My Name around the World Where are you from? What is your name? What does your name mean in your native language and in other languages? Why do you have this name? Who gives you this name? Who was the first person in your family, which has/had the same name? Which famous persons had your name? What is the nonofficial version of your name? Students can create different visualizations of their name: posters, handicrafts, drawing, etc…  Project web page http://media.iearn.org/projects/myname

In addition to written descriptions, students are invited to share visual images of their days through the "A Day in the Life: Photo Diaries," a digital photography exchange in which students share captioned photographs about their own lives. Students accompany each digital photograph with a short, written explanation of what is depicted in the photograph and its significance. Project Web site:  http://media.iearn.org/projects/onedayinthelife
(OF)2: Our Footprints, Our Future!   is an international initiative that encourages youth from around the world to use online tools and resources to measure their carbon footprint and develop ways to reduce their carbon usage.  The goal of this project is for one million students to work together to collectively reduce their (CO)2 emissions by 35,000 tons in one year, reducing global warming.  Project Web site:  http://media.iearn.org/projects/of2
Debunk Stereotypes Stereotypes are often not true because they are based on exaggerated generalizations or false assumptions.  In this project, students conduct research and collect information in an effort to raise this sensitive issue in a friendly way and begin to change the negative, false images of people around the world.  By doing so they are also strengthening the ties of friendship among people in the global community by bridging the cultural gap.  http://media.iearn.org/projects/iearn-stereotypes
“ I have been regularly participating in Learning Circles sessions every year and observed that my students improved in various skills like communicating, researching, thinking, writing, presenting.., I personally learned many teaching skills from my colleagues around the world” (Vijaya Modal, iEARN Teacher, India).

Notas del editor

  1. Make sure you have a rationale for your project. Does it legitimately fit with what you are doing? Can I team with another teacher? Media specialist? Technology resource teacher? Content area teacher? Computer lab time? Should it be done in groups?
  2. Real audience for teaching writing. Helped kids to see the importance of proper grammar, clarity, etc. We needed to inform a real audience about the countries Students were excited about this project they were genuinely eager to check the forum and see reactions of students in Bangladesh, India, Nepal We were excited We met new colleagues, expanded our worlds
  3. Students learned a lot about countries they had rarely even considered. They viewed maps, learned about topography, geography, history, politics, environmental issues, social and cultural norms of these countries. Had an opportunity to interact directly with students and teachers from the countries. Learned about the process of water testing. Learned to measure, analyze chemical reactions,
