Global+Connections

This site is under construction/work in progress. I would like to create a list of educators around the world who might be willing to help students from around the world connect with each other and help each other out. This might be helping a group gather data on a particular topic from different parts of the world.

Had an idea at 1am - mulling over how I could get kids to connect as part of science - having them use the technology they have their finger-tips to investigate science related topics. If we could create a network of teachers around the world who would be willing to have their students gather data - first attempt at brainstorming came up with this list. Maybe **add to the list** and **pass this on to other people** to see if the idea will move forward.
 * 1) weight differences at different latitudes
 * 2) temperature differences at different latitiudes
 * 3) light intensity differences
 * 4) cost of iPad, toilet paper, food item, petrol,milk
 * 5) day length, sun rise, sun set down one longitude
 * 6) density of coins
 * 7) wattage +/or number of light bulbs at home
 * 8) Tide times/heights in different parts of the world
 * 9) could use google earth to record GPS co-ordinate
 * 10) effect of altitude on boiling point of water and other factors

The first link I have is from Anne Mirtschen
