Social Media
Bringing Social Media into the classroom is a great way to engage students. Teachers can use Social Media as a way to connect with students and other teachers, and also to find French resources.
Students can use Social Media to show their work, collaborate with others, and work on their oral and written production.
Twitter is a great app to use for sharing information with your students. Tweet about Fun French Facts or French Word of the Day, to name a few ideas.
Creating #hashtags that the class can use is a great way to establish a strong classroom community.

Blogging
Blogging is a great way for students to work on their writing skills, and share their work with a wider audience.
Students can create their own personalized blogs where they can display their work, and write in French. If individual blogs is not an option, create a classroom blog where students can upload their work. You can also use the blog to share news and updates. This is a great way to keep parents informed and involved in their child's education.
