The #mfltwitterati has amazed me for years now, but there are so many incredible and inspiring resources being shared at the moment, that I'm actually finding it hard to keep track of it all. The legend that is @OllieMFL shared his beautiful GCSE Spanish grammar booklet recently on TES - highly recommend this (do consider buying him a coffee though as this resource must have taken him absolutely ages to make). The incredible @Aurelie_LTH is also constantly sharing her marvellous and well thought-out resources on her dropbox. I've also been inspired by the lovely @Missktripp - she tweeted a picture of her Virtual Classroom and I just had to get in on the action. She kindly emailed me with some info on how to go about this and thankfully it was actually much more straightforward than I anticipated. Thank you to Miss Tripp for sharing this info with me and sending me this tutorial by Thomas Blakemore. In the end I just created my own classroom using PowerPoint (the background was from Thomas Blakemore's dropbox, as shared below his YouTube tutorial). I added a few posters to the wall and added hyperlinks to these (right click the image, click hyperlink, insert URL next to where it says address). @MFLWyedean also shared their fantastic 'Linguaflix' resources (suggestions of French and Spanish films to watch on Netflix), so I added this too. The postcards on the desk link to tourism videos on YouTube of French/Spanish speaking cities. The dictionary links to WordReference and the iPad links to the Duolingo Spotify playlists. The books link to audio books on The Fable Cottage which looks great for listening skills. FINALLY, I've added direct links to our home learning resources on Teams on the whiteboard. Once I'd finished I just saved as a PDF and then emailed this to my students, so all they need to do is open the PDF to explore the classroom and the links. Feel free to download the PDF below and have a play. The Teams resources link have been deleted on this version so you won't be able to click these, but all the other links should work. I've also shared the KS3 Spanish and KS3 French PowerPoints, so do feel free to adapt these. If you share on Twitter, make sure you tag @missktripp as I nicked the idea off her! And don't forget to water the plants! :) Dannielle

Hi This is amazing, thanks fro sharing. I have tried to do my own working from your templates but for some reason when I open it in PDF none of the link's work. How did you do it? ( followed you explanation)

Hi Barbara. Thanks for your comment. I had to right click on each image, click add hyperlink, then insert the link in the space at the bottom. Then I save as PDF 🙂 hope that helps

I love the classroom!! Thank you for sharing, it is really going to help me lower some of my anxiety as we go full online this semester. I was wondering how you got your bitmoji to show up? I can only get mine in google.

Thank you for sharing, I have adapted your French virtual classroom background to make a Welsh one. You have saved me so much time.
