 We will be doing our presentation on Global Collaborative Learning with a focus on iEARN projects. iEARN - http://iearn.org - is the International Education and Resource Network, a global network of teachers and students who are using ICTs to communicate and collaborate with each other on a myriad of projects that make a difference in the world. You can check out the 2007/2008 project book at http://www.iearn.org/projects/2007-2008iEARNProjectBook.pdf

In our presentation we will showcase some of the projects we have been involved in, such as the Machinto Project - http://connect.scdsb.on.ca/machintopresentation and the My Hero Project - http://www.myhero.com/myhero - as well as provide some concrete ideas on how to get started.
These projects provide a real and meaningful dimension to the curriculum while integrating new and emerging ICTs in a way that fully engages students, trully preparing them to become global citizens in a digital age.

We would love to help facilitate anyone in getting started at any time, so if you have any questions, thoughts or ideas, let me know.

Thanks,
