    Bonjour,

    I teach French to foreigners recently arrived in Geneva. We have 2 Mac in class in a computer room with a PC for each student

    I use a blog to make my students write and to organize courses (private blog posts only visible by my class)
    Online dictionary

    I've taught them to use Audacity that we use to help them correct their pronunciation. We also use their cellphones to make little interviews.
    I also use Audacity to record corrections for the texts they are writing.

    I use flashcards software (in the computer or webbased like Quizlet http://quizlet.com/) too : I prepare the words in French (singular / plural and/or word / definition in French)
    I copy paste it as many times I have have different languages in my class.
    Then the students (using online dictionaries) replace the plural or the definition by the word in their native language.
    YouTube, karaoke software, games., crosswords well anything as long as i too have fun!

    Now I'm trying to imagine what I could do with Diigo and Twitter.
    Stéphane
