Field Trip at Savar!

On the 3rd of November AusIS has planned a study tour to a factory in Savar for all students in IBDP. It will be a daytrip from 8:00AM to 2:00PM. This trip aims to improve students' concepts of various subjects and connect real life field work to their learning. This looks to be a fun opportunity for the students of IBDP in AusIS and is a great idea for their international mindedness and to evolve as a global citizen.

The purpose of the field trip is to engage students into further understanding of their subjects by using a real world example. The subjects in focus of this trip lead towards Business Management, Economics, Environmental Systems and Societies and Physics. With students in DP 1 completing the introduction to business management and microeconomics it will certainly guide them to a better conceptual understanding of the subject, which everyone knows is the key element to any IBDP subject.

What is interesting about this field trip is how beneficial it will be. In DP1 everyone has picked Business Management or Economics as a group 4 subject, or even both. So it seems to be an exciting occasion for students in IBDP. Thrilled to see how it goes!

Learning TOK in a fun way!

TOK, also known as Theory of Knowledge, plays a special role in the IB Diploma Programme as it helps students reflect on the nature of knowledge and understand how they know what they know. Since the beginning of the new academic year, DP-1 students have started to take a look at the concepts and ideas of TOK. TOK has over 12 concepts which includes: Power, Culture, Responsibility, Truth, Perspective, Values, Objectivity, Justification, Evidence, Explanation, Interpretation and Certainty, along with 4 knowledge frameworks including Scope, Perspectives, Methods and Tools and last but not least, Ethics. Recently, students of DP-1 have done a fun activity named “TOK Object Based Activity.” In a previous class, each student was given a card which had a specific TOK concept written on it and was told to explain it. In the following class, students were asked to bring an object which represented their given TOK concept. I must say, some of us had some very unique ideas...

Visit to EMK Center: A Hands-On Adventure in Technology and Innovation

Students from IB DP Year 2 and WACE 11 had an exciting and educational visit to the EMK Center, diving into the world of technology through interactive activities. The day began with a fun introduction to Makey Makey, where students turned everyday objects like paper and pencil into touchpads, blending creativity with basic electronics. They then engaged in a problem-solving session, learning the importance of asking the right questions before diving into solutions. Next, the students experienced the thrill of coding with a drone flying activity, where they controlled mini drones using tools similar to Scratch. Additionally, they got hands-on experience with SketchUp software, creating 3D models of houses, which helped them understand the basics of design and architecture. A key highlight of the visit was exploring Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR), where students immersed themselves in virtual environments and learned about the practical uses of these cutting-edge techno...
