| The journey you have
travelled through this CD is just one piece of an ongoing
process of developing a global classroom -- one that supports
students to learn with, rather than simply about their peers
worldwide. Through their work in iEARN, students are
better positioned to carry collaborative models into their
adult lives. They have the habit of mind to go to the
source in dealing with problems they face -- locally, regionally
or internationally -- rather than to the 30 second sound
bite. When they hear of a crisis or issue in the world,
they feel empowered to reach out, and will think collaboration
rather than confrontation. We encourage you to continue
sharing your own learning as you progress through this process,
so that others may learn from your pioneering work as a teacher
to build bridges, improve education, and make a difference
in the world. |
Participation in iEARN is an ongoing cycle. As you successfully
complete a project you find other projects you'd like to join
and other iEARN activities you'd like to participate in. Continue
to use the steps throughout the CD as your guide and continue
to share your ideas and experiences in the Teachers Forum
and Forum for Professional Development and Resources.
After successful participation in an iEARN project
what comes next
Repeat I-VII by having your
students participate in another project or by having successive
classes participate in the one you have just finished.
Facilitate workshops to involve other
teachers
Share what you have learned through having a class participate
in an iEARN project by having a workshop to involve other
teachers. You may also choose to encourage other teachers
in your school to have students participate in iEARN and serve
as a mentor to them.
Here are some tools to help you do both:
Sample PowerPoint presentations:
You may use these and modify for your purposes.
Here are some sample workshop outlines:
