Collaborative & Global ePals Projects
From School Computing
- Guide to Collaborative Projects from the D.O.E.
- Epals is a great site for finding another teacher/class to partner with.
- iEARN has lots of teacher forums. Note, they are a subscription site ($100/year for a teacher or $400/year unlimited for a school) which tends to weed out those who are non-committal.
- Classroom Connection Program links Social Studies and Language Arts classrooms internationally.
- Wisconsin Department of Education - nice site with a collection of sources for teachers who wish to build international connections, with links to CEARCH, KidLink, and the Peace Corps Worldwise Schools.
- Global Voices Online is an introduction to world-wide blogs and individual perspectives.
- Global Savvy - an article in edutopia describes this program.
[edit] Collaborative Projects Without Language
- China Mash shows photos of everyday life. Imagine sharing a photoblog with another school instead of using text language to share]. See Jim's blog for more of an explanation.
