Description
The International Baccalaureate Virtual Community provides a powerful and safe collaborative platform for students and teachers in 3,000 IB schools in 139 countries. In this virtual presentation, learn how the Middle Years and Diploma Programs in your district may use these free tools now and what is planned for the Primary Years Program’s teachers and students. If you have IB students in your district, you may need to examine your state and federal policies before allowing students to use email, blogs, wikis, and closed social learning networks.
