Mathhew, in his post Connecting learning across the world, mentioned a French teacher, Bernard Garcin who has been running a collaborative project with 30 schools around the globe. They use online technologies to learn languages.
To me, this project is fantastic to more than one level. First of all as a future LOTE teacher, it is exactly the kind of project I would like to engage my students with. Secondly, Bernard Garcin proved me that even in France, mentalities are changing and a more constructivist education is taking place. Lastly, In France as in many other countries, schools are closing in small villages and youths are living those places. This type of e-learning and e-teaching could be one of the key to maintain schools in these areas.
