Several iEARN country programs offer online professional development opportunities for educators. While the course offerings vary, they share a common goal of supporting educators and students to use technology to enable collaborative project work.

Below is a list of current course offerings offered by TELAR (iEARN-Argentina), iEARN-Pangea (Spain), and iEARN-USA.

iEARN-USA Online Professional Development

Next Course Session: September 24th - November, 21st 2010

An online course program open to K-12 teachers worldwide.

Developed in 2001, iEARN-USA's 8-week facilitated online course program guides K-12 educators in evaluating global projects, and aligning them with state and/or national curriculum standards as part of an integrated project plan. Along with coursemates from around the world, educators choose a project to participate in, develop this topic for students and make plans to share student work via iEARN's password-protected interactive project spaces.

Through this small-scale implementation of a project, course participants see first-hand how to incorporate global project work into their classroom and curriculum. Best of all, participants meet and network with colleagues around the world who can make teaching and learning more fun and interesting throughout year.

Among the course offerings, open to teachers from around the world, are:

  • Creative Arts
  • Language Arts
  • Social Studies,Contemporary Affairs,Geography
  • Science, Technology, Math
  • Teaching of Foreign and Second Languages
