Natalya Maslova presented on using school-linked collaborative projects to develop writing skills. She discussed partnering students from 9 countries using ePals, which resulted in over 1500 emails in the first year and over 2000 emails the following year. The projects included blog posts, international competitions, book projects, and postcard exchanges. Maslova emphasized publishing student work and noted the lasting impact of what teachers write on the "blackboard of life."
