MYP

Course Outline For Technology MYP Year 2 Foundations of Technology 1 Foundations of Technology 1 is designed to give students a basic understanding of technology, the Design Cycle, and systems. The MYP concepts of communications, holistic learning, and intercultural awareness will be incorporated as students learn how technology has impacted the world. The IB Learner Profile will be implemented daily. Each day a learner profile quality will be selected that addresses the focus of the lesson for that specific day. The Areas of Interaction (AOI) will be a key component of each of our class units. The units and their corresponding AOI can be found in the table below. Approaches to Learning will be an AOI that will be addressed in every unit. Students will discover different types of technology and skills that he/she will be able to use in future careers. We will use various resources and equipment to accomplish this. For example, GarageBand, Comic Life, iMovie, circuits, Power Game, creating an egg drop and bridges. Within each of these units the following methodologies will be used; direct instruction, demonstrations, cooperative group work, independent learning, and student reflection. Both formative and summative assessment will be used throughout this course. Grading policy for academic and IB grades will follow our school assessment policy. Students will have the opportunity to earn an IB grade for each technology criterion multiple times throughout the course.
