2012 Postcrossing in My Classroom

2012 Postcrossing in My Classroom

I have been a member of Postcrossing for almost a year now.. 356 days to be exact.. http://www.postcrossing.com/user/Erica8899  so far I have sent 86 postcards and received 78 postcards.. I do a lot of direct swap too with members of several FB postcard groups..

:)  In case you are wondering, Postcrossing  is an online project that allows you to send and receive postcards from all over the world!   

I have another blog : http://spoons-of-love.blogspot.com/, where I uploaded some of my postcards collection..  Do visit my postcard blog ! :p but  haven't updated it yet since last June.. will do so in a week or two.. :)

This year (January 2012), I'd organize a program called 'Learning English is Fun'. It's a POSTCARD EXCHANGE program with my high school students aged 13 to 15 years old. It can be a one time exchange or continuously throughout the school year (once a month).

My students will most probably write about themselves, their family, hobbies and ambition etc.. You have to bear in mind, that they are 13 to 15 years old students.. As English will be their second or third language, They don't really know how to write in ENGLISH very well.. :-)

All postcards that will be send through this program will be written by the students under teacher's supervision.


Here is the link to the FB Page :  https://www.facebook.com/Teacher.EricaChan

So far, most of the students had at least received one or two postcards from their pen-pal.. only a few are still waiting for a reply from their pen-pal...

 So, what is Postcrossing?? :)

What is Postcrossing?

The objective of Postcrossing is to allow people to exchange postcards via mail (real mail, not email) with random Postcrossers from around the world. Oh, and it is absolutely free, meaning, if you send a postcard, you will receive one back from another random member.

How does Postcrossing work?

It goes like this:

1. Register on the website. You will need to provide your postal address so that you can receive postcards.
2. Request to send a postcard. An address is displayed along with the member's profile. This address is accompanied by a Postcard ID - a unique code that identifies your postcard.
3. Choose a postcard, write something nice on it along with the assigned Postcard ID, and mail it to the address you were given.
4. Wait, wait, wait. :-)
5. Hoorray! The card arrives to its destination and is registered by the user! Now you too will receive a postcard! 

Is it free?

The Postcrossing website is absolutely free! You will not receive any postcards if you do not send any; that is what makes the system work. The more postcards you send, the more you will receive. It is simple, but you still have to send postcards to make it work.

Note that you will need to spend money on postage to send the postcards and to buy postcards if you do not have any.
