Vignette from Melanie Lenno, High School Spanish Teacher:
Melanie Lenno first learned about iEARN from a history teacher in Delaware that had her students interacting with students from the Middle East to better understand each others' cultures.
According to Melanie: "The program is great for all subject areas. There are numerous projects and lesson plans already created for a variety of topics. I'm planning on having my Spanish III classes communicate with classes from Argentina for a project titled "One day in the life/Un dia en la vida" during our unit on Argentina. Students will be able to share in Spanish what daily life is like with students from Argentina. In an online forum they will be able to comment on each other and learn about the culture differences in daily life."
She will also be doing a project entitled "mi heroe" in which her students will read about Hispanic heroes of Spanish-speaking students from all over the globe. Then they will create a class webpage to display descriptions of our own heroes in Spanish.
