IEARN

iEARN (International Education and Resource Network) was launched in 1990 to link schools in nine countries for online collaborative project-based learning [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_virtual_learning_environments_1990s] . It expanded the earlier 1988 project of the Copen Family Fund, "New York State/Moscow Schools Telecommunications Project," which linked schools in New York State and Moscow in partnership with the New York State Education Department and the Soviet Academy of Sciences [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_virtual_learning_environments] . In 2008 iEARN has programs in 125 countries [http:www.iearn.org] . iEARN-USA is incorporated as a not-for-profit corporation in New York State.

iEARN received the Goldman Sachs Foundation for Excellence in International Education in 2003 and in 2004 was recognized as a Tech Museum [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tech_Museum] Award Laureate.
