Technology Hotspots@ HS-AISC
IB teachers always wonder about how to use Technology with their students. I have also seen students struggling with keeping their two year work at one place, especially the ones which are not organized. How do we teach them organizing skills using Technology. Thank you Walter for sharing the following with us.
IB Psychology E-Portfolio
Technology Integration Objective:
Students will create an online site for storing notes, vocabulary, class handouts, quizzes, test, and for reflection on their understanding of the materials covered in the IB Psychology curriculum.
Why this goal?
- Desire to help students organize their digital world or at least with IB Psychology.
- Create a place where students can take responsibility for storing class artifacts.
- I have had students create websites as a semester exam project the past two years and wanted my tech use to the next level.
- I wanted to make sure the students had the tech skills they needed to go on to university. This stems from reading articles about universities requiring students to create e-portfolios.
- Desire to have students reflect on their work

- share your ideas and notes with others in the form of links, images, videos and different documents.
- .to make the students compete with each other by creating a wall and placing their creative ideas on it.
- to make class participation happens
