It's been a while since we've checked out ePals. I wonder how flexible it is in setting up and managing student user accounts. (We had our students use <a href="http://blog.classroomteacher.ca/338/twitter-in-the-classroom/" rel="nofollow">twitter in the classroom</a> and it was a hassle to set up a class set of student accounts in addition to thinking about security / privacy concerns. We'll have to have a closer look at ePals again. Cheers, Kisu Hi Digna, good luck with your lit circles. It’s been a while since we’ve checked out ePals.

I am setting up lit circles literally right now! I never thought of having virtual ones for my sixth grade students. I am definitely going to have to spend more time looking into and planning this for next year! This info is very thorough and very well organized. I'm wondering if this is possible through ePals? It's a website online that allows you to hook up with classrooms all over the world? What do you think? I love this idea. I am setting up lit circles literally right now!
