Wonderful stories and art about their HEROES from Middle School Kids around the world.
My Hero Learning Circles is an online global exchange that has My Hero partnered with iEARN.org. Teachers and students from around the world learn about each others’ cultures, communities, countries and of course, their heroes. The world is brought into each of their classrooms and their classrooms into the world. These Middle School Circles, MHM1 and MHM2 are very diverse, with classes participating from Azerbaijan, USA, Uganda, Russia, Belarus, Indonesia, Ukraine and Taiwan. The My Hero Project thanks you for all your hard work and for your inspiring results, that everyone can see on this page. I encourage everyone who sees this to take some time and click through ALL of the classes in this new archive of heroism as seen through the eyes of our youth.
This first MY HERO CALL TO ACTION learning circle featured 5 brave adventurous teachers and their students from Canada, USA and Morocco. Their goal was to choose a hero or hero organization to support in whatever way they saw fit and to document their actions with skype sessions, blogs, diaries, art and or short films. Below are their very impressive results! Thank you Laura, Mali, Jim, Chris and Aziz for diving in and creating such powerful work with your students to make the world a better place.

Thank you to all the hard working teachers that took part in this middle school My Hero Learning Circle. We began with 6 teachers and classes from USA, Belarus, Ukraine, Canada and Nepal. It was a challenging time with the global weather causing many schools to close for days at a time, as well as Nepal dealing with 14 hour rolling blackouts. But we still had a great exchange and interaction with teachers and students and the Organizer pages above share some wonderful heroes with this circle and the world. We look forward to working with all of you again.

This particular High School My Hero Learning Circle started out with 11 teachers and classes from Canada, Georgia, USA, Kenya, Palestine, Taiwan and Russia. As with the other circles there were many weather challenges that caused a lot of days to be missed which cut into the time to do projects like this one. BUT most everyone persevered and below we see the wonderful results. I invite everyone to click around these Organizer pages and find out who inspires teens around the world. Thank you every teacher and student for your dedication to this project.

The elementary My Hero Learning Circle session ending in June 2011 was another great success! Thank you to all the wonderful and dedicated teachers and students of this session. We started out with 14 teachers and classes from the USA, Canada, Russia and Slovenia. It was a wild ride as due to many episodes of weather around the world there were lots of weather days to make up for which cut into participating in the extra and important activities like our global online learning circles about the best of humanity. But most everyone managed to complete their projects for My Hero and below are the wonderful Organizer pages to share with each other and the world. Enjoy your summer! We look forward to working with you again in the next session of the My Hero Learning Circles.
