Bonjour, Hello, Salam ...

 

"iearn" is international indeed.

International projects through iearn  are a way for educators all over the world to prepare their students to be global citizens.

From French schools we make virtual projects on very concrete aspects of everyday life.

Collaboration improves students' awareness, reading, writing and the ability to share. Through concrete exchanges of ppts, photos, videos, cultural boxes and online discussions, our "ambassadors" (students) look at their country in a different way.

Good morning.....calling all teachers, students, colleagues, etc...

My name is Rossel Mulaire. I am a Canadian teacher who has been living and working in Monterrey, Mexico since 2004. For the past two years, I have been teaching 8th and 9th grade Social Studies/World History. My other responsibilities include being our school's Model United Nation's advisor and Social Studies Department Head. I have taught many different grade levels (first through tenth grades), in Canada, South Korea, and Mexico.

I recently started a little project on Twitter with my 8th and 9th graders, tweeting daily about historical facts and events, sort of like a "this day in history". We are wondering if you'd be able to give out our twitter address to students and teachers. Not only wherever you find yourselves now, but anywhere else you may have contacts. We see this as a great way to teach and appreciate history, bit by bit, one small step at a time. We are trying to use technology to reach more students, and to open dialogue with students and teachers around the world.

If you are in a position to help us, please do so by JOINING US ON TWITTER and by sending our twitter address to students and colleagues, past and present. Ask them to follow our many daily tweets. At the moment, we are tweeting about historical events and facts from around the world. We'd love to see students commenting on our tweets, and also, by adding to our project by posting historical content from their respected countries.

We are hoping to hear from teachers and students from all  parts of the world! The students are keeping a record of the various countries following us! Please help out by following us. The more people (students, teachers, family members, etc) we have following us, the more excited the students get. This excitement then becomes a motivator to continue! Help us make learning about history a little more interesting!

Our  twitter address is: www.twitter.com/rosselmulaire

Please feel free to contact me anytime. I'd be happy to answer any questions or doubt you may have.

Hello! I'm very excited to join this group and find out more about the interests and projects of its members!

I also want to introduce everyone to a great organization - World Savvy - and its new global education resource, the World Savvy Monitor.

World Savvy is a national education nonprofit working to educate and engage youth in community and world affairs. World Savvy programs provide students' with learning opportunities which develop content knowledge, skills and values and attitudes to promote responsible global citizenship. World Savvy has three core programs, the World Affairs Challenge, the Media and Arts Program, and the Global Education Program, and maintains offices in San Francisco, New York, and Minneapolis.

The World Savvy Monitor offers an in-depth examination of one issue or region bi-monthly in an easy-to-read and objective format. Each edition represents diverse perspectives from more than 100 sources and includes an issue overview, historical context, key domestic and international player profiles, list of upcoming events/milestones, hot topic discussion questions, professionally developed classroom-companion exercises and World Savvy Salon guides (for potential community-wide discussions).

The Monitor was created by World Savvy to aid educators who are eager to teach about global issues that will play a key role in students’ lives (issues like international security, the environment and global health) but lack the time to synthesize information from hundreds of sources to create timely lesson plans that can be integrated into science, math, language arts and social studies classes.

Thanks so much and I'd love to hear from you!
