The new TOK curriculum

The new TOK curriculum

So far I have developed a coherent new programme for the new TOK orders. This is outlined on my TOK site here TOK new orders course outline

21st Century Classroom

January:

This weekend I´ve learnt a lot of new tricks regarding the Google suite of applications. I think one of the best things i´ve learnt this weekend is how to use scripts within google spreadsheets. There appear to be so many scripts available which really transform the use of google drive.

I also attended Betts where I met with a number of proactive teachers and learners, some of the most impressive were with regards to the development if ideas behind flipping the classroom. I´ve been developing many of these ideas independently but it was fascinating to see so many different techniques and ideas, which I´ll be incorportating into my teaching practice. Check out my flipped online learning at Learning about the causes of the spanish civil war

Targets for next academic year will be

1. To take more teachers and students to BETTS in January 2015
2. Follow up on my inservice day in March to SIS teachers on Blended Learning My Presentation on blended learning
3. Development of more DP leader initiative in training (mac book programme) started in April 2014
