iEARN projects take on many different forms, but most are rooted in the pedagogy of Project-Based Learning and result in a range of collaborative final “products” or project outcomes that are shared between the participants

In addition to connecting students’ learning with local issues and meeting specific curriculum needs, every iEARN project should answer the question, “How will this project improve the quality of life on the planet?”
