    This site shows some simple ways of being able to start global collaborating in your classroom. My favorite advice is to pick something you are passionate about.

    Hi Sara! This is a great article that I think will be helpful for what I've chosen for my final project for Dr. Z's class which I hope to utilize in my own classroom. The last point in the article was really relateable for me, especially with the global collab project we just completed. It is important to realize that in a project like this, not everything can be controlled. I also really enjoyed the point about asking your students if they are comfortable with it. I think that we all experienced some discomfort in our project, so making sure students of a younger age are okay talking to strangers would be incredibly important.

    Hi! Thank you so much for sharing! I think that global collaboration projects are an amazing opportunity for kids to be able to participate in. It's amazing how much technology can do for us. I can't wait for the future generations to become adults :) What a different world it will be!

    1. I agree that this could be used in my own future classroom -- but it would be contingent on finding the right topic and group to collaborate with. 2. I think that the resource is mostly for teacher use as it provides an overview and tips/tricks for teachers. 3. Other resources that might want to be considered are the different websites shared by Dr. Z during class.

    I agree that this could be used in a classroom. This can be a good way to help students better understand a topic that they are learning at that time. I feel though it would be more for the teacher usage for a younger age. I feel that a global collaboration might be difficult for elementary students unless they work with anyone older than them in their district. Otherwise, I feel it would be a good experience for older students as well.

    This helps me organize my hashtags to find information.

    I've heard such good things from people that use TweetDeck! I haven't used it much myself but I definitely agree that it would be useful in my future classroom. The fact that both students and teachers can use it makes it even better to use in the classroom. Great share!

    1. I would use TweetDeck in my classroom in terms of finding and following people/organizations on Twitter. I personally do NOT want to follow my students on Twitter, however :-) 2. I think the resource is mostly for teacher use. While it could be used by students, I am not sure how I would integrate a tool like this into my classroom instruction (especially since I cannot control what is posted by others to make sure the information is appropriate to my audiences). 3. There are other resources that can do similar things - a cursory search of the App Store provides access to both free and paid alternatives.

    I can see this being used in the classroom to help send out updates on what is going on that day. I believe that this could be used best for teacher usage to mainly do pictures and to give recognition to someone that might have done something cool and unique that day.
