Teacher Collaborations

Teachers -

Are you looking for classroom collaborators for your kids, but don't quite know where to look, besides the classroom next door to yours?  Advances in technology have made the world so much smaller and accessible.  Social media can lead us to collaborators, but can be tough to wade through all the distractions to get to real connections for your students.

Check out ePal.  This online resource provides a venue to connect classrooms with each other for just about anything project.  The bounds of geography do not have to limit the collaborators that students have access to.  This tool will facilitate connecting students to a global community.

Setting up and a teacher account is quick and easy.  Try it out.  You may be amazed at who will get a chance to meet to create meaningful collaborations.
