That's a great point. Similar prob w/ adults. We find our "tribes" but need to expand beyond that to continue learning.
Cultural Proficiency is key! More than aware - I see you, I welcome you
A1. Soft skills and social skills can be improved by working w/ others who are different than us. If your circle is a mirror...
A2. We teach them to be globally literally and proficient by engaging them in activities that require global perspectives & impact.
Agreed! Authentic experiences for Ss to lead, learn, & share their work is vital to our livelihood globally https://t.co/Rpo5Zexwim
A1: Ss work harder to display their best work to the world, to make a REAL difference, than trying for a decent grade to Ts.
You got that right Carol!
it's a great reminder for posting, tweeting, blogging etc.
A1: To let Ss see the world beyond their own community, especially important for children with very limited background knowledge
A1: We owe it to our children to all be more connected and less fragmented.
A1 the world is getting smaller! We need to show Ss how to be respectful and safe as they connect and share globally
So true... and full of exciting opportunities
Absolutely! Having an authentic audience makes an enormous difference in how we all approach our work
Also leads to Ss advocating for others and for a cause they are passionate about. Global citizenship.
Tear down classroom walls
students sharing learning to inspire others
connect w real world tools
A2 Starts with helping them see themselves as part of their school community, then local, national, global https://t.co/rOwabxHluS
Q2: How do we teach our students to be good "global citizens?"
access is so important - some have, some don't. How might we advocate for all students so it's an equal playing field?
A2. Expose Ss to the global world , this can be easily done through technology. We model positive & meaningful interaction.
Yes! The classroom can be a lonely world if you don't branch out as T's too.
A2 Trial & error, mostly. Learn from the missteps we and others make.
A2 LEAD BY EXAMPLE! Show Ss to power of the internet, use it wisely be sure to model the importance of healthy digital footprint
Need to be taught........ right ? https://t.co/RppQMQQvff
A1: Many Ss are digitally connected-but need 2 learn benefits beyond gaming! Ss who are not connected, need to be given = access
Agreed! It is our responsibility to foster and build global thinkers! https://t.co/UeFIMSDep8
A1: Closed off classrooms that do not reach out and connect globally do not create Ss prepared for the diversity the world offers
A1 because real learning takes place when students are able to connect the dots between what we are teaching + their lives
A1: I grew up with neighborhood schools. We were never pushed to reach beyond our own area. Now we the world is our neighborhood!
Sorry I'm late . Trying to get ready for Unified basketball game today. Lisa, MS Principal. NY. Upstate NY. Way upstate.
A2: Model it when connecting online. Demonstrate politeness, good questioning, active listening, building understanding.
A2. The consequence of only being able to work and learn with those who are just like you is limiting. Remove the glass ceiling!
In our makerspace, students benefit greatly from seeing that the skills they gain have real-world applications.
yes ... we expand our tribe with like members ... rarely do we let those who disagree in
I think about my 4yo son and how he has been learning to work with others since he was put into daycare. Still bossy!
A2: Human centered Design Thinking. Taking an empathetic approach to understand and better the lives of others.
Absolutely! I do and blogging with my Ss & it has definitely expanded their horizons :) https://t.co/hwJ5gzueGP
Yes! Seeing this now as part of Genius Hour projects and blogging. They're putting so much effort into what they share!
A1: students need to see what's available to them outside of the four walls of their school in today's society!
It's an opportunity to teach how to disagree and discuss kindly- great point!
A2: You need to model it. Students don't understand that their posts last forever.
While we may represent a culture or space, entertain other cultures, model appreciation, global respect. https://t.co/1aouQK9fO5
Q2: How do we teach our students to be good "global citizens?"
A2: By teaching our students respect and tolerance, just the same as we would teach them good character skills in our schools.
A. Show Ss that they are a major part of the global community. It's not them and me, it's us. We all have something to offer.
A1: Ss already have access to the world through social media. Ts need to leverage that connection for edu purposes.
Yes- and giving them experiences to be global citizens and coaching along the way! https://t.co/Blm6rZkIuh
A2 Starts with helping them see themselves as part of their school community, then local, national, global https://t.co/rOwabxHluS
Q2: How do we teach our students to be good "global citizens?"
Ss need to see and exp differ societies of people. Rid the world of racism & hate
A2 Need to be role models. Kids learn from adult actions. Build global awareness days into curriculum. https://t.co/viaTNtw2Ps
And sometimes someone else's way may be better. We can learn from each other
A2: Model......provide opportunities......model.......
A1) Develops students understanding of diversity and tolerance. & provides new
building their connections and developing that real world experience is key. Applied learning provides sticking power
A2 Letting Ss know we all come to the "game" w/different rules & sometimes the enjoyment isnt in winning, but just in playing
A2: Lead by example, share stories, give them opps. to "talk" to others around the world.
A2: Simulations & inquiry-based role play are good starts for S's to understand needs & concerns of people in other places
They need to learn that being duiverse is a gd thing, not everything in life should be "my way"
A2) best way to teach is to "do," think outside the box,take risks,break the molds,check out (he models this daily)
A2) Model, model, model. Provide opps to engage in global learning and develop skills. Did I say model? https://t.co/D1MqKej8bh
Q2: How do we teach our students to be good "global citizens?"
The more you travel the more you realize how little you know of the world https://t.co/AupIe48Whk
A1: the person in the room is not their only teacher, now or ever. Get connected; create lifelong and global learning skills
A1 When students get to college, international study is available...making global connections removes fear of the unknown for kids
A2: Set the example and allow opportunities for authentic interactions.
Sympathy vs. Empathy..... discuss a lot with Ss.
A2: by helping them to define & understand what a good global citizen is - actions / thoughts / attitudes; then emulate & practice
A2: Always show empathy. Always be willing to understand global citizens are not comfort-seeking. They always are not ego driven.
A2 Allowing them opportunities to connect with other classrooms outside their walls provides great opportunity for this.
we don't add members who do not agree or challenge thought process ... see this in adults and spreads to kids
A1 If we work in virtual teams work w/ ppl from several different countries & cultures - that's the world we need 2 prepare them 4.
A2 - Modeling what global citizenship looks like. More importantly, asking them how they I'll do this is a great classroom talk
A2: Model, guide, practice
A2: Modeling! Show our Ss how to be global citizens, opportunities to try it out! Taking risks together!
Inviting experts into our makerspace helsps our Ss make connections beyond the walls of our school https://t.co/MdMMByZ0R6
A2: helping them learn to be good citizens to themselves and their peers is foundational.Using current events can be a spring board.
For some students, connecting classrooms is the only exposure to diversity outside of small communities. Makes it even more imp!
A2teaching diversity and collaboration even with my first graders build awareness and encourages participation with other cultures
Agreed, but often schools push worksheets instead of this method. https://t.co/tcmYBNEzyB
Agreed! Authentic experiences for Ss to lead, learn, & share their work is vital to our livelihood globally https://t.co/Rpo5Zexwim
A1: Ss work harder to display their best work to the world, to make a REAL difference, than trying for a decent grade to Ts.
A2" "Global citizen" is an oxmoron, and a frightening concept when looked at critically. Cannot be a citizen of abstract space/idea
A2: Show curiosity & follow up. curiosity to learning to engaging...Show them, warts & all, they will follow & blaze new trails.
A2: Same way we teach everything. Starts w/ MODELING. We must engage ourselves and be transparent as global citizens
This! https://t.co/ulr078DetR
A2: Model it when connecting online. Demonstrate politeness, good questioning, active listening, building understanding.
A2 Global citizenship begins with empathy. Broadening perspective is the first step to broadening understanding
A2: Become a global educator! Check out https://t.co/7Ud8hkT53e Teachers for Global Classrooms! Best experience of my prof. career!
A2 the world continues the get smaller as technology advances, students have to know how to interact on a world level
A2: Model, model, model. Using tools like social media doesn't just open learning to families, but potentially the whole world!
A2)We must model being good global citizens for students allow them to see us interacting with people different than ourselves.
By example - transparency. Show students our Twitter stream of this conversation. We must model what we want/expect. Walk the talk!
Parent from CT sneaking in. What an important topic!
There will be times when others aren't "good" global citizens, and we need to help Ss deal with that, too https://t.co/l1rLM8Vz4n
A2: Model it when connecting online. Demonstrate politeness, good questioning, active listening, building understanding.
A2 - they will struggle as "global" citz unless they possess intercultural competence. It's a key Probably needed here too
the elsewhere can be bad places & bad people
A2: My concern is it's more than digital citizenship. So I wrote this post:
10 Ways to Digital Decency https://t.co/nt6LNsri78
we can have thousands of connections but how many are truly "different"
A2. It helps us move beyond tolerance to an appreciation for diversity. Appreciation is far more satisfying than tolerance.
Our Ss are discovering free university education in Europe & suddenly dreaming of new possibilities
A2: One way we can teach students to be global citizens is by modeling benefits of connectedness. Participating on is an example.
This couldn't be more timely. https://t.co/ZQq2I90ty3
A1: global empathy is the best antidote to destructive extremism; the earlier S's learn it, the better for us all
Totally agree! Did project with HS Ss and HS Ss in Hong Kong. Views of Revolutionary War is different.
A2: Explore, participate and share
A2: Start early. We blog & tweet as a class in Kinder. Talk about what to say and is it helpful and respectful
A2 By always including a variety of cultural examples in our teaching
Hmmm...being a citizen of the world is not so abstract, perhaps "steward" is a better word?
A2: Teach them the importance of empathy and that what they do in the world matters.
A2) we should learn about other with our students. If we want our students to learn about others we have to as well.
A2: To get them involved in local issues. Dr. King began locally, and then expanded to global concerns.
YES! https://t.co/NnJfzqZrqB
A2: by helping them to define & understand what a good global citizen is - actions / thoughts / attitudes; then emulate & practice
A1: to help foster a better understanding of global competencies (collaboration, creativity, citizenship etc).
A2, model, model and model
A2: Focus on respect, responsibility, empathy & compassion. Not just a global set of skills but a local set as well.
SO true. Living in London + travel shaped my perspective on US + world; I want every Amer. to visit 3rd world country!
Diversity is so important https://t.co/h3MnkSjAiS
A1: Closed off classrooms that do not reach out and connect globally do not create Ss prepared for the diversity the world offers
A2 By having honest discussions about what citizenship means on ever-expanding levels, building that into authentic projects
Nice to see you this morning! Parent is one hat... you have so many! Happy Saturday and almost summer!
A2: by providing opportunities and modeling.
A2 Global citizenship is MORE than just digital citizenship. It is compassion for others, animals and our planet
You're right. There's always a reflection and feedback after we connect. We set a goal of how to improve next time around.
A1:The world has become increasingly connected and it is important to emphasize the value of learning from and respecting others.
A2: We can't just talk the talk. When we start to walkπ£they're watchingπ ...our example speaks louder than our voice
A2: Show them your own digital footprint
one of my Ss studied the Kennedy assassination in her genius hour. She learned SO much
Then we connect our classes & practice with them through google hangouts, Twitter chats, Skype, etc.
I completely agree! I'm excited to read your post.
A2: Seek out great examples of global citizens and see what characteristics they possess are two I used
A2: teaching digital citizenship and provide cultural awareness. Ss need to understand that what we do may offend others.
When we connect our ss, they see their place in the global community. The walls of the classroom are down. https://t.co/pQT5HcWMEB
A2: Ts must model this behavior 1st and move from our secluded close minded ways. Global citizenship is action oriented.
We need our students working across global boundaries consistently as part of the everyday curriculum A2 do math with Brasil
A2 a citizen is defined as the place in which you're from, our Ss are from this "globe" and they need to know how thrive in it
A2 Not sure modeling it is enough, but not fully sure what comes next - though I agree that digital citizenship is important
A2. This is something we are talking about in my workshop now. modeling, and reflecting on what we post and others post
Oh! My name is Katherine, I teach 4th grade Language Arts at an international school in the Dominican Republic. Glad to be here!
A2: In context. Connect w/edus in other places to collaborate & prep a virtual project of any length. (day/week/semester/?)
Hello there! Hope all is well!
A2: Be global citizens ourself which is a daunting task when curriculum doesn't involve cultural competency
How do you mean? In what makes defines the term "global citizen" whose beliefs, whose customs? Thanks.
A2- DOK questioning and discussions for students at Levels 3 and 4. students challenged and given global tools. Social media 4 sure!
A2 invite parents or community stakeholders into the classroom to share. Also GHO or Skype others in
Yes indeed. Connections, it's also a reading strategy! π https://t.co/mLcYoiFOdd
A2: One way we can teach students to be global citizens is by modeling benefits of connectedness. Participating on is an example.
I think you forgot to say "model"
I talk about my PLN and being connected!
A1) We're in the growth business, and the consequence of non-connectivity is terrifying. https://t.co/FTRZWxLgCp
Q1: Why do we need to connect our students to the world beyond our classrooms?
Even "steward" doesn't work beyond local actions. We slide into colonial thinking when we extend "our" local to global.
Like going to a game and rooting for the home team ... sometimes makes us delusional ... false sense of grandeur
A2:"Personal excellence" & "responsible citizenship" are part of our mission. When Ss become their best selves, our world benefits.
A2 Before connecting we research the country and community of Ss we'll be talking with- having some understanding helps us
Wish I could be at with you all this morning, but taking daughter to swimming class.
What's the deal with ? Could somebody fill me in, because I'd like to know!
A2 use technology to bring other Ss to the classroom. The old pen pal idea. Collaborate w/ other countries create a focus and share
A2.2 Start w/shared agreements about what being a good citizen means in the community. Then, add digital layers.
A2. When we appreciate differences we are lead by our curiosity and not our fear. We recognize the human condition is common.
Or kids must learn global citizenship... because they are global citizens. We and they carry that responsibility.
Too kind good sir. Got a great staff and student body that "believe and want more!" https://t.co/MNIEhZwWTo
A2) best way to teach is to "do," think outside the box,take risks,break the molds,check out (he models this daily)
Late this morning to . Had to get daughter to SATs. Brian, HS principal from Mass.
Great point. That is the very reason it's built into our action plan https://t.co/uLm8hsVTtc
For some students, connecting classrooms is the only exposure to diversity outside of small communities. Makes it even more imp!
a2, be global ourselves. E.g. Intentionally create a more international twitter for yourself
A2: If you're not doing it don't expect your students to do it.
A2: "think global, act local"
Good morning. Doug from central pa- librarian. Just a bit tardy
A2: YES! We must also elevate our Ss to participate in such connected experiences as well. https://t.co/C71lc1r7i6
A2: One way we can teach students to be global citizens is by modeling benefits of connectedness. Participating on is an example.
all those skills mention can lead to local and global appreciation for sure.
A2: I've had a former student lurk and like some of my tweets in this chat!
Yes, gives them a much more meaningful reason to work
Exactly! We must follow our own advice!
To me being a global citizen means feeling as much a part of all humanity as just my country or culture.
A2: TALK! How often do we discuss global events/global awareness with our Ss? Find the time and the topic whenever we can
Have you connected with ? https://t.co/Ufh38Y7pwk
A2: Start early. We blog & tweet as a class in Kinder. Talk about what to say and is it helpful and respectful
and Ts need to be connected to model good examples
Exactly. Tech allows us to make connections with others across the globe, so that we can then make a difference
yep or surrounding ourselves with people that make us comfortable because it feeds the ego...easier that way
How do you think we can help teachers who are modeling this to understand the importance of being globally connected?
A2: This week I held 2 sessions & afterwards, we shared about our cultures. My hope: exposure = tolerance = empathy
Agree
Old way = teach about cultures we read about
New way = learn with cultures we connect with
https://t.co/PMGLM68ylg
A2) we should learn about other with our students. If we want our students to learn about others we have to as well.
80's were the best of times right
Interesting TED by Teacher John Hunter teaching global citizenship through World Peace Game https://t.co/B1qxm4oxY0

A2: also teaching the power of words. 4th graders discussed "Third World country" vs "Developing Nation"
A2 using blog feature to intro respectful and responsible blogging and commenting as we connect w/other global classrooms
That's the point--who defines "global citizen," a dangerously abstract word that's being bandied about?
We should not be teaching tolerance. We should be teaching appreciation. There is a stark difference.
A3) I connect my teachers and students with classrooms around the globe. Allowing them to interact via Mystery Skype & other ways.

A2 Working at an international school means you get to model what true tolerance, respect, and love means to students
late to the party, but here I am! Good morning all!
I would suggest we get kids truly aware of local world around them, build empathy, and work from there.
I also like to play devils advocate and play both sides of the argument ... Im a SS teacher it is what I do

Only way to change is fix our behavior locally--make kids aware of where things come from, where they go.

Modeling can kick off virtuous cycle of reflecting, celebrating successes, adjusting after face-plants.
A2: By modeling. Walk the walk, as well as talking the talk. Open up new possibilities as the teacher/educator.
What's the current question?
Design thinking challenge as a staff, create manifesto, change vocab. Remove CYBOs! https://t.co/RkO4plMEGp

Ss exposed to global problems and creating solutions.
What problem do you want to solve when you grow up?
Our big goals are assessments, service learning projects & instructional revisions.
You can be empathic, you can be a good citizen, I believe impossible to do so at "global" level, confuses kid to pretend
ask to Skype with classrooms just to let kids talk to each other
A3 Had an amazing experience sharing artwork through International project within Minecraft EDU w/ & .
Biggest fear was missing the SAT. Thank God my bestie waking me up. π΄
. Somewhat related...I watched the Martian last night and it was amazing.

A3 I like looking at historical events from multiple cultural perspectives...one culture's hero is another's villain!
A4. Since ppl of other cultures are migrating everywhere, Ss need to know and appreciate the diverse cultures and traditions.
BYOT: kids doing the work of the real world with real tools, making it real---relevant!
A3: We have over 40 different languages spoken in my one high school alone, Would luv 2 connect outside cntry
I'd like kids to learn to be together. That's what will change the world
But solutions without awareness are incredibly dangerous--we've bombed babies using that logic.

We need to help Ss see the power of the tool for the greater good of expanding learning anytime anywhere https://t.co/8fQedKU6A0

A4 We must pop the bubble we live in to bring other cultures into our instruction for ALL subjects at ALL grade levels.
A4. Yes starting early allows for exposure to meaningful global learning. Ss start to see themselves in the global community.
I give my Ts reflection time instead of fac meetings throughout year.Why don't more leaders do this?
So true. Every day actions of T's are what S's learn most from, not just words coming out of their mouth. https://t.co/nsi41kR8NG
We have to be the examples because many students only have us as their guides https://t.co/l9HXsLrAH0

A3. In LB we created a Student Leadership & Innovation Team. We have invited guests from all over to engage the group. Ages 7-70

Q4: Should global citizenship be taught in all subjects/grades?

I hope I'm in a classroom in the fall to partake in the
A4: Global citizenship isn't something that should be taught in isolation. Needs to be incorporated into all subject areas
A4: In 2016 how can it NOT be taught? We have to be responsible for making our Ss connected on some level-it's the world we live in
Our ideas a community (1980s) are much difernt today. We except/embrace that what does community mean now?
We encourage Ts to share their Hangouts. We record the connections on a map. Very impressive to see our global reach!
A4 Yes! Think of all the opportunities they could have connecting globally about topics they are learning in all subjects!
students presented at a conf this week in Korea. Global learning can impact a rural community https://t.co/wNHOORTd3E
