Kids leave mark on the world:  Students share project with U.S. audience

Sarah McGinnis, Calgary Herald (published Sunday, July 02, 2006)

Through a flickering video link to Washington, 20 passionate Calgary kids spent Saturday teaching Americans why Canada is so special....In clear, crisp voices, the Grade 4 children from Glendale Elementary School shared their love for this country in a live Canada Day telecast.

This is the first year a Canadian province has been profiled at the renowned Smithsonian festival and the class was there to help Education Minister Gene Zwozdesky promote Alberta to Americans.

Albertans did their homework:  Festival organizer praises our showing in D.C.

Todd Babiak, The Edmonton Journal (published Saturday, July 01, 2006)

"But only a couple of hours after the festival opened, Kurin could see it would be a success. Art and culture was a given, but even more experimental aspects like the SuperNet video-conferencing demonstration worked."

"I watched African-American kids from Washington, D.C., talking to students from Alberta," Kurin said, with a smile. "Kids they don't even imagine exist. All of this, it makes connections that no book or movie or brochure ever could. That's what all this is about."
