What did this globally-minded student have to say?
From a Neveh Channah student after receiving peer review from a student from LCC:
"Thank you for taking the time to read my paper. I was touched by your warm words and the gentle criticism. Yes, some of the spelling should be edited and I didn't want to
burden the reader with too many details and information....
I would love to host you here in Jerusalem and to join you personally on a walking tour through the streets of
Nachlaot."

Award-winning Global Projects
• GVC Team 06 Wikispace - (2007 Silver Award Global Virtual Classroom Web Design Contest)
• From Jerusalem to Montréal - (2007 Silver Award ISTE SigTEL )
• Flat Classroom Project - (2007 Gold Award ISTE SigTEL)
• Technospud Projects (2006 Global Schoolnet Award)
These partnerships provide opportunities for students to "be human together" (Siemens)
Karen Guth - teacher at Neveh Channah School in Etzion Bloc, Israel:
"I would say that this became a project that engaged the minds, skills, and hearts of our students. It turned the English
Bagrut project into an international research, writing, thinking, and teaching opportunity."
"From all of the work that we have done with other students, I have learned how to look over other people's
work and let them edit my own.
From working with other students, I also learned how to be patient and not always want things to happen at the exact moment I would like them to, but rather wait and spend
more time on something to make it even better."
- Matthew, grade 7
