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.)

12. ICSQCC in Lucknow, INDIA

Dear All,

As you all know, the 11th International Convention On Students' İmece (Quality Control) Circles (ICSQCC' 2008) was organised by Kalbe Mer and Sü Ge Der with the support of Ministry of Culture and Tourism, Ministry of National Education, WCTQEE, CMS, Yeditepe University and 22 outstanding Turkish organizations in August, 2008.

"...It has proved to be a landmark in the History of QCC Movement under your dynamic leadership. The convention generated tremendous response by enriching presentations, thought provoking deliberations and interesting competitions in various streams. It also provided an excellent meeting opportunity for exchanging experiences and ideas to establish communication links for mutual benefit in bringing about quality improvement and excellence ...(V.Kamran)".
As we already know, the 12th International Convention On Students' Quality Control Circles (ICSQCC' 2009), is being organised from 2nd December to 5th December, 2009 by City Montessori School & Degree College, Lucknow in collaboration with World Council For Total Quality and Excellence In Education (WCTQEE), QCI International, USA and Quality Circle Forum of India (www.cmseducation.org). My CMS Family are expecting global participation of students, academicians, quality experts, professionals and managers in this mega event. The finalization of participants from various countries for ICSQCCs shall be through the DGs of respective countries. So as the Turkish DG, I invite all the Turkish Quality experts, academicians, professionals, teachers and student teams to contact with me for participation at the 12th ICSQCC slated from 2nd to 5th December, 2009. I am sure the convention is going to be a tremendous success under the dynamic leadership of Mr. Jagdish Gandhi, Mr. PC Bihari and Dr. Vineeta Kamran.
With best wishes and loves to all my dearest colleagues.

ICT Seagulls and Assessment

Dear All,
After a very busy work, 2009 ICT Seagulls Project Circles delivered their projects in Blogs and Web pages and finalized the "Peer-Assessment" Step. Now, the "Judge Assessment" Step starts...Those 19 project teams who completed their projects have already deserved the "Achievement Certificate". Now, quality is hidden in the details... We will determine the ones who fly the highest. The results will be announced during the first days of July. We are very proudful that for 3 years we have been leading the first "International SQC" Projects. :)
In order to see the 2009 projects, please visit; http://www.bilisimcimartilar.com/en . With love, peace and collaboration.

Schools Close

Dear Dosts,

Today, schools in Turkey close. They will open on 24th September after the Ramadan. All the students and teachers will have a looong holiday. While attending the classes, it might be difficult and tiring to be in the position of a student. However, everyone will soon discover that life is a school. It is never limited by the walls. Walls and borders within us. When we are ornamented with "Life-long learning philosophy", we will have started the "continuous improvement process" which is the basic target of living.

We also in Boğaziçi University collected the Final Exam projects, assessed them and handed in the results to the Administration. All of my 47 students were very successful, innovative and creative this term. I feel proudful with them (See the photo above). They created wonderful projects based upon the PDCA Mindset. They formed SQCCs and learned how to apply this methodology to their future classes as teacher trainess. I wish "Good Luck" to all of them. Without them, my life would be meaningless.
2009 ICT Seagulls Projects ended. Now peer-assessment process is on. We extended the deadline of peer-assessment to 20th June. Be aware of this change! I have been looking forward to having the forms. With love and peace...

ICT Seagulls Fly...

Dear All,
After a very busy academic year; out of 25 project, 18 ICT Seagulls projects were delivered completely and punctually. We would like to congratulate those teams. From then on, we can list the steps to be taken:
1. Each team will assess other projects according to the given criteria collaborating with their teachers, student members and even parents. The deadline of this step is 14th June. It takes 60% of the whole evaluation process.
2. Judges will assess the projects which will sum up 40%. Deadline is 25th June.
Then, the results will be shared with the community. In order to learn more, please visit the web page: www.bilisimcimartilar.com.

Good luck.
