This training module will consist of two courses:
Introduction to ePals
In this course, you will be introduced to the ePals website. You will surf the site to become familiar with it, take the ePals tour, and look over the projects that are offered via ePals. Prerequisites: Basic Computer Skills, Internet Basics, and Website Building, or the equivalent knowledge through previous experience and/or courses.
Building Lesson Plans that Encourage Global Learning
In this course, you will use the ePals Global Community to build a lesson plan using one of the projects from ePals. Working in a collaborative environment, you will select a project, build a lesson plan using that project, and implement the project during the training. The implementation of the project during the workshop will demonstrate that the project can be effectively implemented in the K-12 classroom. You will evaluate each other based on the effectiveness of your chosen project and the lesson plan. Prerequisites: All of the previous instructional technology workshop courses, or the equivalent.
