[school-discuss] Software for live online sessions

["Saunalahti" <pohalone@xxxxxx>]

Dear colleagues,

I use partner projects across borders as an approach in my language 
teaching, and I try to convince my colleagues, too,  to give their students 
a chance of learning journalistic activities in the Internet. I think 
children and young people find e-journalistic work together with their peers 
more fun than learning a kind of abstraction of a foreign language in lesson 
books.

We are now entering from asynchronous collaboration to live online meetings 
of students. There are quite many schools in Europe using Linux OS, and we 
have come into problems with them, as we don't know any open source software 
which could be used for live online sessions.

Can you help? Is there an existing software available, or do we have to look 
forward to it only in future?

Kind regards,
