Lesson Plan:
Go to the following website: www.epals.com You may register your students and then choose a class from anywhere in the world to connect with on E Pals. Students may communicate with each other in English via e mail messages, or you may choose to communicate in a foreign language. This is an excellent opportunity for foreign language classes to connect, or for any class to develop friendships and collaborative projects with foreign students. This is an excellent first step to developing global citizens of the world. From here, as students develop friendships and share curriculums, the next step would be to develop a ccollaborative class project.
