Collaboration Centre for communication and sharing
“I felt the [iEARN/Global Nomads Project Voice: After the War US-Iraq school] videoconference was very successful and it gave me an insight on how students, all the way
across the globe, felt about the war. It was amazing to hear their thoughts. I enjoyed the
conference and can’t wait to do the next one.” --Alicia, high school student, Connecticut
Increased
communications and
analytical skills
Enhanced crosscultural awareness
Changed attitudes;
enthusiasm for going
to school, on int’l
exchanges
… through iEARN, my students collaborated with students from Orman School in Cairo, Egypt, in a media
literacy unit …. As US troops closed in on Baghdad, students from both countries shared articles, photos
and news clips from their respective regions. They found a much wider spectrum of viewpoints and
coverage than they had anticipated. Being pushed to verify facts as reported by news sources, students on
both sides of the ocean experienced first hand the need for critical thinking and active inquiry. One and all
changed from strictly passive consumers of media to more active, discerning students of electronic and
print information. --Sarah, high school teacher, Spokane, Washington
