Dirk, this looks fantastic for our kids to not only generate such 
content, but hopefully collaborate with other kids (we emphasize French 
as a second language at our primary school) at another school, perhaps 
even one in Europe, where a good number of our kids' families vacation 
in the summer.  What a great way for kids to learn that the world is 
bigger than their neighborhood and learn at the same time.
