Tasha Cowdy commented on Roxanne Toma's group K-2 2012 Building Bridges Team 1"Paula , thanks for attending the meeting -sorry I couldnt get cover for my class. Happy to make contact with your class. Skype wont work for us because of the time zones. My kids have communicating with K classes through twitter and google doc…"
Paula Rushia commented on Roxanne Toma's group K-2 2012 Building Bridges Team 1"My kids loved seeing all the handshakes this past week. We particularly enjoyed how different they were from each other. We have lots of questions for each group! Anyone interested in either emailing or skyping? We only have school on Mon/Tues this…"
Tasha Cowdy commented on Roxanne Toma's group K-2 2012 Building Bridges Team 1"Interested in eyejot but thinking realistically, Im not sure that I have time to learn a new tool right now. I will see if I can get to it. Sounds great but I am struggling to keep all my balls up in the air at the moment! Let me see how…"
Tasha Cowdy commented on Roxanne Toma's group K-2 2012 Building Bridges Team 1"Maybe you guys could decide on the materials for the game the children will create? I particularly like Paula's ideas of yarn and popsicle sticks, and would add a couple of pebbles! : ) (All things that are easily accessible, at least…"

Paula Rushia commented on Roxanne Toma's group K-2 2012 Building Bridges Team 1"5:30-6:30 pm EST. I'm not sure what our time difference is."
Tasha Cowdy commented on Roxanne Toma's group K-2 2012 Building Bridges Team 1"What time is the meeting on Sunday? For some reason it isn't on my calendar.

Paula Rushia commented on Roxanne Toma's group K-2 2012 Building Bridges Team 1"One more thought for today. I noticed Betsye mentioned eyejot.com. I checked it out and it seems like a great way to ask each other questions when we are in time zones that may not work for skype sessions. It's an apple based program,…"
Paula Rushia commented on Roxanne Toma's group K-2 2012 Building Bridges Team 1"Any possibilty we can all get to Sunday's meeting? It would be very productive if we could all chat together at one time in one of the breakout rooms. "
Paula Rushia commented on Roxanne Toma's group K-2 2012 Building Bridges Team 1"Hi All,
I agree with using Voicethread. My individual kids will have accounts tomorrow, so I'll be able to have them comment and then I'll go in as moderator (as Tasha suggested) to get them up.
Tomorrow we begin! We'll do our KWL…"
Profile Information
- Name:
- Roxanne
- About Me:
- I team teach with 7 other adults and about 75 students in a fantastic school in inner Melbourne. We are a Mac school, using a mix of Macbook Pros, Airs and iPads.
My personal philosophy is to better incorporate the four C's into my teaching and help my students become global citizens.

- Interest in Flat Classrooms
- This is my first time participating in Flat Classrooms. I hope that I can get my head around the requirements and assist other teachers in my school to take on the challenge in 2013.
I think it will be lots of fun and given the buzz I felt after the first BB meet, I'm confident this is going to be a great experience with a fantastic and inclusive bunch of teachers.
