Global Education Resources

www.epals.com

This site is great! Many of the projects are applicable to early childhood. It would be fascinating to use these to collaborate with children from a different culture. I'm going to suggest we do something with this for the after school program at Eisenhower. I like the "The Way We Are" one because it's a topic Kindergarten and First Grader's discuss on their own. Plus it has a Spanish option, which many of the students at Eisenhower speak.

www.iecc.org

This is not actually a site. However, IECC can be found at http://www.friends-partners.org/CCSI/penpals/iecc.htm. I prefer epals to IECC. IECC is similar to EPals in that it connects students to other students elsewhere, but ePals has more options.

www.thinkquest.org

This site seems useful but I was unable to register to see it's options. I took the "tour" and saw that it has projects and competitions.  When I am able to register, this will be an interesting site to explore.
