ePals gives classrooms around the world a chance to connect
with another classroom. The goal is to allow students to learn more about
students in other countries and cultures, and possibly have the opportunity to
learn better foreign language skills. Essentially, it is an online, more
interactive version of pen pals. ePals
is a free service.
This would be a great resource for a class that is learning
about different countries or cultures. It could be really great for a class
learning a foreign language. With the communication tools available, a class in
the United States learning Spanish could connect with a Spanish-speaking class
in another country. The class in the U.S. could work on Spanish skills and the
other class could then work on English skills. That aspect is the most exciting
part of ePals, in my opinion.
I think this is a great idea. If there were a good way to
work ePals into a lesson being taught, I think that it would be fun and
interesting for the kids (and the teachers). It seems easy to use, and it
appears to be free as far as I could see.
