Grade 12 Ss enjoyed the Mongolian golden autumn in Gorkhi-Terelj National Park for their retreat. Mindfulness, walking, games and an opportunity to focus on their Extended Essay were very welcome #isumongolia #ISUlearning #IBDP

Enjoyed guiding DP1 Ss on the conceiving and presentation of their #TOK Exhibitions. Process of draft-feedback-review-edit was as important as the product. Other beneficiaries included next year’s DP1s. Great to see some Science objects too. #IBDP #ISUMNG #ISUlearns

Great reading. A good refresher and very affirming. Good guidance for various elements of instructional design. Thanks @adamboxer1 https://t.co/H5ioU5LieR

Great to explore a new country. Can’t believe I have left it for so long to visit Turkey. Great to feel refreshed and invigorated.

MYP3 Ss used @compoundchem to learn about the History of the Atom They posted their learning from the perspective of the scientists using social media on @padlet #ISUMNG #ISUlearns

October break In Terelj National Park #staycation in Mongolia 😀🇲🇳🌞

In their osmosis lab, MYP 3 Sciences Ss collect qualitative data using photos, record their quantitative data on a #Padlet and use a #Screencastify tutorial to process the data on Google sheets #ISUMNG #ISUlearns

DP1 Bio Ss love being back in school face-to-face. Hands-on molecule building using Molymods: ɑ & 𝜷 glucose and cis & trans unsaturated fatty acids #ISUMNG #ISUlearns

[Neil Hayes @steppescience]

School means so much more to our students than just academics. International mindedness, athletics, friendship and home-from-home feature heavily in what #ISUMNG means to DP1 students as they return to face to face learning. #SEL #ISUlearns

[Neil Hayes @steppescience]

Some great strategies here for building and sustaining relationships with our learners as we welcome them back in person. These reflect our approach to #SEL #ISUMNG #ISUlearns https://t.co/Pkg0NOf9hk

Teaching about coronavirus can help students cope with feelings of uncertainty and instability—common during the pandemic. Here are some science lessons we’ve gathered from teachers around the country.

Should students be required to turn their cameras on? A new study provides guidance on the issue.

Why you should plan in relationship-building time, keep videos under 6 minutes, collect lots of feedback, and make sure your online classroom is as organized as your real one. Worked on this with author @YoukiTerada for @edutopia. https://t.co/bLWdUwWOTi
