Subject: Connections abroad

First of all, I would like to thank all of those who have contributed to
past questions. I have saved many responses and have made use of several
throughout the year.

I wonder if anyone out there has made a connection with a school in
another country? I am trying to help our French and Spanish teachers
broaden their horizons to include some kind of meaningful relationship
with schools in Canada or Central/South America. I do not mention Europe
simply because of the time change. I am interested in a relationship
with a school that would be long-term and would include using our tech
resources to make virtual connections. I would love to have students
from both countries "in" a classroom together. I would love for this to
eventually turn into something more meaningful (exchanges of teachers
and students), but would be more than happy to start small. Is anyone
doing such a thing? Could anyone suggest resources to help me on my
journey?

Thanks so much,
