This year we have decided to weave a study of birds throughout our 6th grade Life Science curriculum.  We have partnered with some local professors who are bird banders and will be banding at our school.  We have also created electronic field guides that can be downloaded onto iPods.  We are making biweekly counts and reporting our data to eBird as well.  What we are looking for from ePals is some way to make this a more global project - to collaborate with students in other parts of the world (or the country).  We are open to all ideas (and as ours take shape we will post more specifics)  Thanks!
