The ISTE Games & Simulations Network, ISTE Mobile Learning Network and ISTE Global Collaboration Network are collaborating on a scheduled multilingual tweetchat that anyone can join. Come learn what we learned from putting on a 30 minute synchronous and 24 hour slow tweetchat that went out in 3 languages but grew to 8 languages. We will also discuss the threefold purpose of the #globalgamechat. Its purpose is to 1) have educators sharing information in the language of their choice 2) broaden the discussion of games for change, social action and global understanding 3) give educators and their students an opportunity to participate in a multilingual event.
