TIGed is short for TakingITGlobal for Educators, a program that provides rich, interactive global learning experiences by leveraging the resources of the world. TIGed brings a global education prespective to most innovative applications of online social networking and digital media to create relevant, engaging and student-centred learning opportunities.

TIGed allows educators to harness the power of the TakingITGlobal community in a way that fits the needs of their learning environment. More than just a stand alone course management system, TIGed combines an easy-to-use online toolset, or virtual classroom, with collaborative Web 2.0 technologies, global education resources, and hundreds of thousands of global youth leaders in more than 200 countries. Using TIGed, you can connect your students to global perspectives, opportunities for creative expression, and interactive resources to help better engage them in their learning.

Everything on TIGed has been developed with teachers in mind, with help from teachers, and in many cases, began as an idea submitted by our teacher members!
