Global Learning Community

Student-to-student communication within a classroom, grade level, or school is just the beginning of what the Internet has to offer to students. One of the most imaginative ways of utilizing you classroom web site as a communication tool is to connect your classroom to others across the globe, thereby building a global learning community for your students.
Keypals, e-pals, and cyberpals are some of the terms used to refer to the other people with whom the students may correspond.
Keypals assignments can help students practice communication skills while enhancing cultural awareness. Whole sites are dedicated to establish this type of learning community.
