Week 6 International Classroom Blogs

Epals Children

I discovered a website called Epals. It is listed as a "Collaborative learning Experience", where students can submit work online and review others blogs. Interactive publishing and exploration is encouraged and can be tracked by parents and Administrators. It has many of the same features that ALEX has, and in addition it can showcase students' work to teachers and youth in more than 200 countries and territories through the ePals Global Network.

It can be viewed at http://www.epals.com/


Another website called classroomblooging.com has a list of instructors and their particular field of expertise. Some of the more interesting international profiles were from instructors that helped in learning a foreign language.

I found that the instructors have an international educators summit online, where teachers share information and ideas. The internet makes all this possible instead of plane tickets and convention centers, as were required in the past.
