TIGed Social Media Survey

TIGed wants to know how we can use social media to expand our reach and better serve this community. We invite you to take a short survey to share how you like to use social media to communicate and share information. The survey will take about 5 minutes to complete and all participants will be eligible to win a FREE one-year virtual classroom license!

Are You Taking your Classroom Global?

Starting in September 2010, editions of News from TIGed will feature interviews with educators around the world who are using technology to bring global awareness and citizenships to their classrooms. If you are using TIGed and other technologies to forge international collaborative learning partnerships, we want to hear from you!

World Class Program Launched!

Free to Canadian educators, World Class is a learning and action program that supports elementary and middle-school students in becoming responsible global citizens. World Vision partnered with TIG to create the program's website and customized online learning spaces preloaded with resources designed to get students thinking about global citizenship.

New Feature: School Window!

The School Window allows teachers to post classroom writing, discussions, videos and images to the publicly visible school page so that people who do not have classroom access (such as parents and friends) are able to explore students' work.
