“Why we fight”
As this is my last post before I leave the IB, I thought I would sign off by sharing with you some correspondence I have had with a person who has both inspired and encouraged me over the 7 years I have been with the organisation. Barbara Stefanics has been a faculty member for the IB’s [...]CASPAR
CASPAR, or Computer Assisted Self and Peer Ratings, is a project we have been watching for some time now out of the Centre for Excellence in Media Practice (CEMP), Bournemouth University, UK. It’s a tool for evaluating both the process and outcomes of group work in media projects and has a particular focus on assessing individual [...]Sir, you twitter!
Apologies for the rather UK-centric nature of this post and the fact that I've ripped it from TechCrunch, but it appears the British government is proposing that Twitter be taught in primary schoolsNet Generation Education
I’d like to give a little publicity to some great work being done by Julie Lindsay and Vicki Davis over on Ning. For several years now they have been designing some class and project work around the Horizon Reports which come out every year from Educause and the New Media Consortium. I’ll leave you to check [...]Kindle 2
There is much speculation in the blogosphere that Amazon are just about to launch a second version of their e-book reader, Kindle (something we blogged about just over a year ago). The guys over at The Boy Genius Report claim to have the first pictures, although they do look a little prototype-ish. It’s a welcome announcement. Not [...]Music

How To Kill an Exhibition
- The statement was made that all of the data being produced by teachers and students should be housed within a district.
- A teacher should never allow a student’s work to be posted if it isn’t entirely free of grammatical or spelling errors.

Our Exhibition - Thought Ignites Action
We linked it to the previous unit, called Children in Search of a Lifestyle. That means we've just finished researching children in need around the world and are now following it up with the Exhibition unit on action that responds to the research that the students have done. I don't know if anyone else has done this before but we've planned it well.
We're using… Continue

Exhibition Guidelines (2008) from the IBO
The Primary Years Programme (PYP) exhibition represents a significant event in the life of a PYP school and student, synthesizing the essential elements of the PYP and sharing them with the whole school community. As a culminating experience it is an opportunity for students to exhibit the attributes of the International Baccalaureate (IB) learner profile that have been developing throughout their engagement with the PYP.
In the students’ final year of the PYP, which occurs in some schools at age 10–11 and in others at age 11–12, there are five units of inquiry and the exhibition*. The exhibition unit takes place under any transdisciplinary theme at the discretion of the school. Students are required to engage in a collaborative, transdisciplinary inquiry process that involves them in identifying, investigating and offering solutions to real-life issues or problems. The central idea selected must be of sufficient scope and significance to warrant a detailed investigation by all students.
*Only IB World Schools offering the PYP are required to participate in the exhibition although candidate schools may choose to do so.
