Earlier this week I posted a list of Online Real Time Collaboration Web Applications. I’ve been exploring a variety of ways to begin having my ESL class work with students around the world.
Today, Kevin Jarrett posted about a great addition to that list — Talk Shoe.
You should read his post to learn more, but the site allows you to have over two hundred people on a voice and/or text chat conference call at the same time.
I’ve placed the link on my Teacher’s Page.
(John Larkin shares his experience with Talk Shoe in the comments section of this post. I guess when something seems to be too good to be true, it is!)
Hi Larry,
How are you? I had the chance to experience TalkShoe a couple of weeks back. Steve Hargadon had organised a webchat via TalkShoe. It was clunky and the interface is not all that great. I recorded the audio.
You can hear the bemused inquiries and questions from the participants as they tackle the software. Steve had to postpone the event to another time.

Please keep the reviews coming!
