Virtual Student Exchange
Connecting Students and Educators with Their Peers Across the Globe – Right from the Classroom
Our virtual student exchange programs enable students from different countries to collaborate with each other on educational projects that adhere to U.S. state Common Core standards and align with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.
Our project-based education model was recognized by the World Economic Forum as one of the most innovative education models in the world. Through it, K-12 students can work on projects together using a safe and structured online environment with an inclusive and culturally diverse community of global-minded teachers and learners.
Our online Collaboration Centre is also used as a forum for peer review and the sharing of student writing and other works.
Every iEARN project has to answer the question, “how will this project improve the quality of life on the planet?” That purpose is the glue that holds iEARN together. Through participation in iEARN projects, students develop the habit of working collaboratively with their counterparts locally and globally and come to understand the positive role they can play in their communities.
The Value of Virtual Exchange
International virtual exchange plays a crucial role in fostering global understanding and collaboration in an increasingly interconnected world. iEARN’s international virtual exchange programs enable k-12 classrooms from different countries to collaborate with one another on educational projects that meet U.S. core curriculum standards and align with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. This form of exchange allows participants to gain firsthand insights into different perspectives, enhancing their global awareness and empathy. It also offers educational opportunities that transcend traditional boundaries, making high-quality learning experiences accessible to a broader audience. The impact of international virtual exchange extends beyond personal growth; it cultivates a more inclusive and collaborative global community, equipping individuals with the skills and knowledge to address global challenges collectively.
