Having your students interact and work with students from around the world promotes open-mindedness and provides different perspectives on life. ePals is a website that encourages the development of this understanding, but from the perspective of a teacher. One feature of this site is the ability to find connections with other teachers from a variety of different fields. When searching for connections, you can filter your results by country, student age range, language(s) spoken, class size, subjects, etc. You can also view others' "experiences" which often consist of successful activities and lesson plans that were implemented by other teachers. This website seems to be a great communication technology tool to help establish a network of colleagues both in and beyond your field!
