The 3C’s of Digital Society

The subject Digital Societies is a whole new experience for all the new IBDP students. We look into Global Societies, Technology Innovation, Multimedia, Political Stakes, etc. Digital Societies are divided into several categories and organized according to the terms. During our journey in Term 1, we looked into the hardware and software, evolution of computers, malwares, security, licenses and databases. The students had the opportunity to learn about the digital world, its evolution, and its impact on our societies. In term 2, we are currently working on the Social and Political use of Technology, such as Home and Leisure, IT in Health, Business and learning about the philosophy and arts behind Ergonomics. Digital Societies is categorized in 3 different core elements (Content, Concept and Context). Students can increase their thinking and communication skills through various discussions with their facilitator and peers. We investigate the impacts, laws and regulations, the pros and cons, and share our opinions and ideas with one another for a better future and growth in Digital Societies.

Concept, Content & Context are core essential to our Digital Societies subject. This subject could possibly come off as intimidating to some students because of the lack of knowledge surrounding this subject around the world. Digital Societies isn’t about coding or programming, together we learn the development of technology over the generations and learning its impacts which help us to be aware of our surroundings. Digital Societies is also similar to Environmental Societies instead we learn about technology. The 3c’s developed by the IB curriculum, its purpose is to help students learn to organize certain topics and subjects for better understanding.

Cooking Up a Storm with IBDP Students

The students of DP Year 1 and DP ear 2 got to experience several immersive cooking lessons throughout the past few weeks, as part of their CAS activities. Gaining notoriety for being a fan- favorite class amongst students, they have gained a lot of experience and knowledge by using hands-on approaches in cooking and preparing the ingredients. Mr. Asad has been a wonderful guide and taught as many skills as possible including how to use a knife, how to chop vegetables and similar skills. Students were encouraged to participate in cooking by ‘sharpening’ their knife skills, helping prepare the ingredients for assembly, and taking turns in stirring or frying various items on the portable electric stoves provided. During the first class, the students got to partake in making ‘palak pakoda’, or more commonly known as spinach pakora. Each student had their own share in creating the batter, cutting the spinach stems (as well as dicing leafy, fresh toppings) and frying the crunchy snac...

MUN 101: Introducing the DP 1 Students to Model United Nations

With the new academic year beginning, the new DP 1 students were introduced to the idea of Model United Nation s (MUN) for CAS on August the 13th.
