I have some French teacher friends. If you have a quick introduction email I can forward it. Please send it to bjoern@supercoolschool.com<br />
<br />
Regarding the tool - I can offer you a free version of <a href="http://www.supercoolschool.com" target="_blank">Supercool School</a>. It allows you to do video conversations in virtual classroom with whiteboards and other fun features.<br />
<br />
cheers,<br />

I used class time with my students. I also assigned it as homework but that did not go so well. When you answer as a group you can send your replies at once what makes the exchange easier. It cost time but it is worth it. My year end feedback was overwhelming positive. They loved it. It made language learning real and just by reading the responses they learn so much more about the culture and cultural differences then just reading about it in a book.

Hi Michelle,<br />
<br />
For Video Conferencing, I recommend you take a look at <a href="http://www.wiziq.com/tour/online-educational-platform-teachers-learners.aspx">Wiziq's</a> virtual classroom and <a href="http://www.authorstream.com">authorstream's</a> power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service. Here’s a public class recording conducted by Nellie Deutsch on Technology Integration.<br />

Michelle,<br />
I also have had luck using ePals, but there are a few tricks to finding a partner class. Because there are so many classes from the U.S. on the site, you can't wait for a contact, you need to seek it out. I would use the "connect - search by map" menu and click on France. Then scroll through the most recent profiles (they will be looking for partners too) and send messages to a few that might be a good match. Give a brief idea of your objectives and see if you get any takers that…

Hi, I am a Middle School Spanish teacher interested in starting an ePal group for my 7th grade classes. I am wondering how often the students e-mail. Do the students typically use class time to e-mail?

Michelle, check out <a href="http://www.cybersmart.org/afrique">www.cybersmart.org/afrique</a><br />
See the section on digital storytelling (in french) from children in Senegal Africa. Might be a chance<br />
to use french and expand your students horizons at the same time. There are details on how you can<br />
get involved on the site.

Hello Michelle,<br />
<br />
There's a French equivalent to Classroom 2.0, called Apprendre 2.0 ... it may be a good idea to post there your message. (not as big but with a lot of quality discussions as well)<br />
Here is the <a href="http://apprendre2point0.ning.com/">LINK</a>.<br />

Do not hesitate if you need any further information<br />
