bEARN is an online multicultural community of students, teachers and youth working as a member center of International Education and Resource Network (iEARN)
| About iEARN |
iEARN is a non-profit network that supports over 20,000 teachers and more than 2 million youth in 120+ countries to collaborate through a global telecommunications network on projects designed to make a difference in the world. Since 1998, iEARN has pioneered on-line school linkages to enable students to engage in meaningful educational projects- with peers around the corner and through the world. iEARN is –
- A safe and structured environment in which you can communicate
- A community of teachers and learners
- A known audience for writing and reading with a purpose
- An opportunity to apply knowledge in service-learning projects
- An inclusive and culturally diverse community
After joining, teachers and students enter an active on-line forum environment to meet other participants and get involved in ongoing projects, initiated by their peers throughout the world. In addition to meeting a specific curriculum or subject area need, every project proposed in iEARN has to answer the question, ‘how will this project affect the quality of life on the planet’? That vision and purpose is the glue that holds iEARN together. Through participation in iEARN projects, students develop the habit of working collaboratively.
