Please join me for the next cohort of TIGed's newest e-course offering, "Project-Based Learning for Global Citizenship," beginning on Wednesday, February 8, 2012. This accredited e-course is designed to develop teachers' knowledge and understanding of global project-based learning under the framework of global citizenship education. With online lectures in real time once a week, and using a TIGed virtual classroom for between-class engagement and resource sharing, we will explore why global citizenship education is so vital currently, and how project-based learning and e-technologies can help you to bring the world into the classroom. This five-week course is tailored to suit to diverse needs of educators from around the world, with personalized assignments that are directly transferable into participating educators' teaching practice.
