The paper will demonstrate a library program of an International School in India which connects its pupils with global partners on various curriculum contents. Technology is the key component used by the teacher librarians to achieve the objective. They build awareness of global issues to pupils and motivate them to research and find partners around the world including their own country with same or similar issues. During the research process students reflect critically on their own practice and compare with the partner schools. The librarians also collaborate with the classroom teacher to take action for embedding the same in teaching. The activities have a great impact on teaching and learning and the collaborations offer a myriad of ICT and global communication skills to students.
