Every iEARN project has to answer the question, “how will this project improve the quality of life on the planet?” That purpose is the glue that holds iEARN together. Through participation in iEARN projects, students develop the habit of working collaboratively with their counterparts locally and globally and come to understand the positive role they can play in their communities.

INTRODUCTION

Global Goals: Projects That Make a Difference

In 2015, iEARN launched a major effort to mobilize its global network and other global education partners to realize the U.N's 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a set of targets designed to be a “blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all”. As a result of this effort, all iEARN projects are aligned with one or more of the Sustainable Development Goals. Visit SDG Alignment on the iEARN website for more information.

GETTING STARTED

3. Find classroom partners: iEARN offers three easy ways to find educator and classroom partners in the iEARN Network: 1. Post in the Teachers’ Group 2. Post in the Discussion of the project you’ve joined 3. Join one of iEARN’s virtual events to connect with other educators Project Facilitators for each iEARN Project are available to help you connect with other iEARN teachers participating in the project, as well as guide you in activities and project work your class can complete. You can find the Project Facilitator’s email contact information on the specific forum for the project you are interested in joining.

4. Implement your project: iEARN projects take shape through a combination of in-class class project work and online exchange activities. Classroom activities can include research, writing, class discussion, media creation, experiments, group work, or other activities that explore the topic.

Exchange activities include forum discussions, media sharing, video conferencing, and other activities where students communicate online with their partner classrooms. In-class and exchange activities build up to the creation of a final product, such as a joint student newsletter, website, video, or service activity.

5. Present students' work: Students are more engaged, more excited to demonstrate learning, and more motivated to do their best work when they know they will be presenting it to others. The “Presenting Student Outcomes” Module in the iEARN Teacher’s Guide includes many ideas for sharing work guide.iearn.org/engaging-the-community/m8-presenting-student-outcomes/

GETTING STARTED

Global Learning Circles Join our Global Learning Circles – highly interactive, projectbased partnerships among schools throughout the world.

Learning Circles is a virtual, collaborative, project-based methodology for placing students and teachers into international teams or “Circles” to develop global projects around a shared theme. An experienced facilitator leads each Learning Circle in order to carefully guide each participant through the various tasks and phases.

Learning Circles interaction is structured through six phases and each Circle culminates in the creation of a collaborative final project/publication. Each classroom team is responsible for editing and publishing their project for the group publication.

Each session, over 100 classrooms choose iEARN Global Learning Circles to participate in collaborative project work.

Each Learning Circle is composed of a group of 6-8 classes who work together during an entire session. At the beginning of each session, new Circles from new locations are formed, with 4-7 countries represented in each Circle.

We offer Learning Circle projects for: Elementary (grades K – 5; ages 5 - 10) Middle (grades 6 – 9; ages 11 - 14) High school (grades 10 – 12 or higher; ages 15 – 18 or higher)

For further information contact Barry S. Kramer, the iEARN Global Learning Circles coordinator, at learningcircles@gmail.com.

GLOBAL LEARNING CIRCLES

Global Learning Circles Themes Hello World!

Hello !

World !

Returning this year are our popular five-week long Learning Circles for beginners at the Elementary, Middle and High School levels. Hello World: Learning Circles are for teachers and students who have never participated in an iEARN project or a Learning Circle. This five-week experience will introduce teachers and students to the basics of Learning Circles, including teacher introductions, culture sharing, and an information exchange. If you have never participated in an iEARN project or a Learning Circle before and you would like to know what it is like, this is the place to begin your iEARN experience.

Places and Perspectives The Places and Perspectives theme encourages students to explore regional history, culture, government, and geography by sharing their knowledge with people from different locations. The goal is to help students understand how historical events and geographic conditions interact to help shape their lives and gives them a deeper understanding of themselves, their families, and their communities. Each classroom sponsors a project for a section in the Places and Perspectives Review. For instance, a classroom might sponsor a section on local legends, interview native inhabitants, investigate unique landforms, describe historical attractions of the area, examine local constitutions, compare weather patterns, or engage in map studies. See http://globallearningcircles.org/lcguide/pp/pp.html to learn more about the Places and Perspectives project in the online Learning Circles Teacher’s Guide.

18

GLOBAL LEARNING CIRCLES

Global Learning Circles Themes Computer Chronicles This theme promotes non-fictional writing across the curriculum.

Interaction online revolves around producing a newspaper-like publication called The Computer Chronicles. Each class has the opportunity to sponsor one or more sections of the newspaper as their Learning Circle project. Classrooms solicit articles from their partner classes and edit them to create one section of the newspaper. This section is combined with the other sections sponsored by circle partners to form the completed Circle publication.

See http://globallearningcircles.org/ lcguide/cc/cc.html to learn more about the Computer Chronicles project in the online Learning Circles Teacher’s Guide.

Global Issues: Environment and Education The Global Issues theme allows students to discuss the many issues and challenges faced by the world today. Projects focus on identifying and developing solutions for the countless issues people of the world face on a local, national, and global scale.

Popular topics and issues are environment, education, immigration, safety, bullying, housing, pollution, government, and hunger. Students are also encouraged to propose new and emerging issues that they would like to explore, research, and discuss. Furthermore, participants can investigate specific topics by looking at problems, solutions, action plans, and prevention.

This curriculum may encompass traditional educational subject areas as well as cross-curriculum areas of interest.

My School

My School This 10-week Learning Circle for elementary school students (Grades K - 5) allows students to share and celebrate information about their classroom and their school. Participants may choose to write stories, take photographs, prepare multimedia presentations, create videos, or use other media formats to share and highlight information about their school. Each participating class will share cultural information and create a presentation.

MY HERO: Learning Circles My Hero Learning Circles, a collaboration between the iEARN Learning Circles and The My Hero Project (www.myhero.com), brings together students and teachers who are interested in collaborating with other schools from diverse areas of the world on the topic of heroism. Each of the MY HERO Learning Circles is open to all grade levels.

MY HERO: Call to Action (16 weeks) The 16-week MY HERO: Call to Action Learning Circle introduces students to heroes of all ages working on the SDGs. Students share their ideas through iEARN’s platform, choose an issue they feel strongly about, and design an action plan. Students will create a final project (written story, film, artwork, or audio) either individually or as a group honoring those making a positive difference working on the SDGs or documenting their effort to create positive change in the world. Teachers collaborate with other educators through the forum and engage their students in collaborative work.

GLOBAL LEARNING CIRCLES

Global Learning Circles Themes MY HERO: Celebrating Everyday Heroes (10 weeks) The 10-week MY HERO: Celebrating Everyday Heroes brings together students and teachers who are interested in collaborating with other classes on honoring everyday heroes in their community and the world. Students will be introduced to young heroes and realize that they can make a positive difference in the world. Ideas will be shared on iEARN’s platform and students will be given the opportunity to create a final project, individually or as a group, honoring those making a positive difference.

MY HERO First Steps (5 weeks) For those teachers and students who are new to iEARN and online collaborative project work, the 5-week MY HERO First Steps is an opportunity to get a sampling of the MY HERO Learning Circle.

Students learn about young global heroes and honor heroes in their own community while teachers connect with other educators using the iEARN platform.

Teacher-Sponsored Themes

sponsored

Teachers are invited to sponsor and facilitate a theme for a special Learning Circle. If you have a project idea or suggestion contact Barry Kramer at learningcircles@gmail.com to develop a plan to advertise and gather support for your project. In order to develop a special Circle theme it is best to start the process at least two months before the beginning of the Learning Circles sessions. It is also best to have a facilitator and some classes that may already be interested in the theme.

If any iEARN member would like to use the Learning Circles format for your project, please contact Barry Kramer for information and ideas on how to facilitate communication and interaction among your project participants.

Alternate Reality If students can't physically walk in each other's shoes, why not imagine what it could look like? In iEARN's Alternate Reality project, students create and exchange digital photocomposites to visually imagine what their partners' lives might be like if they lived in their community. In this project, one class shares photographs of a few volunteer students, posed against a plain background and doing something ordinary, together with their first names and a short description of their interests.

Then, their partners digitally transport them to their school and community in captioned, realistic photocomposites, to teach them a little about what their life might be like if they lived in their hosts’ community! Then they discuss, and switch roles. It’s fun, interesting, immersive, and sometimes a little silly!

Art Connect In this project, students research and learn a traditional art form of their country. Students understand the sustainable practices in traditional art forms while connecting with another country and culture. They share and learn an aspect of each others culture through visual art or performing art, co-creating a mural together which reflects the amalgamation of the two cultures, compose a song together, or choreograph a dance together. The final exhibition could be a song, a video, a collaborative mural (put together online), etc.* This project will run in three month cycles: July - September, October - December, January - March, April - June.

Cultural Package Exchange Schools from two different countries exchange (real or virtual) box full of cultural items such as cultural clothes, food and ornaments. The project will have schools matched according to age and country. Their first interaction will be online through the iEARN forum where they will exchange information about themselves, schools, town and country. The second stage the teacher asks the students to search and collect items that relate to their cultures, clothes, food, snacks, lucky charms and everything that they think represents their county. They will also write informative descriptions of the items, wrap the box and send it by mail. The final step is when they receive the package, they write in the forum about their reactions, and if they have extra questions about the items.

Do Good, Save Food!

How we produce and consume food is the single biggest threat to nature today. It's a major driver of the emergence of infectious diseases, unhealthy diets are the biggest cause of non-communicable diseases and 1.9 billion people are obese or overweight. In schools we need to raise food awareness to stay healthy, reduce food waste and save the environment for a better future. The project aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goal No: 2 (Zero Hunger), Goal No: 3 (Good heath and well-being), SDG 4 (Quality Education), and addresses local and global communities of students, teachers and parents to promote healthy eating habits, raise food waste awareness and ensure SEL through service-learning. Partner schools plan concrete, cross-curricular activities that reflect school cultures and meet the needs of sustainable development of school communities. The project promotes inquiry-based learning and student-initiated action.

Folk and Culture Project Do you know your local culture? Can you explain it to others? Students research and introduce about their own folks and/or culture to each other. Some local culture is getting to be forgotten by the young generation. The most serious problem is that they can not be proud of it because of a lack of understanding of the value. We need to educate the children on how valuable culture they have is and have them realize they need to leave this culture to posterity.

Global STEAM This project includes several collaborative activities throughout the school year to explore global issues, using a variety of educational tools. These include population growth, climate change, measuring our world, and plastic pollution. Every project has an open-ended component and gives/creates an opportunity to develop STEAM subject skills to use them in everyday life. Schools may do either, or both! STEAM-based education creates opportunities for self-learning, develops lifelong learning tools, enhances 21- century skills, and stimulates students' motivation towards creativity, innovation and positive global citizenship.

International Book Club: Getting Readers Connected Reading gives us knowledge; knowledge gives us power--encourage your students to share what they are reading with peers around the world. Members of book clubs reap many benefits. Discussing ideas and asking questions help us to understand our reading more deeply. Books often affirm opinions and cause us to question our own. This project directly connects to the literacy content standards and goals that all teachers strive to attain. For example, a social studies teacher may want to select books because of their historical or geographical perspective, while a world language teacher may want to use the same book and partner with the social studies teacher to give students practice using the language they are learning.

Students use the Parlour to discuss topics of mutual interest, to practice speaking and communicating in a particular language, to showcase talents to an interested audience, or simply to get to know one another.This project is designed to help match partners by age, time, and interests, and to provide ideas, techniques, and ice-breakers to inspire rich conversations and meaningful chats.The project encourages student-driven rather than teacher-led conversations; small group-to-small group conversations rather than one-to-one or one-to-many conversations; and natural conversations over scripted conversations and stilted presentations.

The Teddy Bear Project Sharing cultures through a visiting soft toy.Through the exchange of a bear or other soft toy, students create journal entries to share with their partner class.

The students write diary messages as if they are the visiting bear describing its experiences in the new culture. Some of the experiences included lessons learned in school, a visit home with each student, social events, meals and class activities. The student work is shared on a weekly basis with the partner class.

Throughout the school year students are eager to find out what their bear is doing in the visiting country.

Future Teachers- Knowing Our Students; Knowing Ourselves

This project seeks to transform our classrooms and schools by transforming the way teachers are trained. Future teachers gain direct experience with global learning networks as they engage in dialogue with their peers about teaching in the 21st century.

The Future Teachers forum is a meeting place for university professors of education and the future teachers in their classes.

Three kinds of discussions take place: Future teachers from around the world compare perspectives on creating effective and equitable schools and classrooms that will better meet the needs of all students.

Future teachers share their reflections as they learn first-hand about iEARN’s projects as facilitators, observers, or participants.

Professors of teacher education exchange ideas and resources for project-based learning and integrating global learning networks into their courses in different content areas.

The Future Teachers Project was launched during the 1999 iEARN annual conference in Puerto Rico and has been developed collaboratively during subsequent iEARN conferences to offer future teachers direct experience with innovative technology use and global learning early in their careers.
