Recommendation:

This is a great opportunity to connect with schools around the world. Not only do students benefit from the learning connected to the project, they also gain cultural awareness and are involved in community issues. Be prepared to commit to a project, since students from other schools are depending on your participation.

Description:

Work on a project with students and teachers from around the world through iEARN. From the website: "There are over 150 projects in iEARN all designed and facilitated by teachers and students to fit their curriculum and classroom needs and schedules. To join, participants select an online project and look at how they can integrate it into their classroom. "With the project selected teachers and students enter online forum spaces to meet one another and get involved in ongoing projects with classrooms around the world who are working on the same project. "In addition to connecting students' learning with local issues and meeting specific curriculum needs, every project proposed by teachers and students in iEARN has to answer the question, "How will this project improve the quality of life on the planet?" This vision and purpose is the glue that holds iEARN together, enabling participants to become global citizens who make a difference by collaborating with their peers around the world."

Possible uses:

Teachers can find projects for their class to collaborate on with students in other countries. The projects can be a part of any curricular area. Teachers and students can learn from previous or ongoing projects and propose their own. Teachers can learn about learning circles and Professional Development opportunities to integrate iEARN into their classrooms.
