Hi Kari,

I also enjoyed your presentation. I especially liked hearing the personal stories you shared of the various connections between students.  You are doing great things in all the training sessions you have completed with teachers and I'm excited to know how many more people will be using ePALS. It has been a true pleasure to meet you!

Thanks for all you do,

Candace

Carol, you are truly making French (the language and culture) meaningful for your students. I wish you all the best on your journey with both SchoolBlog and SchoolMail! I hope to be able to stop in for a classroom visit again this year! Congratulations, too, on your willingness to share your journey with other teachers!

Kari,

Your presentation with Tim this morning was excellent!  Thank you for that great overview of how the various ePals tools can be easily integrated into our classrooms.  I am excited about expanding my SchoolBlog experiences to include SchoolMail next year! 

Several of you came up to me after this morning's session to talk about using ePals in your classrooms, schools and districts! I'm happy to continue the conversation of how you can make ePals come to life for you in your schools. Ask questions; share strategies. We can continue the journey here on line.

Also remember that I've posted many resources that you can use both for your own ePals journey, and also in presentations to others on a special ePals Training Blog          http://sites.epals.com/ePalsTraining/ .             The resources provided on this blog have been uploaded to Google docs. It only takes a moment to create a free Google docs account to access these tools, which include presentations, handouts, videos, and integration ideas.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Help us continue and expand the conversation.
