Where is Englipedia?

Postby thisisben » Fri May 25, 2012 9:07 am

Apologies if I've missed another thread about this, but I'm having trouble finding Englipedia-it's possible to get to a semi-working version but most of the links to activities then don't work. Am I being dumb or does anyone know if they are having technical issues?

Are you on the new site or old site? It moved, and for some reason google tends to still bring up the old address. Here it is: http://epedia.sharepoint.com/Pages/default.aspx Hope that helps. ><

It's back on the old page again http://www.jhsenglipediaproject.com/Pages/default.aspx I think something was wrong with the server and they had to switch domains for a while or something...?

I used to use Englipedia all the time and loved it, but since they altered the textbook images to have "Engrish" titles I've gone off it. Don't get me wrong, Engrish can be funny in other situations; but a big challenge we have as English teachers is in getting our students (and JTEs) to try and get over their fear of making mistakes. Mocking their accents on a site that is meant to be a teaching resource is so wrong I don't even know where to start. I used to recommend the site to JTEs, now I hope sincerely that they never look at it :evil:

I thought they did it as an April Fools joke or something, and assumed they forgot and never changed it back.

I've emailed. Repeatedly. It really bugs me... but only because it is such an otherwise GOOD site!
