November 8, 2013July 24, 2017 / Mrs. Shannon Steimel / Leave a comment

On Edutopia today, Lisa Mim, a fifth grade teacher from Delaware,  shows why the art of letter writing is not dead and how new technologies can aid you in helping your students connect with pals around the world in Pen Pals for the 21st Century. Anytime we can give students an authentic audience for their writing and other communication, we almost always increase motivation and engagement!
