Seventh graders in Upper Saddle River, NJ use ePals Global Classsroom to exchange emails with native Spanish speaking peers living on the outskirts of Seville, Spain. Kristine Tesoriero, a Cavallini Middle School Spanish teacher received a grant from the Upper Saddle River Education Foundation for fifteen laptops to use in her classroom for this project. This made it easier than ever for her students to practice writing skills and share cultural information with their e-pals. The students view their e-pals as "new friends," and their digital interactions make learning Spanish more engaging and meaningful.
