We enjoyed participating in the My Hero Project through the iEARN network. Students had the opportunity to travel outside our small, rural community on a virtual trip around the world. They gained insight into the lives of students from diverse backgrounds and found commonalities. They engaged in an exchange of ideas and even small gifts with others across the ocean and learned about their differences and similarities.
In reading about others' heroes from around the world and discussing their own beliefs about what makes someone a hero, the students discovered common threads running through the stories that many shared. Many students around the word find their hero amongst their immediate family. Individuals who are selfless and brave, kind and understanding and lead us to become better people are those we most often look up to and call our heroes.
