Speaking French Each week, students in Marvin Lee’s class at Harvest Hills Elementary School spend a few minutes learning how to speak French. Their teacher for this area of study is not Mr. Lee, but rather a group of French elementary students in a classroom almost 5,000 miles away in Rochefort-sur-Mer, France. Students in the two classrooms converse and collaborate through Skype, software that allows them to connect through free voice and video calls over the Internet. In the photo above, French students can be seen on the screen in the background.
