Hi Vincent, greetings from Germany/Bavaria. I´m an eTwinning Ambassador for Bavaria and I care about a project. Look at http://e-competences.blogspot.com
I created the biggest group on Classroom 2.0 about digital teaching methods called DigiSkills with now 199 members. Go to groups - search for most members and become Nr. 200 in our group.
By the way, I´ve got a partner from France: Brioude
Next days I want to join your discussion abou eTwinning.
Hans

Hi Vincent,
I am also interested in eTwinning collaboration and I wonder if we can share some information together
Gabriela

Hi Vincent, my French is too bad!
But I´m very busy as well - tomorrow or Friday, I will come back to you. Thanks.
Best regards from Bavaria
Hans

Hi Vincent,
Your project sounds interesting.
I have been looking at your website but am unable to read French. Is it possible to see it in English?
Helen

Hi Vincent,
Thank you for your message! Likewise, nice to meet other foreign language teachers - and from France of all places, too! I will have a look at your eTwinning site soon. However, I teach senior high school (16-19-year-olds) so my students will probably be too old to join yours.
A bientôt,
Sinikka

Wow! France! My daughter hosted a foreign exchange student from France and she was a lovely person to meet.

Hi!
Thanks for the message. I would be looking to your site soon. I know a passionate geography teacher in India who would be keen in working with you. He has set up a group passionate geography..on http://passionateteachers.ning.com. It would be great if you collaborate with him. He is a genius. I will talk about your project with my colleagues in my school. Lets make a revolutionary change in ways of education.

I'm teaching chemistry IB. Looking for a way to make it fun for the students.

bonsoir Vincent!
I am interested in a collaboration with you,but at the moment I don't have students because I am on sabbatical. Maybe we can stay in contact and do something next year, d'accord?

Hi Vincent, thanks for the message. I can't at the moment start another project with my students, however, Eyal Raviv of mepeace.org might be able to help you find partners.

no problem, Vincent. We can email /chat or something like that. I can discuss those subjects with you or others. What age are the kids you teach?

aussi j'aime beaucoup La Provence, j'ai une copine qui habite a Gordes :-)

Hey, any possibility we can collaborate on environmental education. I looked at your network. Are you doing any Green School activities that can be published to let teachers know what's going on? Please check out http://greenschoolwork.ning.com/. jack

Hey Vincent, great to hear about you work and collaboration. I am wondering if the work you are planning for next year involves any project based learning or service learning? Am looking forward to learning more and reading that doc of yours. Oh, here is the link for the group ... http://greenschoolwork.ning.com/ ..... thanks and hope to talk soon. steu

Hi Vincent,
We have just returned from a two month teachers strike and are overhead with catching up, so we can't be working on another project.
I wrote to the Inspector for teaching the French language to see if she might have a middle school that may be interested in running a project with you. If I hear anything from her I will pass it on to you.
All the best,
Reuven

Hi Vincent,

I'm really happy to be here and learn from fellow educators overseas. I'm a primary school chinese language teacher who enjoys using technologies to teach. Nice to meet you.

Cheers,
Tucksoon

Thank you for the welcome! I appreciated the links to the Latin poems!
I am also a member of http://eclassics.ning.com/, which is a group for people who love Latin and Greek (if you are interested you should check it out).

Vincent ... English and French are the 2 big languages here in Mexico. The Alianza Francesa does a great job of promoting the French language and culture here locally in Morelia and across Mexico.

http://www.morelia.af.org.mx/

yeah. I've been here for about 7 months or so. Which school is your nephew at? I'm at the canadian int school. what's the link to your schools beyond walls site?

Hi Vincent,
If you are still interested in collaboration with French speaking class, please send me your email. The French language inspector has expressed interest.

Hi Vincent--I'm going to be taking the train from Brussels to London and will be stopping in Paris for about five hours and try to see some parts of Paris. Do you have any suggestions for non-French speaking folks about what to do or see? I hear (you know rumors) English is unwelcome--French only; others say you can find English speaking folks; don't take cabs--walk, etc. Ideas are welcome!

Hi Vincent--We just got our video cameras and have mapped out our story boards. Next step is setting up a sharing site, prepping for the Colonial History fair, and picking students. I'm also taking a class and preparing for my trip to Brussels, Paris, and London this summer, as well as typical family duties. Whew! I'm looking forward to that plane trip across the ocean!

Thanks for the response to the voice thread question. I am looking for something to inspire my 7th graders. I appreciate the information!!
Carine

Merci de votre gentil acceuil - certainement je vais explorer le site que vous m'avez raccomande. (Pardon la manque d'accents, et pourrait-on se tutoyer?)
K

Vincent, I had not heard of of that website until you posted the name Is this a free site? Are there fees. I looked at the site but could not tell if they charge to sign up.

Carine

Hi Vincent, Thanks for your note. It would be fun for my students to learn more about France and the Vendee Globe through interaction with your students. I cannot use a Ning (students are under 13) or a blog (school policy) however we can discuss ways that the students can share. For example, for an introduction, we could make a voicethread tour of our school and we'd be happy to see one of yours'. My students could do a short simple powerpoint or slideshow about Rich and your student could share about one of your Vendee Globe competitors. I have to keep all of my projects very short, simple and sometimes broad since I see the students only one time a week for 40 minutes . If you look at this link (near the bottom, you can see a link to all of the Vendee Globe competitors http://earth.edublogs.org/ email address is lleo@jacksonschool.org

Yes, http://web.mac.com/jacksonschool/iWeb/jacksonschool/France.html
I worked with a school in that region a few years ago. Very pretty area!

Yes, this is great! Thanks for setting the page up! If you look at this link you will see the webpages for all of the competitors (also on the Vendee Globe site as you mentioned)
http://www.earth.edublogs.org
I'm looking forward to this!

Hmmm...I've never tried this before. I look at the map and try to figure out where it is? It's a zoomed in area of France? Do I zoom in on a map of France and try to find an area that looks like this one? Thanks for introducing me to new websites.

Bonjour Vincent!
Oui nous aimerions bien rejoindre votre communauté! Tell me how we can do it.remember our classes beguin in march and finish in november.
Un abrazo
Lucia

hi Vincent, can become friends for sharing teaching and running educational institute?

Hi Vincent, I will have to figure out how to join your Ning site. The official photo of the Vendee Globe competitors is at this link: http://www.vendeeglobe.org/en/news/5598/The-thirty-2008-2009-Vendee-Globe-skippers-present-in-Paris.html
Maybe they would have the photo in the newspaper in Paris as well?

bonjour vincent! voila, je viens de creer mon ning avec mes eleves (www.mode-de-magie.ning.com)! vous m'avez parler un peu a propos de votre village etc. je voudrais discuter un peu plus avec vous et voir si on pourrait faire peut-etre un skype conference call ou vos eleves pourrait en parler avec les miens de certaines traditions etc de la region. merci et a bientot, Nathalie
