National Geographic partners with ePals, Inc.

ePals, Inc., an Internet-based global learning community, and National Geographic Ventures (NGV), which creates and distributes digital content for the National Geographic Society, are partnering to enhance the ePals site with National Geographic content. The partnership is intended to appeal to the rapidly growing ePals’ Global Community™, which reaches more than 13 million students and teachers in 200 countries and territories.

Initial topic areas of focus include maps and geography, habitats, global warming, natural disasters, people and culture, great leaders, water, and weather. In each area, classrooms and teachers will be able to choose among projects that emphasize collaboration, 21st-century skill building, and the use of school-safe communication tools to work with learners around the world or down the block.
