How to use ePaLs in my class

       "ePals is the leading provider of safe collaborative technology for schools to connect and learn in a protected, project-based learning network". Through the ePaLs, students could touch with friends in 200 countries, and teachers could share their experiences and educational sources with teachers' forum freely. Also, teachers and students can do project-based learning, collaborative learning and so on. In Korean school, ePaLs is getting popular with 'webquest.org' for exchanging information with schools in other countries'. Many Korean young students also use this website for e-mailing with other countries' students to improve their English. I think team project with foreign students could be exciting in my class. If we have same project such as research about feminism, my students and foreign students can share and supplement their informaion. Because students from each country have different culture and different point of view, students can compare each other's opinion and experience various things. Also, students usually communicate with English, my students could improve their English naturally.

Using Big Huge Labs in Class

When I taught English in Korea, I usually took charge of kids. They like watching animation like 'Madagascar'. After watching movie, we mimicked each character to learn sentences and recorded for making our own movie. Using 'Big Huge Labs', I could make movie poster easily. I could put title and some sentences, for example, "directed by class1" or "I likt to move it move it" like real movie poster. If my young students do this themselves when they record their movie, it would be more exciting and motivated.
