Connect Globally through ePals

Students love to connect with other students for global learning projects, but sometimes it’s difficult to find the perfect collaboration partner. You might want to look into ePals, since it could be called the standard when it comes to global communication. It’s easy to get started with global projects with ePals. All you have to do is to fill in the form, and you are ready to use this free global learning community. You’ll get help finding classroom matches according to the language you wish to use (English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, or Chinese) and the age level of your students (1-7, 8-10, 11-13, 13-16, and 17+). You can create your own collaborative project or join projects started by other teachers and students. ePals’ Schoolsafe eMail, Web 2.0 tools, and resources are available to help you and your students connect and interact with other classes around the world.  ePals sponsors and partners include National Geographic, the Smithsonian, and Cobblestone & Cricket magazine.
