An ePal is...
a real life connection one student makes with another student. This connection is beyond the classroom walls. Students in classrooms are paired with each other to completed projects involving personal communications, data collection and exchanges, as well as working on problem solving activities.

ePal Classroom Projects are...

    Global: Take place outside classroom walls
    Collaborative: Students work together 
    Interactive: Everyone is involved
    Standards Based: Support learning

Students Learn how to:

    Communicate effectively and clearly
    Understand differences
    Collect and Analyze data
    Make Inferences and draw conclusions
    Verify Information
    Get along with others

 

It’s the Connection!

with the world.
E-mail is the tool
that makes it possible
