Hi,

I saw the results, thank you. I wonder if each category was assessed one by one as Collage, Poster or drama, or...?I have not seen any news concerning it and I wanted to learn...In fact you made everyone happy with the distribution style of the awards. My students will be very happy. See you soon. Love,

Hüzan Akyol

Burdur Projects Leader

(Projects were assessed as it was said in the ICT Broshure. Peer assessment formed 60%, and the thoughts of 10 jury members 40% of the overall evaluation based upon the given criteria. The only team, which realized the poster, collage and drama processes as expected, belonged to the Ağrı Team. That's why they got the Special Award of the Jury: Prof.Dr. Ümit Serdaroğlu. The sharing of this team will be done during the National Award Ceremony to present the expected.)

All the participating teams are always considered as the "Most Successful teams" when they finish and deliver their web addresses and of course they also have some additional awards.
According to the philosophy of the “Turkish Center for Schools of Quality”_ and of course_ of the “Seagulls Project”; every participant is a winner! Through this approach, all feel happy and peaceful and I know they also congratulate the members of the other teams. Their blogs and web pages will go on living. Please visit their projects and share your feedback with them. Even each Turkish team has an English ppt to share what they did.
