EdTech 21stCenturySkills

Our teacher training project, in collaboration with British Council, is organizing three regional trainings in Istanbul, Ankara, and Malatya. During the trainings, there will be sessions on technology and 21st-century skills. You will also be informed about and given the main output of the project: the handbook. Check the details and register to attend.

We’re proud to announce that our handbook is out now! 📘✨

As an outcome of the British Council–supported project Technology Supported Lesson-Course Planning, this handbook has been developed to support educators with practical guidance, fresh perspectives, and innovative approaches to teaching and learning.

We hope it will inspire teachers and contribute to continuous professional growth.

EducationalTechnology

As INGED, we are deeply saddened by the recent attack on a school and firmly condemn all acts of violence in educational settings.
Schools must be safe havens for everyone—from students and teachers to administrative and support staff. We do not accept any threat to the life and safety of educational workers or students within our learning environments. We stand firmly against all forms of violence without any excuses.
We extend our deepest sympathies to all school staff and students affected by this incident and wish a speedy recovery to the injured.

Some victories are not just written in history, but they are also carved into the spirit of a nation.

On March 18, we remember the courage of those who stood firm at Çanakkale, even when the odds seemed impossible. They faced uncertainty, fear, and darkness… yet they did not lose their way.

Today is a day to honor sacrifice, resilience, and unity - values that shaped a nation in its most critical moment.

May we remember with respect, gratitude, and reflection.

Happy International Women’s Day! 🌸
Today, we celebrate the strength, achievements, and inspiring contributions of women in education and beyond. As INGED, we proudly support equality, empowerment, and the voices of women who shape our future every day.

ProfessionalDevelopment

This week, we held the first meeting to initiate the handbook writing process of the INGED project titled Tech Supported Lesson Planning and 21st CC Skills Project funded by the British Council. During the meeting, the overall framework of the handbook was discussed, chapter responsibilities were allocated among the project team, and the necessary briefings were provided to ensure a well-structured and coherent writing process.

This initial meeting marked a significant milestone in the project, strengthening collaboration and establishing a shared vision for the development of a comprehensive and impactful handbook. We look forward to advancing the project through collective effort and sustained cooperation.

The Technology-Supported Lesson / Course Planning project, designed and coordinated by INGED, funded by the British Council, and hosted by Bursa Technical University, brought together English language educators from across Türkiye for an inspiring Event Showcase.

The event highlighted innovative practices, collaborative learning, and a shared commitment to technology-enhanced lesson planning and 21st-century skills.
