(daughter's machine) Are you on twitter Valerie? yes vbek I'm mrs_banjer following you now. By the way, I'll be in Tanzania with Roots & Shoots and probably Jane for a couple of days in June. elemenous@gmail.com Lucy my email is web2.0explorer@gmail.com Mine is banjersinoz@hotmail.com opps We can here you!!! I think there are a few things out there for curriculum already, so we can draw from them and combine them. edit them, add them, etc. we hear u jen I lost my connection for a second Hello, wonderful Jen!! The best summer experience!!! vbecker@mac.com most definitely! Hi Linda noble@twbcanada.org and Ginger Hi all :) Feel free to introduce yourselves hello! I'm quite the newbie here, so may not say too much. Fiona, do you have headphones? hey ginger there's a lot of feedback Can you post the knowledge garden url too? Sorry yes daughter just putting them in for me Thanks! Check out www.rockourworld.org So we need more publicity? We've had lots of success with global projects. http://globalexplorers.wikispaces.com Do you mean a headphone with mic? Just headphones Pav, is what you are describing something we could add to the Google Doc? You don't need a mic necessarily more than what you're using i agree we can do that 1) Building a project with LOTE with teacher in Australia--no URL for that yet. I just talked to Westley - hoping he will join us http://campaigntrailcollaboration.wikispaces.com/ but for a longer term it would be to have a collection/list of projects/ what area/resource link etc... trying to work a bit with Hors Les Murs: http://horslesmurs.ning.com/ I can mention it in Scholastic.com Tech Tutor message board. Great, Gayle Link to Peter Evans description of Knowledgegarden http://www.usq.edu.au/learnteach/teach/exemplars/telexamples/knowgarden.htm Yes hi It also might be interesting to contact ISTE about a special interest group, and maybe have a "Birds of a feather" session in June Great idea, Valerie! Hello Linda! there is usually an international collaborative projects birds-of-a-feather at NECC Hi Fiona! I'm sure most of you are familiar with: www.rafi.ki if not check it out. Last year we did a panel discussion at ISTE I'm adding urls Hey Wes.. to the urls section Where are you Westley? For some reasson I am not seeing url do you see them? Hi Wes! Next to the vote tab? Oh someone mentioned SL earlier At what level? I know - but they ar not there What if we had a SL preseence? I'm interested in virtual worlds for primary age group, http://globaleducation.ning.com you are most welcomed in Skoolaborate http://globalexplorers.wikispaces.com http://globalexplorers.wikispaces.com http://www.usq.edu.au/learnteach/teach/exemplars/telexamples/knowgarden.htm http://www.skoolaborate.com http://campaigntrailcollaboration.wikispaces.com/ http://www.rockourworld.org http://www.rafi.ki ok - you have to have poop up windows allowed Hi Westley I saw a video on skoolaborate being used at MLC was that you? yes that is me poop up?? hehe Virtually famous, fabulous work! lol thanks Okay got it I totally agree That definitely does make sense diigo - don't get notification emails sent!!! from diigo! I call it "deee go" Yes diigo- I will make a group for us there if you would like Just did a Diigo meeting with creators last weekend Will Richardson and Scott Merrick are still battling about how to pronouce that. Will called it d-eye-go I think it's Deego thats what the creators said Presenting with will in a few weeks over here Scott...diiiiigo who knows Brisbane and Sydney I'll go to Brisbane one, where abouts? Thanks Lucy The Globe is mine ;-) I know that I was just talking to a lot of teachers who need step by step guides from very beginning. thanks to lucy gray = just found out about this via twitter These teachers want to start, but didn't even know Skype. hope we can schedule another one - would be very interested to join. just need to logout right now. Hi Rom Hi Guys- I have to run- we have company coming in. Keep me posted on what's going on! :) Okay CA see you bye CA bye bye happy trails Bye Valerie, see you on twitter. Rock On! bye! Yes great to meet you Fione I promise to get more involved in the GEC and will do what I can to promote it as well. Hubby's holler in other room. Good convo and questions. Don't ban me! some one collecting the url that are being posted? http://www.oxfam.org.uk/education/gc/files/education_for_global_citizenship_a_guide_for_schools.pdf i will and will send them out to all Great! thanks! We're all just classroom teachers!!!! I think the average classroom teacher isn't completely ready Podcasts get round that anyone I work with in other countries I tell them about the ning I think and organization like iEARN that could help us get the word out IEARN is a great idea Valerie same here Do any of you belong to iEarn? Not necessarily backward but Queensland schools block SO MANY things in the name of safe surfing Their teacehrs are from al over the world and are already engaging in Global collaboration projects, so they are wired and TIG I can contact Ed Gragert if we are interested sure I was an IEARN member - but now I am on my own - okay, i'll reconnect Is anyone familiar with IMS Global Learning Consortium? also ePALS is now free it woul also help to reach out through international schools networks I bet Julie Lindsay would have some ideas for that I have been finding International schools to be a great way to connect Totally agree .... the time issue http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pfr2_hjQxlJYE3HkIfEu3XA You mean like Twitter! LOL This is just low on the priority list Understandably Twitter is perfect for connecting interesting point! It's about the audience! And, Lucy...there are lots of countries with good Internet access...but there really are lots of countries that just don't have the access and/or the bandwidth. Thus, some ideas for the cell phones they are using, but that is not ideal for many projects. I wonder if there is a way for the global ning to have a translater? I've wondered about that breatking the dominance of English I agree that we don't want to duplicate the efforts of other organizations. We should make a group for people who would be willling to be translators I find Africa, South and Central America countries generally missing from collaborations I am working with schools which are communicating in their native languages Need to promote Ning with hierarchy of Education departments. yes, Linda! Does anyone have any connections there? that's a great idea, Lucy - human translators are always better than the machine tools! http://www.magpi.net/programs/ Linda I am collaborating with Colombia OOooo- would you be able to pass on the connection? Linda I have but at this point the teacher hasn't joined Hoping to travel there this summer and will definitely talk to staff there Where are the quesitons again The questions are really basic who are you where do you work have you participated in a prjoect yet What time of the day can you participate how did you find out about us Curricular interest....grade level they are...? great idea - re recources Are these open ended questions? If so, I'd be interested to know what global education means to the participants. We should ask for a brief response here. List of Resources What difficluties have you experienced what strategies have worked for you "Global" resources great Westley Could you post ning url please http://globaleducation.ning.com/ http://globaleducation.ning.com Thanks Might be nice to have the difficulties listed and then have the opportunitiy for people to make suggestions on how they got around those difficulties yes - What are the necessary implications for practice when conducting online, cross-cultural projects in classrooms? collaborative answers I think an organized list where everyone is from in case people are looking for specific places elemenous@gmail.com What about a list of local contacts to give help or pd? That is what has been missing - that field must be filled - I believe that you can make it mandatory banjersinoz@hotmail.com westley@mac.co m cool thanks project implicaton activities - what goes on in the life of a project Lucy and others...I think if we could make the home page cleaner...with less text, etc., it might grab people better. There is a lot to read on the home page. Images too lvnitsche@gmail.com I'm afraid people won't dig in And, Lucy....yes, I know I'm talking a lot...I think you should go back to what are the main goals of the Ning. I thought that as well, a lot of text. Can text size be increased? If you go back to your main goals, then take a fresh look at the big picture. We can make a custom search with Google custom search tool The groups page has a simple look and is engaging You think there are not that many members, but I think it has grown hugely very quicly!! quickly I would like softer colors on the page. I have a hard time focusing in on the bright colors. I can't find things easily. brb Great ideas everyone We should have a project template totally making sense Can a twitter like app be included to show benefits of global collaboration? time is really important - both encouraging people to post their timeframe/timeline for the project, and is it possible to have an events calendar? Okay...Jen and Emily...I think you two are great resources for what is aready out there that we don't need to reinvent...gobal schoolhouse, etc. for finding partners. yes Emily - that is a great idea please look at www.rafi.ki because it gives you what you are looking for...you can connect by topic, learning outcomes, location, etc. and it is FREE for all schools outside of the U.K. Yes cool, i will take a look. Thanks, Mike My visitor, Manoj, is on rafi.ik... funny I know rafi - it is great Meebo blocked here I think we also need a way - thus global ning - to initiate your own projects Adding web2.0 tools is a great idea. I'll have a badge! I have a badge Thank you for feeling the pain meebo is blocked here too! I have also put us on the eduwiki.us.wikispace If only Lucy knew something about web 2.0 tools... ;-) Totally kidding. lol http://fcit.usf.edu/matrix/index.html problems conneccting Jen? You were on? very sorry people but must fix this network will watch the lot later thanks Okay take care W bye westley thanks for coming Bye Westley, great to meet you bye take care - love to all Yes I'm not getting it.
