As TIG's vibrant global community has evolved, educators have sought to integrate its resources and focus on action-based learning into their teaching. This was made easier in 2006, with the launch of the TakingITGlobal for Educators (TIGed) program. TIGed comprises a community of educators interested in empowering their students to think and act as world citizens, a collection of resources that facilitate the inclusion of global perspectives in the classroom, and a virtual classroom that allows students to use technology to learn with and about peers the world over.

- Become familiar with the educational tools and resources available through TakingITGlobal's online learning community for young global leaders;

- Realize the power of global collaboration and social networking in facilitating student-led learning and engagement;
