About iEARN
iEARN (International Education and Resource Network) is a non-profit organization made up of over 27,000 schools and youth organizations in more than 125 countries. iEARN empowers teachers and young people to work together online using the Internet and other new communications technologies. Over 2,000,000 students each day are engaged in collaborative project work worldwide.
Since 1988, iEARN has pioneered on-line school linkages to enable students to engage in meaningful educational projects with peers in their countries and around the world.
There are over 300 projects in iEARN all designed and facilitated by teachers and students to fit their curriculum and classroom needs and schedules. In addition to connecting students' learning with local issues and meeting specific curriculum needs, every project proposed by teachers and students in iEARN has to answer the question, "How will this project improve the quality of life on the planet?" This vision and purpose is the glue that holds iEARN together, enabling participants to become global citizens who make a difference by collaborating with their peers around the world.

About the Collaboration Center
The Collaboration Center is an innovative platform for student and teacher interaction. It takes advantage of a variety of powerful online software tools designed to build an interactive global community to exchange ideas and media, and build cultural awareness and peace. Our intention is to add additional tools as they become available. We would like to acknowledge the lead role played by Adobe Systems in the development of this Collaboration Center, as part of their signature project, Adobe Youth Voices. Financial and in-kind contributions toward the Collaboration Center have come from:
