ePals

The most amazing and useful part for me in epals is that the collaboration of classroom project.  Under the collaborate tab we could search by country, project, and teacher forum. It is easy for teachers to look for what they want depend on their needs.   Since there are lots of teachers looking for cooperative classrooms with a variety of topics, in the future, I would minimize my search by choosing a project first and then choose a partner classroom. I would have the project last for around three months and have an assignment once a week. When I go back to Taiwan I am going to teach elementary school, thus, I would like my students work in groups or as a class to come up with more ideas and not feel too stressful. In addition, I would also like to follow the essential questions based on the epal projects as my guideline to provoke the discussions. Afterwards, when my students get used to these form of discussion, I would like them practice storytelling via video instead of writing email back and forth.
