NIS members are involved in mentoring other schools, researching the impact of ICT on learning, and showcasing their innovative work. Most members also collaborate on international projects with schools around the world, and strong relationships have developed between Canadian NIS members and schools throughout Europe and elsewhere.
Students share data electronically.
A long-standing relationship between Booth Memorial High School in Newfoundland, and a high school in Tramore, Ireland, involves Web site design, videoconferencing and site visits. The Web-based project Butterflies Online by Jack Hulland Elementary School in the Yukon Territory, which examines the metamorphosis of a butterfly through the use of a Web cam, has attracted the interest and input of students from Australia to the United States. An exchange of e-mails and photos between Grade 6 students at Hebrew Foundation School in Quebec, and Netivei Am in Israel, has led to an electronic newspaper project. Also, the annual NIS Institute attracts international attention with educators coming from around the world to collaborate with Canadian schools.
