Hello !
I am an ESL teacher in Québec, Canada. I have 3 groups of 24 students (therefore 72 students) with whom I would like to develop an online penpal project.
I was thinking using video capsules to introduce the realities of our country. For example, a capsule introducing food, traditions, popular sports, school life etc. With that, we could incorporate Skype or exchanging e-mails depending on our countries time difference or even start a Facebook page where our students could continue to share.

What do you think?
Would anyone be interested in such a project?
You can reach me at [email protected]

Have a good day!

Hello, My name is Ning, I am the head master of an English teaching school in China, most of my students are in elementary schools , range from 8-14 year-old, I would love to participate, however, we have a hard time to connect via Facebook due to governmental restriction. so ,I wonder if we could do something more upclose and personal, maybe, for instance ,each month , we can exchange a paecel where it may contains :photos, postcards,short videos, gifts for birthdays,ect.
In today's world, social networks are everywhere, but they all seem detached and unreal, a package , in my opinion,will close that gap.
If you are interested , please shoot me an email:[email protected]
