Inside ITGS
In order to flatten our classes the ITGS class at BISS is collaborating with the ITGS class at WAB (Western Academy Beijing). Teachers, Julie Lindsay and Madeleine Brookes will contribute to the [|Inside ITGS] blog and all members of this learning community will network at the [|Inside ITGS Ning]. Our aim is to connect our students by using emerging technologies in order to broaden the scope of our individual classes and to provide opportunities for students to learn with and from others who are not immediately in the same class and face-to-face.
