If there exists any school leaders who want to participate in the event, they must call me to register and get more information.
I wish Mrs. Kalpana Joshipura good luck in her hard work and also I would like to congratulate her and her school for the commitment to quality.

Summer School Ended, Now It is Holiday Time!

Dear Colleagues,
The Summer School, which forms the 3rd Academic Term of  universities in general, ended in my university, and thus the Summer Holiday has started for me. I had many dreams, but unfortunately, it has started with a terrible flu. I have been in bed for the last three days. I hope, from then on, I will recover fast and go on my Summer days in a healthy and joyful manner, for I NEED IT! I believe I DESERVED IT. I worked hard since the last October. I gave my courses and also I coordinated 2012 International ICT Seagulls Project (www.bilisimcimartilar.com). To manage the Award Ceremony in an active spirit, I need a good rest. I am planning to organize it in late September or early October days.
This year I traveled abroad three times. The first one was in December and it was to Lucknow, ındia to participate in the 13th ICSQCC. We were there as an eight-person-Turkish Delegate including our dearest Dean, some colleagues from Bahçeşehir, Kadir Has Universities and from St.Benoit High School, and some students from our university. In February, as a result of an unexpected invitation, I went to Brussels to participate in an EU- NGO meeting, namely P2P. The last one was in June to Amsterdam to participate in the wedding ceremony of a lovely sister of mine from USA. Leslie Janoe with her wonderful family members and friends made my days I spent there. I hope until the end of year, I might be able to visit some interesting places as well. You know, I love travelling and making new friends. Taking photograph is my another hobby with whom all my students are familiar. :)
My Summer School days were very fruitful and joyful with my 40 lovely students. They learned how to apply İmece Circles and they produced 50 İmece Projects through SQC methodology. Tomorrow, I will start my holiday. I will be in Aegean Region for two weeks. BYE!
