The Culture Box Exchange Project: South Korea

 

 

 

We're happy to receive our 'Culture Box' from our friends at UNESCO Global Peace in Icheon, South Korea. We feel very connected to have something tangible from our faraway friends. We'd like to thank you for the gifts that represent your culture, and of course, your talents too.

It's the colorful world that shines our halls.

It's the experience we share.

It's the creative use of ICT.

It's the happy-fun time moments.

It's the friendships we form and the memories we make.

 

 Here is our daily experiences at our school video that we have just shared with our ePals from Ellis Middle School for Girls in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.

A Day in the Life of Ellis Middle School for Girls

watching our friends' ppt presentation

discussing similarities and differences

The Ellis School is for girls in pre-kindergarten (aged 3) through 12th grade.

It is in the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.

It is a beautiful campus in a beautiful city!

It's so interesting to know how our new friends spend their day at  Ellis Middle School in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. We watched the power point presentation they have sent us and learned about the activities held at their school. We are also excited to read our first messages and write back. It's really wonderful to develop a bond with epals from USA.


Many thanks to Ms. Gregg Stone, the Middle School director and to our friends for sharing and being so awesome! Thank you ePals for expanding our world!

Bringing Global Collaboration and Communication into the Classroom

It’s a new adventure! Tenth graders are going to do a letter exchange with another school in USA by using their own email ePals accounts.  The email system is designed for K->12 students use with safety features. Students will be able to safely connect and collaborate with other students from around the globe and create authentic learning experiences.

Mrs. Rawya Shatila shared an overview of the ePals Global Community and introduced the different ePals forums that are found on the website: Student Chat Forum, Book Club Forum, Featured Photo Gallery, Digital Storytelling, Smithsonian Student Exploration, and Media Gallery for uploading, sharing, and viewing student work. Tenth Graders will be able to read, post, and reply to topics of interest to them.  Moreover, they will have the chance to research and share data with global peers.
