ICT Seagulls Project will start soon!

Dear All,
I have had the great excitement of starting a new academic term again. Tomorrow, Bogaziçi University will start its new academiz year and my Ed 101 Course will start again with 60 students. This is one of the most important reasons of why I like the month September: It takes you to the hogs of your lovers_ who are the students for me. However, we must not forget the departing side of it. Most of our students leaft their families and came to the hostels of the schools. This must be somehow difficult for them. Young or old- I wish good luck to all of the students.
ICT Seagulls Project is going to start its 5th year. With a great joy, we feel proudful of having a greater family after each year's award ceremony. Almost every city of Turkey and in three big countries (India, USA, South Africa) we fly. As usual there are some main differences within the format of the Project. They are as follows:
- We have added three more main issues to the theme: Let's own our mother tongue, Ethics in media and Woman Rights.
- In the assessment process, 50% belongs to peers.
- Award ceremonies will be held at the schools at the beginning of the coming year. However, this year we have had a surprise for you: The successful teams will have the right of participating in the "11th International Convention on students' Quality Control Circles" which will be held in Turkey in 2008.
- All the circles from primary school to university will design web pages.
- Drama, Poster and Slogan Preparation, Collage issues will also be included in webs.
- The prerequisite of participating in the project is being a member of QOMER.
Registration will be realized between 1 October-1 November 2007.
My next blog will be about our Project 2010 Istanbul Europe Cultural Capital City: Bigg_İst. I hope you follow me. With peace and love...
