I knew there was a reason for me to keep registered! I teach grade 10 Civics in a Burlington, ON high school, and this new opportunitiy fits in perfectely with the new curriculum expectations for the course. Students are required to become active, global citizens and provide a plan of action - this is a PERFECT forum for that!
If there are any teachers out there who would like to work on using TIG as a venue to get their students involved, please contact me! It would make a perfect summative activity. I'd love to work on this with you.

well I am a teacher of science for senior secndary. It does sound really great to have an informal platform where the students could exchange their views freely on a global scale. But I do not have any clear plans standing at the moment. I would definitly like to hear your ideas.
For me I am a physics teacher from kerala(India).
Wish you a happy new year

Hi,
I'm a former Student Trustee with the Toronto District School Board, and I agree with Susan that this project sounds like a good tie-in to the g.10 civis course, who knows, maybe some secondary school students could get involved with the research etc.. let me know if I could be of any help!

Hi,
I am a stay-at-home-dad-citizen-voter. Our children are 24, 22, 20 and 18. As it stands, democracy has become a bunch of systems which all compete for survival at the expense of our tax money. When will we work to bring democracy up to date from personal to communal, from local to global and from self-destruction to self-control and community self-government?
The way to go about doing this should be to line up our voting power to synchronise and to line up our 4 levels of elected representatives from school trustees with the town and city councilors with the Members of Legislative Assemblies and of the National Assembly in Quebec to the Members of Parlement and to syncronize their elections in teams that are then set to serve from personal to local to provincial to federal, if need be.
For a complete read on the project I offer to initiate such renewal, please see:

Let the learning begin anew for all,
Benoit17
