#AugmentedReality isn’t ‘edutainment’ when you practice observational and inference-making skills as you discuss what you see in an AR WW1 museum on the soccer field. Observe for detail, talk, rationalize, note-take, share thinking, consolidate with other groups. #NISinquire

#ActiveLearning at the core. Model Diplomacy is a great strategy to unpack how and why countries make foreign policy decisions, for better and for worse. This simulation provides a deeper understanding of the disastrous decisions prior to WW1. #NISinquire

To get ready for their DP exams, G12 econ students are reviewing like mad. May their results reflect all the hard work they've put in these last 2 years. #NISimpact

Speed dating is not only a good way to find the love of your life, it's also a good way for DP students to review economics. The research shows that we learn more by teaching others.

Part of the #ModelUnitedNations experience is to strategize. Delegates are caucusing in order to determine how to approach the debate. #NISinquire #NISimpact

[NIS I&S @NIS_IndvSoc]

The House has come to order! NISMUN VI, our in-house Model UN conference has kicked off! Delegates are debating the real-world challenges of nuclear disarmament and the arms race in space. What solutions and compromised will emerge? #NISinspire #NISimpact

[NIS I&S @NIS_IndvSoc]

How can we understand historical documents with depth? Affinity mapping allows students to identify similarities and difference in perceptions of big ideas. The discussion leads to greater understanding and depth of analysis. #NISinquire

[NIS I&S @NIS_IndvSoc]

Do you have what it takes to be an archeologist? Grade 6 students are doing their best to #NISinquire and see what they can learn by examining the tools and technologies prehistoric humans had access to.

‘Circles of Thinking’ is a great discussion-listening-feedback approach to learning. Circle 1 discusses and involves all, Circle 2 listens and later gives feedback on the discussion quality. Then they switch. Engaging learning! #NISinquire #NISinspire #NISinclude

Today in G11 we went old school and reviewed economic diagrams on whiteboards. Can you draw the circular flow of income diagram? Be sure to include the leakages and injections. #NISinquire

[NIS I&S @NIS_IndvSoc]

What causes a shift versus a movement of the demand curve?

G11 economics students created their own market scenarios and then tested their classmates on which is a movement and which is a shift.

Identities & Relationships is one Global Context we could touch on in G11 History by looking at personal documents from the teacher’s family going back 80-100 years. We all have a fascinating personal history. What’s yours? #NISinquire #NISinspire #primarysources

[NIS I&S @NIS_IndvSoc]

First class back with G12 History. Sliding in with a collaborative review of terminology before getting back down to business. A big year coming up for our wonderful graduates-to-be. #Classof2024 #NISinspire #NISimpact #HistoryMatters

What’s going on in the world? Grade 7 had taken this week to #inquire and teach each other current events!

At the Nagasaki Museum of History and Culture, G8 deepened their understanding of the city's international history. They also created Hanga, which are traditional Japanese prints.

As part of their extended learning trip, G8 visited the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum.

The G12 econ students are reviewing hard for their May IB exams. May their results reflect all the work they’ve put in these last 2 years! #NISinquire

[NIS Secondary School @NIS_Secondary]

We all have our own story in time, place and space. Last day of G12 History class was fortunate to have Mr. G’s friend share his experience growing up in Moscow/USSR during the end of the Cold War, giving an important perspective and showing that we are all the same! #NISinspire

[NIS I&S @NIS_IndvSoc]

‘Nested Conversations’ are a great strategy to share thinking, perspectives, and consolidate understanding. What were the MOST significant factors that allowed Hitler to become a dictator? Not a simple question to answer. #NISinquire
