Make connections with classrooms in other countries to exchange emails or collaborate on projects.

My Take

Students are motivated to check and respond to emails outside of class time. The discussion boards are only in English so it's not useful if you are a foreign language teacher trying to give students an immersion experience. One drawback is that all of your students are in one class and can see each others discussions. I would prefer to have the ability to group my students based on readiness levels to have more rigorous discussions. A shared work space for teachers to collaborate would also be helpful.
