Preparing Today's Students for Tomorrow's World
Epals
Epals is a great tool that I would like to use in my classroom. I would like to start off with something small, maybe have my kids writing a friendly letter to another class. I also hear epals is a good way to get students motiviated to write because they are writing to an actual person besides their teacher. I would like for my students to have pen pals or use epals this year just to get them to enjoy writing. If you know of any suggestions for epals let me know if you have any ideas for epals

Hi, Andrae, Have you been able to find an ePals project to use with your students? Right now, the two most popular ones are "The Way We Are" and "Digital Storytelling."
After you choose a project, then go to the Teacher Forum for that project and find other classes to collaborate with.
If you would like to come to a webinar where I talk about how to use SchoolMail, how to find a match, and how to use the projects, that might help you. (All of these are free items.) My next one is Thursday, Feb. 25 at 3:15 pm Central time. Email me if you are interested in getting the login number: roates@corp.epals.com.
