TakingITGlobal – TIGed – Contest Educators
- Quote: “TIGed is looking for the best examples of creative, collaborative, technology-rich global learning experiences from students and educators all around the world. We want to hear from you about projects and activities that have opened your students’ or classmates’ eyes to global and local world issues, and the different ways that you have used technology and social networking to achieve this. “
Note: Taking IT Global is a site that is doing some amazing stuff with kids and one that surprisingly doesn’t seem to get a lot of notice out here. Winners of this contest will be announced at NECC.
