I found a group called Franco-American Educational Exchange Network on the social networking site Ning. This group was created for teachers of French and English in America and France to make connections with each other. The teachers can exchange communication and ideas on the subject of teaching or studying abroad, as well as connect their students with the students in the other country. I think this website is great because it facilitates communication between students in two different cultures who are learning about each other. The website offers links to other outlets such as Twitter and Facebook. Members also post links to various exchange programs and study grants for teachers. Once I have a classroom of students, I would love to set up an partnership with a French class where we could exchange information over the internet. This site would make that a reality quite easily.
