This document provides an overview of a workshop on the role of information and communication technology (ICT) in the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP). The workshop covers several topics over two days:
Day 1 includes sessions on setting the stage for ICT in the PYP, essential elements of the PYP curriculum and how ICT can support them, collaborative planning for ICT integration, and developing an ICT policy.
Day 2 focuses on further developing an ICT policy, using ICT to support student reflection and self-assessment, developing individual action plans, and sharing outcomes.
The workshop utilizes various online resources and encourages participation and collaboration between attendees. The overall goal is to facilitate participants

Shifting Education - Embracing the Transformation #OTRK12Dave Truss
On The Rise K12 - #OTRK12 Spotlight Presentation: David Truss is Vice Principal and Lead Administrator of Coquitlam Open Learning and Inquiry Hub Secondary School, (as well as co-founder of Inquiry Hub). The Inquiry Hub was just recently named the recipient of the Ken Spencer Award for Innovation in Teaching and Learning from the Canadian Education Association. David has been in education for 17 years, with two of those years as a Principal in China, and the rest of his experience in Coquitlam, BC. He has worked in schools from Pre-K to Adult education, and he has an interest in blended learning and the use of technology to create open, connected learning environments. His 'Pair-a-Dimes for Your Thoughts' blog has been his open learning journal for the past 9 years: pairadimes.davidtruss.com
While you have all resources for learning at your disposal, when studying for an academic degree, the resources needed to upgrade your knowledge are seldom available. This presentation tries to highlight the workplace learning in the present context and technology choices. Older, formal, pyramidal learning structures are giving way to more fluid, more agile and more collaborative approaches. The skills of the teacher or trainer are more about engagement and storytelling: the skills of the learner more about social capital to be effective in community, collaborative learning spaces and the ability to learn and learn again over time. It’s a more continuous process of change: less about learning in abstract classrooms and then going back to work. Learning is ongoing.

My talk was on "Developing Future Ready Education Institutions in India"
This was made with Jon Schatzky and Barney Trezona.
As a task in our MYP Areas of Interaction workshop, we worked together to unpack on AOI for students. We chose Approaches to Learning, and then focused on 'Social'. Using the document "Making the PYP Happen' and its trans-disciplinary skills, we then decided to create a rubric for the skill of 'Conflict Resolution'.

Ideas for integrating inquiry and differentiation with AOI'sStephen Taylor
Jon Schatzky and I have been working on some ideas on this MYP workshop. None of the work presented here is definitive, but some of the graphics might be of use. The editable powerpoint is available for download.
Big thanks to Cameron Hall for his great work on visualising the Areas of Interaction.
This was a PowerPoint presentation for my summative project in my International Business class. It was based on a country of our choice, which happened to be Hong Kong. We were given a list of information that we had to find out about our country that was related to international business relations and customs.

How should our higher education institutions respond to innovations in new AI...Sue Beckingham
Title:
How should our higher education institutions respond to innovations in new AI-based language processing software (like Chat GPT)?
Summary
Education Development staff and units are already receiving enquiries from academics who are concerned about new AI-based language processing software (like Chat GPT) and more recent innovations from Microsoft and Google, using current internet search data. This session will summarise main issues and the most likely developments in this software before suggesting major steps which every institution could/should take to ensure that we take advantage of its considerable educational potential.
Outline
A leading expert on artificial intelligence (AI) and its application to learning, Donald Clark, suggests that the date of ChatGPT’s official release:
“...will go down in history as the day a new wave of innovation around AI was given birth. This will change everything in learning.” (1)
In its own words:
“ChatGPT can understand, generate and respond to human language. It is a sophisticated technology that can help in various applications like chatbot and other language generation tasks.” (2)
ChatGPT became the fastest-growing software application of all time, immediately generating media headlines such as: “Goodbye homework” (The Telegraph) and “AI bot ChatGPT stuns academics with essay-writing skills” (The Guardian)
Academics are running pilots/trials (3) and have already demonstrated that ChatGPT can:
• Write assignments and reports (which can be adapted to communicate to different levels of audience) and achieve pass grades at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. (4)
• Grade assignments against assessment criteria and produce an appropriate feedback report. (5)
• Write module specifications. (5)
• Produce lesson plans for specified topics. (5)
• Be a useful study aid (6)
• Construct several different drafts on a given topic. (6)
• Produce outlines for essays or reports. (6)
• Write working computer code. (7)
• Produce illustrations from a written description. (8)
ChatGPT’s success and new products (such as Bing from Microsoft and the Bard from Google) raises fundamental questions about its use by students. Will they use it to enhance learning (as ‘study buddy’ or ‘writer’s assistant’) or as a sophisticated plagiarism tool (which cannot yet be reliably detected by tools like Turnitin)?
This session will summarise main issues and the most likely developments in this software (9, 10) before suggesting major steps which every institution could/should take to ensure that we take advantage of its considerable educational affordances and potential “PedAIgogical” impact (11).
