Epals
is an online learning platform which allows you to add classes and provide
students with individual logins using email addresses provided by Epals.
According to Epals website, Epals provides a safe and easy way for your class
to connect and collaborate, share content, and correspond formally with other
classes internationally via emails. When you create an account with Epals, you
have the ability to add as many students as you want.
My
students and I both enjoyed using this site this Year.
Let's review some of Epals features:
1.
Able to create a class for students with email addresses. This
way, only the people you want to be in the class can join with the email
addresses provided by you.

2. You can join communities with other educators. I enjoy visiting
these and sharing ideas with other educators. My class nowadays is
collaborating formally with students of a school in America. Since time zone
was a problem and difficult to connect through Skype. Epals made it easier for
me to connect internationally.
3. They have a great app, so you can access
this site even on the go.
4. Epals allows me to monitor their emails so I
can be certain nothing inappropriate is going on.
5. I can
also monitor the incoming mail as well outgoing mails.
Again, Epals can do so much more....these are just the basics. If you haven't checked it out, I highly encourage you to do so. And, in my opinion it's not just for upper grades. I envision primary grades using this as a way to communicate with international students. Perhaps even more!
