@dtaylor2008 @mckaywrigley @klbeasley @kevincrouch Fantastic! I’m surprised we didn’t think of this earlier

@educatorrichie Congrats buddy! You’ve always given your best to your students. Glad to see you being recognized for your dedication

@teachcreamer @peter_prep This is awesome! We’re working on the same thing now. I’m also curious about what you’re using to get the games on the Pi. We’re experimenting with recalbox but having some challenges

Friday’s #STEM challenge had students using #designthinking to create a zip line carrier for Godzilla. Students really impressed me with their testing and design improvements #MyCISB

Grade 5 students experiencing the #VR room for the first time as part of our #whoweare #provocation Students had a great time inquiring into the human body #MyCISB #PYP Thanks @SharecareInc for the great application

Friday’s #STEM challenge was the classic egg drop. Students used #designthinking to create parachutes. We experienced great success and had an awesome after. Another great day at #MyCISB

Friday #STEM challenge was to create a bat that could hang upside down using limited supplies (no tape / sticky tack). All the groups were able to complete this challenge using some #designthinking Another great afternoon at #myCISB #pyp

Friday #STEM challenge was a great success! We did a cue card skyscraper challenge. The students built higher than imagined. A good lesson in students can be more capable than we realize. Recycled the cards for future use too! #design #mycisb #pyp

Had a lot of fun during the first Friday #STEAM challenge of the year. Thanks @robives for the inspiration and resources. Students had a blast and we all learned a lot about the design cycle. Looking forward to finishing next week! #MyCISB #design #pyp

Had an amazing author talk with @BrouwerSigmund Wow! He was amazing! He gave some great insights into the story creation process and his #storyninja philosophy. The Justine McKeen series has been fantastic for our #inquiries into #issues and #action Highly recommend for #pyp

@MsAshleyHeath @CISBeijing @schmudkr The students did a fantastic job! I was impressed with the model, writing, and presentations. Looking forward to the #pyp #exhibition in the coming months!

[Ashley Heath @MsAshleyHeath]

Today G5 Ss @CISBeijing blew us all away as they showed our community they were #knowledgeable about the function and interconnectedness of various body systems #pyp #studentagency #visiblethinking #togetherisbetter - Well done @schmudkr @MurrChris !

‘A simple Zoom graduation,’ they said. Easy, I thought and agreed. ‘BTW, we want to have separate feeds for spotlighting the speaker and the keynote / videos. Also, we want to run sound through 3 separate channels. Now about streaming separately to parents... #MyCISB #virtualgrad

[Chris Murray @MurrChris]

Students asked about what they’ve been seeing on the news. So, we launched an #inquiry in the final days of school #myCISB It was a time of #listening and #learning still so much to still do! #pyp #UNSDG #inequality

[Chris Murray @MurrChris]

So happy that I got to end the year with some of the wonderful #myCisb students. Thanks to @MSMakeCode and @stulowe80 we had a blast learning how to make a game! The students were so into it! #coding #games
