Twitter for Spanish Classes

We live in northern New England and as such, there are not many opportunities for my students to use Spanish outside of the classroom. In order to provide another opportunity for my students to practice Spanish outside of the classroom, they are going to start tweeting via twitter. I would like to invite other Spanish speakers--novice to native speaker to join us. All you have to do is add the following hash tag to your tweet #esp4me My students are going to begin with introductions and from there, my hope is that this will take on a life of its own and I can fade out. If all else fails, I will assign topics to my students. Please consider joining us.

Hi Fred

I tried the #esp4me and nothing could be found. Did you quit the idea?

I've been using #spanish4 with my spanish IV where they have to answer daily questions or use a specific word into a sentence. I like your idea of having them meeting somebody else.

If you want to get back to that, I have 3 groups of Spanish native speakers to whom I teach reading and writing, and they would profit for this kind of exchange.

Por favor, me avise.

That would be great. The group I have this year hates to speak Spanish. All they want to do it book work. It would be nice if we could connect. What types of things are you reading? We could read the same thing/ ideally a Spanish version and then they could all comment. E-mail me at fravan@breweredu.org
