What a way to start the weekend – on a bus with a load of teachers. Off to SCIS across the city to get together with other IB teachers in Shanghai. The first session was with ITGS teachers. I haven’t taught this course but it seems to be similar to the IGCSE course with a real focus on the social implications of ICT. It was great to chat to 3 other teachers and share resources. I came away with the following links and a heap of ICT based movies.
- BISS Puxi wikispace – a heap of resources that are used in this school
- BISS Pudong tudou channel – a selection of ICT videos ready to stream on a Chinese version of Youtube
Next session was based on TOK. Not really that useful – as there were 40 + teachers it was set up as a Q & A session. But again, a few useful links:
- Eric MacKnight’s TOK page
- Eric’s public file server with TOK resources
The organisers created a wikispace to share resources – a great idea!
