iEARN is an international nonprofit organization that connects over 15,000 schools in 100 countries through Internet networks. Using the Internet and other communications technologies, students and teachers conduct collaborative educational projects that meet curricular goals in Arts / Literature / Language Arts, Social Studies, and Math / Science / Environment. Participants choose from over 120 projects, which are designed and facilitated by teachers and students with the purpose of developing research and critical thinking skills, providing experience with new technologies, raising cultural awareness, and developing "the habit of getting involved in community issue." A common theme in all the projects is "enabling participants to become global citizens who make a difference by collaborating with their peers around the world." A video lets you hear some of the voices of iEARN participants. Other sections on the website provide a history of the project, costs for joining the community, and an interactive Globe that lets you see which countries are currently involved and their projects.
