ePals provides the opportunity for ePals teacher members to advertise their own projects that they’ve created themselves or in conjunction with others. The reason for this is twofold:
1. to provide our community with inspiration as to how teachers around the world are integrating technology and ePals into every area of their curriculum, and
2. to provide high quality curriculum-based authentic activities that our members can participate in.

Time and time again, as devastating world events unfold, ePals teachers and students flock to our site to check in on their partners, to use their partnership as a basis for expression, to find out if there is anything they can do.

The topic of AIDS / HIV does not come up frequently on ePALS’ public student forums, or as part of a teacher's focus of learning, but when the topic does surface, it is an information-seeking topic for a school-based project.
