ePals is a free web 2.0 resource that provides language classes the opportunity to connect with target language speakers around the globe. Communication can range from simple email messages to wiki and blog collaboration to multimedia presentations and even Skype video chat. Teachers can monitor all activity, for the sake of student security.
A potential project would be for both groups - advanced level students in the local L2 group - to read the same story or poem and then use the ePals blog tool to share opinions (targeting writing skills) and later the Skype video chat to discuss (or perhaps debate) the text (targeting oral skills).
Use colorful collaboration with an online canvas. Incorportates sticky notes, uploading of pictures and YouTube videos.
You can create calender reminders also.
By making your canvas public it can be used as an exit ticket or for class discussions. Students can use their computers, IPads or Smart phones. Great collaboration tool which students can use both in and outside the classroom
Interesting 2008 article about teacher perception and usage with regards to technology integration. This is something that many of us probably see throughout our schools with the integration of more web 2.0 technologies in the classroom.
