The Global Art Project better known as “iEarn” has let children all over the world see similarities and differences in people and places. With all that is happening in the world from hurricanes, to floods, to terrorism acts students get a real sense of what is happening in the world. They feel connected with these other countries and people. Through the Global Art Project they have made all kinds of comfort items and sent them to these other areas. These projects have helped to build bridges and give people “A Sense of Family”.
I believe these programs and technology are instrumental in giving students ways of learning. Students that have a hard time writing or editing papers don’t have to write and rewrite. All they have to do is hit the delete button. In the case of sequencing they can just cut and paste. This makes learning fun, and they are learning so many things without realizing it. It is also a great help for visual learners.
These projects also give students a chance to teach, which in return gives them a sense of importance.
