As I was learning about the global cooperation site, Gabcast.com kept coming back into my mind. In association with epals.com, I think you could have a very interesting learning experience for children. Once you have an accredited class from another (preferably for myself, a Spanish speaking) country, you could work on writing penpals letters for awhile. Then, your students could record messages at Gabcast.com for the class you are working with and vice versa. Students need to hear speech from native speakers and this is an amazing way to do so. Obviously you would need approval from your principal and I would even write to epals and let them know you are taking your pen pals to the next level, but all the work would definitely be worth it for you students learning abilities.

Mary Caitlin,
Your idea of having the students hear native speakers through Gabcast should be very motivating for L2 learners. This tool would get our languge students closer having real conversations in the target language.
