Dear CASL Colleagues,

I attended a conference last week and learned about a new online tool called Empatico that is used to connect elementary students around the world in order to promote empathy and compassion. People who spoke about it were very passionate about its effectiveness! I'm wondering if anyone has tried this tool. If so, do you have any tips about how to connect with other classrooms and/or how to use it in the library. If you have used it, would you recommend it?

Thank you!
Anne
