Fostering a professional learning community in Qatar and beyond
iEarn Workshop
Suzanne Fletcher, Ana Santos and I attended the iEarn Workshop on Sat./Sun. and wanted to bring awareness to its program. iEarn is facilitating collaborative projects which joins teachers and students together throughout Qatar and 120 other countries. iEarn provides excellent step by step guidance, timelines and IT support for your projects. Please contact either Suzanne Fletcher or Jill Boulanger if interested in starting an iEarn project. The projects start this month and run through to January. They can be integrated into your existing curriculum.Some projects that were highlighted were "Special Place," "YouthCan" and the "Teddybear Project."

Thanks Jill, also to remind everyone of the link to the E-Learning wiki where you have started an iEARN resource page.
Also, projects start again next semester, and some projects are ongoing. Talk to our resident experts, Jill and Suzanne about the options. I love doing iEARN projects as they are organised and very structured and a good way to start with global collaboration.
