What is @SkypeClassroom ?
We use Skype in the Classroom (and Google Hangouts) as a free and easy way for our pupils to open up their classroom to international dialogue and exchanges.
If you don't know about Skype in the Classroom then visit the Official site here.
Which pupils take part?
Our pupils are:
- Mainly French with English as a second or third language.
- Aged 11 to 16.
- Keen to meet with English or French speaking pupils around the world!
What level of English?
