All projects in iEARN are designed by teachers and students, and provide powerful examples of how technology can make adifference in teaching and learning. As part of iEARN's mission to improve the quality of life on the planet, all projects involve a final "product" or exhibition of the learning that has taken place as part of the collaboration. These have included magazines, creative writing anthologies, websites, reports to government officials, arts exhibits, performances, and many more examples of youth taking action as part of what they are learning in the classroom.
Featured Ongoing iEARN Projects to Join 
Art Miles: Students and teachers create a total of twelve themed miles or more, (440 each mile) of five by twelve foot murals painted on canvas for each mile, with an emphasis on the PROCESS of creating murals which promote, education, culture, environmental preservation leading to global understanding, respect and peace through art.
The Teddybear Project: The aim of the Teddybear project is to promote tolerance and understanding of cultures other than your 
own. After teachers register, the facilitator matches you with a partner class. The classes send each other a Teddy Bear or other soft toy by airmail through the normal postal system.The bear sends home diary messages by email at least once a week. The students write the diary messages as if they are the visiting bear describing its experiences in the new culture. Available for Prep/Kinder to Year 9, this project provides opportunities for authentic writing by providing the students with a real audience.
Machinto: Based on the picture book Machinto and the exhibit catalogue 'They Still Draw Pictures, Children’s Art in Wartime" participants research what kind of wars have taken place in modern times, and where armed conflict continues to destroy the lives of children. The Machinto Project will bring students from around the world together online and in video conferences to share their response to this reality and we will facilitate the delivery of picture books to conflict zones.
The Hero Project: MY HERO invites educators and students of all ages to participate in this online journal celebrating globalheroes from all walks of life. This interdisciplinary project-based learning resource integrates creative and language arts, humanities and social sciences, science, environment, math and technology curricula to challenge students to make a positive difference in the world by recognizing both the heroes around them, and the heroic attributes within themselves.
Leaving Footprints:Throughout this project, students will be asked to answer the questions, “what footprint can I leave?” and “how can I leave a lasting footprint that will impact my global community?” The Postcards that Leave Footprints component of this project is a learning activity that both culminates our learning and unifies all of the participating students in this project. Students will make postcards to post on the project website that captures "how we leave footprints." Then the postcards will be distributed around the world and those who find them can respond to the students via the project website. Students will receive "real-world" feedback from individuals all over the world!

- Bullying.org -this international project helps others deal with the issues of bullying and teasing. People can share their stories, poetry, images, music, animations and films in order to let others know that they are NOT alone, that being bullied and teased is NOT their fault and that there ARE many positive things they can do to deal with these issues.
- Beyond Wild Justice -will challenge each participant's mental models concerning justice and will bring students face to face with people who have had the courage to take their pain beyond vengeance to healing. Classrooms across the country are invited to participate in a project that probes the new approaches to justice that are underway in our world, approaches that put in place legal practices that do things with people, rather than to them or for them. The activities and resources in "Beyond Wild Justice" will expose students to the concept of restorative justice, a form of justice that seeks healing for both the victim and the perpetrator and will push learners to consider the power of forgiveness in the lives of those most closely connected with the crime.
- Eleanor Rigby Project, The -The Grade 7 students from Master's Academy in Calgary, Alberta, Canada invite middle school students from all over to join 'The Eleanor Rigby Project', a telecollaborative project that will introduce them to the real people behind the homeless fa?ade. Participants will study the facts, examine the stereotyping placed on those who are homeless, and be introduced to people who live on the streets. And after all the facts and emotions have settled, they will be challenged to ask themselves why we all have a strange feeling of discomfort each time we see a homeless person, and what we can do to help.
- We are the Children -This project provides opportunities for thoughtful reflection on issues of peace, safety, and responsibility.
