A virtual colleague contacted me on twitter last week to see if I would be interested in our pupils doing something with hers, like an exchange or being pen pals. I would love to build up to a physical exchange but for now we are just going to use a shared Edmodo group and have some online (controlled) conversations.
I’ll let you know how it goes.
Update: Our first conversation between students has begun! I have left them some rules so that they know what they are doing:
Hola a todos. Unas reglas para utilizar Edmodo:
1) Los estudiantes de St Marys solo pueden hablar en español
2) Los estudiantes de Nuestra Señora de Lourdes solo pueden hablar en inglés
3) Primero, hay que dejar un mensaje al grupo con unos detalles personales como tu nombre, tu edad, tus intereses etc.
4) NO está permitido dejar detalles muy personales como el número de teléfono o la dirección del correo electrónico
5) Todo contacto entre estudiantes tiene que hacer aquí en Edmodo
