In most if not all 1:1 student laptop initiatives, "instant messaging" is a hot topic for both students and teachers. Typically and predictably, students want access to instant messaging, while many teachers and administrators see IM as a distraction comparable to video games. Both IM and video games are often regarded as "problems" for the classroom teaching and learning environment, rather than powerful tools that can be leveraged for transformative educational experiences.

Video Mail in a Blink! It's fun, it's easy and there's nothing to install Flash-based so no download and for Mac and PC. Free account allows for one-minute messages. Message receivers don't have to sign up to watch the message it seems. That's good. Teachers can send message to students and encourage them to continue and reply. This is especially nice for online learners and teachers. Students can send each other messages to practise speaking and listening. Speaking for a minute is probably not that scary :)

I agree and have used eyejot quite a bit. They've made it more friendly in the past year. But the friendliest way to encourage students is to use Bubblejoy. http://www.bubblejoy.com/intro.php Pick an interesting ecard/frame your students will love! David http://eflclassroom.com

This is an awesome YouTube channel by Sylvia Duckworth. I would use her Chansons au Powerpoint to pre-teach vocabulary and then reinforce the learning with the music/PowerPoint combination.  Other videos offer a plethora of topics that can be used in your classroom.  Her use of GoAnimate inspires me to have my students create similar projects to tell stories.

"Mickey Mouse and Company: The Band Concert "The Band Concert is an animated short film produced in Technicolor by Walt Disney Productions and released to theaters on February 23, 1935 by United Artists w/ a running time of 9 minutes. (...) The Band Concert was directed by Wilfred Jackson and featured adapted music by Leigh Harline. " From the description in http://fan.tcm.com/_Mickey-Mouse-38-Company-The-Band-Concert-1935/video/1640275/66470.html"

Hilarious and wordless except for Donald who says a few hardly understandable words: so there are no real subtitles, and the cartoon could be used for retelling activities in various languages.
