Assignment #4
ePals Website ePals appeared to be the website I would be most likely to utilize in my classroom because it provides the students an opportunity to connect and collaborate with other students around the world. Whether the student was looking to gain experience working with others or encounter the opinions and views of an international peer- ePals appeared to be a good starting point.

I would use this program by having my students choose a topic/question and decide whether they want to work nationally or internationally on finding the solutions. I would likely start by having the students glance through the projects that are already posted and take a poll to see which ones most interest my students. My students and I would then search the site to see if other schools were also interested in, or perhaps already started, a similar project. I also think that finding one classroom to partner with for multiple projects would also be a fun experience. Once the details of the assignment are made exactly, my students could then begin corresponding with those at the other school using the ePals website to create the project. If appropriate, students could use other websites such as Skype to further facilitate the project or share their ideas/ experiences with the students at the other school.

I would really like to use this tool to show my students how different individuals may look at a problem in a different way. For that reason, I would likely use this project to have my students take on a difficult problem in biology such as cloning, mutations and illnesses, creation/use of medicines, evolution etc. It may be fun to have the students work together with the students at the other school to build a wiki page that answers their problem-much like this one
