To participate in KIDS FROM KANATA, a teacher needs a computer and modem with access to a telephone line. Participants log in to the Canadian national computer packet network, Datapac, to gain access to the SciLink host computer in Toronto. Most cities in Canada have local phone access to Datapac. SciLink is also available via the Internet, a network of networks connecting educational institutions around the world. Participating schools are organized into triads with a wide geographic dispersion, with each triad hosted by a Native, Aboriginal or First Nations classroom. Students interactively conduct research about their other two triad members under headings such as Health, Environment, Language and Culture, History, Education, Economics, and Politics. As issues are discovered and developed in their own and buddy sites, students present points of view and conduct exercises in conflict resolution to develop solutions based on understanding rather than argument. 1, record 3, English, - Kids%20from%20Kanata

Pour participer au programme Les enfants du Kanata, un enseignant doit avoir accès à un ordinateur doté d'un modem et à une ligne téléphonique. Les participants entrent en communication avec l'ordinateur central de SciLink, à Toronto, par le biais de Datapac, ou par le truchement d'Internet. Les écoles participantes sont organisées en triades très dispersées sur le plan géographique, chacune ayant pour hôte une classe autochtone. Les élèves font de la recherche interactive sur les deux autres classes de leur triade dans des domaines tels que la santé, l'environnement, la langue et la culture, l'histoire, l'éducation, l'économie et la politique. À mesure qu'ils découvrent ce qui les préoccupe, eux et leurs camarades, et qu'ils y réfléchissent, les élèves présentent leurs points de vue et font des exercices en résolution de conflits pour élaborer des solutions basées sur la compréhension plutôt que sur la rivalité. 1, record 3, French, - Les%20enfants%20du%20Kanata
