When I found out about the iEARN Collaboration Centre, I became very curious and decided to join this educational resource network without hesitation. I really don't regret this, because of the variety of online educational projects it offers on the international level. Joining iEARN, we joined a community of colleagues around the world who share the vision that collaborative global projects using telecommunications can enhance and reform education.I was glad to involve my students to take part in a couple of iEARN Projects which encourage them to become global citizens since iEARN tackle important global issues and seek for definite solutions from the youth part across the globe. Furthermore, it may be a strong basis for students in communicative skills and in improving their English language skills as they engage in cross-cultural dialogue with their peers from different parts of the world. They can also get valuable insights into various cultures.
We have registered for the following iEARN Projects:
Involving my students in the Project "One Day in the Life" they received the chance to exchange photographs/images describing days in their lives, and then make cross-cultural comparisons. Students have the opportunity to discuss aspects of a typical day (like visiting the market or going to school) or document special days (like vacations, birthdays, celebrations, or holidays.)
Although writing is often an important component of student participation, in this case, English proficiency is not required, a thing that encourages students to participate and that allows them improve their English.
And how happy were the students when they were told about the opportunity to participate in the iEARN Moldova National Student Media Conference, because it gave them a chance to show their best media projects within the International Projects they were involved in. My students liked the Conference, especially the fact of being given Certificates for their valuable contributions to the development of iEARN Moldovan Community. They believe that this kind of projects may help them in their future careers and motivate them to become active global citizens and future leaders. They promised to do their best in the global Projects being involved in.
