epals

The aspect of epals that I found to be the most intriguing and useful is that of the classroom projects collaboration option.  I have been told throughout this program that the best resource in education is other teachers.  We have been encouraged to collaborate, share ideas, and branch out of our comfort zone.  Epals allows for this collaboration to take place on a larger scale than is possible just within your own school or district.  Lessons are posted, complete with standards, for your perusal.  Teachers are also offered a forum in which to discuss lesson ideas, questions, or suggestions.  It is the ideal resource for a new teacher, who may be looking for lesson ideas and unsure of where to turn to.  All in all, it is a great resource for all teachers, new or veteran!
