Formative assessment strategies - something new to invigorate the course without being to "traditional" and still let me see how the kids are understanding material

Google for education document - may be useful for IB Psych course or IA in particular

My three favourite websites for IB Psychology are John Crane's IB Psychology In Thinking website (www.thinkibnet/psychology), the Ted talks website (Ted.com) and the Scientific American website (www.sciam.com). Crane's website is a wealth of activities and ideas as well as guidance for the course and the IA in particular, the Ted talks get kids starting to think about why things happen and how research can be done or done better (you have to pick and choose your talks and they can be integrated throughout the course) and the Scientific American site has lots of articles on up to date research or follow up studies that can be the basis of an idea for the IA and further research.
