ePals is a place that focuses on creating
social learning networks where people from different background can get
together and talk about their ideas based on similar topics, educators,
students, parents can all be grouped here to express their idea about education
and learning.
When I first started it, I really like the
Filters part where I can choose the subjects that I’m interested in, like Art,
Business, Dance, etc., and then there are several related programs pop put for me
to choose, so by clicking the names of those programs, I can explore and read
some general information about them. Besides, I can always go back to add
subjects that I’m interested.
On the first page of the website, there are
many little squares of people who are also in the same field with their
introduction there that I can connect with, it aims to let users to know each
other and by making connection with each other, people can make groups to
express their opinions about teaching, learning, methods and technology, and so
on.
What I like the most, is the left column
that has several choices for users to choose from in order to shrink the search
range, those are country, language, class size, interest, subject and
specialization, with choose information in the drop-down part, I can make a
customized search for people in the similar field that I’d like to make
connection with, this feature is very useful for me to looking for teachers
that also interested in teaching Chinese outside of Asian countries to
communicate with, and actually I already found some of them and made
connections!.
