The ibtiKart Language Instructional Resources Cart

What is the ibtiKart?

The ibtiKart is a resource for language instruction. The cart contains supplies for common language learning games and activities, as well as art supplies, maps, mini white boards, and more.

Accessing the ibtiKart

  • The ibtiKart currently lives in The Language Commons Alcove in New Cabell Hall 298. 
  • UVA world language instructors are welcome to take supplies from the cart 9-5 Monday-Friday. Please sign in so we can track use of the Kart and keep track of supplies.
  • Bags and bins are available for help transporting a small number of supplies to your room. Contact Hope Fitzgerald hf6v@virginia.edu if you’d like to talk about taking the cart to your classroom.

ibtiKart Etiquette:

  • Take what you need, and return what you don’t.
  • Scraps that can be reused should be returned to the cart.
  • Supplies are meant to be used during class, and returned to the cart. It’s ok to take your creations home with you if they can’t be dismantled or re-purposed by another user.
  • The ibtiKart is a shared resource for all UVA language programs; please consider the next Kart user.
