Hello! Back at it... new school year, new school, new country! I have moved to an IB school in Switzerland and am excited for the change. Settling in and getting everything organised, and I don't have a life yet so here I am blogging again, haha. I was plotting skills, etc with my new grade 2/3 team and made a chart for myself to keep organised... then decided it might be something worth sharing! Basically what I have done is taken the ICT skills from the IB's list and have created a resource bank of apps and websites for teachers to look at when they are making sure that everything is being covered. As outlined by the IBO in “The Role of ICT in the PYP,” these are not additional skills to the existing PYP skills. These should be used to support the 5 Essential Elements of the PYP and cross-referenced with the units. https://ibpublishing.ibo.org/live-exist/rest/app/tsm.xql?doc=p_0_pypxx_mon_1106_1_e&part=1&chapter=3 InvestigatingInvestigating is to carry out a purposeful inquiry or research, to test existing understanding, discover new information and create new understanding.
