When you firstly enter the realm of ePals,
the first thing that draw your attention is the notebook style which easily make
you feel you are in an online classroom. The website designed for ePals is very
academic-like.
The next step is clearly to match a
classroom suitable for you. You can filter the most appropriate classroom by
typing in the language and the students’ age that you want to search, and then here
we go, the results are listed neatly for you!! If you want to narrow down the
results, you can choose to provide more information to make the results even
more accurate.
Once you find a suitable classroom, you can
email to contact the teacher for further information after you’ve signed in as
a member of ePals. It’s very convenient for teachers who teach the same age
group and same language to exchange experience via email.
The second point I have to mention here is
the amount of teachers’ resources in ePals, you can read the articles shared by
other members. Also you can narrow down your search by choosing students’ age,
number, subjects and topic, etc. Like as shown in the picture, you can download
these articles after you become a member. These articles can be used for making
lesson plan, which is especially helpful for new teachers.
Even if you don't use the lesson plans exactly as listed, they may give you some good ideas for your own plans.
