Sample units of inquiry - 1 views

  •  
    The units of inquiry in this publication have been developed by Primary Years Programme (PYP) educators and trialled in IB World Schools. The examples included are intended to support teachers in developing and documenting units of inquiry from their own school's programme of inquiry as well as those outside the programme of inquiry. Some of the units are based on central ideas documented in the PYP sample programme of inquiry included in Developing a transdisciplinary programme of inquiry (2008). Additional units, including subject-specific inquiries, will be added to this publication over time.

Teacher's Trial by Tech - 1:1 Programme « syded - 0 views

  •  
    As a school we are trialling a year 7 class of 30 students with iPad2 and an optional sign up for staff. The staff trial will last 6 weeks, before the students are given a device for the summer term. The hope is that this will allow us to identify key issues with pedagogy and staff development alongside concerns with our wireless network.

    "After having spent my previous post pondering and wondering about the dangers of committing all our work to The Cloud, I am pleased to announce I have returned to my old, more positive self - some might say returned to my senses! - and today I'd like to share with you how a group of four of my Year 10 students (14-15 year olds) collaborated online to produce a presentation for their GEP (General Education Programme) session today."

Non-Fiction Resource Books for the Primary Years Programme of Inquiry - 0 views

  •  
    This is a list of books which I hope will be a useful resource for teachers and librarians for the Primary Years Programme of Inquiry of the International Baccalaureate. I have tried to choose books which do not have a narrow focus but which are trans-disciplinary in concept. Please contact me if you would like recommendations for books on specific subject areas, and at a particular age level. The list will gradually be added to and improved as I have time to add to it and as I get more feedback from teachers and librarians. I have divided the list into the six organizing themes (though I realise that there can be considerable overlap between various themes) and have made up separate lists for fiction and non-fiction titles. I have given an indication of reading levels to each of the titles. Titles newly included in this updated list are marked *

  •  
    "This week six scientists and one ex-government official were sentenced to six years in prison for multiple manslaughter. Part of the case against them was the falsely reassuring comments they made before the earthquake struck. On More or Less this week we look at how the probability of an earthquake is estimated. "

    Ski Stunt Simulator may very well be my all-time favorite physics game. As with most physics games, the premise is simple: You control a 2D skier performing various tricks on the slopes. Where Ski Stunt Simulator stands apart from other physics is the fidelity of that control. This isn't a simple ragdoll game-far from it. In fact, Ski Stunt Simulator is the result of collaboration between a programmer at Relic Entertainment and a researcher at the University of British Columbia, and the robust simulation definitely demonstrates an academic level of engineering.

    his activity will be spread over at least a week. It combines skills from both the language and ICT programmes of study and is ideal for years 5 and 6. After introducing what an auction is, pupils produce a professional-looking auction catalogue and then hold their own auction with a bid limit of 50p. The spreadsheet is set up to automatically analyse and graph sales patterns in the auction. The session ends with an antiques quiz.
