TIGed's Exciting Fall PD Schedule! |
 TakingITGlobal (TIG) is an online international charitable organization which serves youth worldwide through a multilingual online learning community (at www.tigweb.org) and innovative education programs (through www.tiged.org). These education programs are framed by the three pillars of global citizenship, environmental stewardship, and student voice in education. TIGed’s professional development program offers accredited graduate-level e-courses that aim to empower teachers around the world to utilize technology to create innovative and transformative global learning experiences that build 21st Century Skills and foster global citizenship amongst their students. TIGed e-courses feature: • Weekly classes facilitated online, in real time, by an experienced global educator and recorded to ensure full flexibility and access; • A private virtual classroom space that allows participants to connect between classes to share ideas, collaborate, and engage in meaningful dialogue; • Challenging and engaging readings, assignments and projects; and • An approach to learning that encourages personal reflection. Here's what previous participants have to say about TIGed’s courses: "This course has broadened my horizons in the areas of global education and highlighted ways in which I can more actively engage in these kinds of models."
