Hi there!
I am the Director of Instructional Technology at the Boston Renaissance School, a K-6 school in Boston, Ma, USA.
I had begun a global exchange project with a contact in England in which she was going to set up a class of 8-10 yr olds with our 4th graders on epals.com. Unfortunately, she has fallen out of touch at the critical moment of the project we have already begun! Our kids are waiting for the names to write to and are already creating digital portraits and movies to share about our culture and school with these UK friends.
Wold anyone have a teacher who could pair up with our kids and get this project back on track? I realize this is a last minute reach out, and it does not have to be a class from the UK - any country will do but preferably outside of the US.
We have put out requests on epals.com as well.
Thank you!!
Lisa

I am in the US. If you don't get any reponses from outside the US, let me know if I can assist you. Our school is in Kansas.
Wow thank you so much! That may be a good idea anyways to get them to realize how big the US is!
How old are your kids?

Hey. My name is Elizabeth and I work at ePals as part of our Community Team. I can help you find a partner. If you still need help, just contact me at elfish@corp.epals.com. Good luck.
Hello! I have a teacher from San Francisco who'd be happy to partner with you. I have also reached out to several teachers from New Zealand, Australia and England. I just don't know if I will hear from them by tomorrow. As soon as you send me your email, I will forward information from the San Fran teacher. Then, as I hear back from the others, I will forward the information on to you.
