ePals is dedicated to connecting the global community of classrooms.

ePals boasts that members can safely connect, collaborate and learn using their leading protected email and blog solutions for schools and districts. While the emphasis is on connecting classrooms, the site is also available for individual penpal exchanges.

• Penpals: Unknown (hard to know since they are dedicated toward classrooms)

Pros: I really like that ePals has an emphasis on connecting school classrooms. The website is straight forward and easy to navigate.

Cons: Not really meant for individuals searching to meet other penpals (not so much a minus as just something to be aware of).
