Once you are online, it is important to familarize yourself with what we call the entry point conferences. Theses are:
- iearn.teachers
This conference is an informal place for
teachers to enter and develop a rapport with other teachers and get a
feel for the workings of an I*EARN conference. It is important not
only to introduce yourself but to respond to other people. From this
conference it is hoped that you will develop partnerships with other
teachers. Please endeavour to visit this as soon as possible.
- iearn.youth
This is a conference for students to enter and develop
working relationships with other students and teachers. Once again it
is a good idea for your students to enter this as soon as possible
and to respond to the existing postings.
- iearn.ideas
This conference is for the formal proposal of project
ideas which have often originated from considerable discussion
between participants in the iearn.youth or iearn.teachers conference.
It is a good idea to visit this confernece regularly to see what
projects are operating and/or being proposed in iearn.ideas.
Other I*EARN Projects/Conferences
Once you have familiarized yourself with the entry point conferences
you will want to involve yourselves in the many existing projects
which operate in separate I*EARN conferences. Please take some time
to explore the many conferences and projects operating within
these.
