Learning new and creative ways to teach skills and techniques
- Examples of other projects
- General networking
To experience how other schools are developing Product Design and Design Thinking skills and strategies. To discuss assessment, particularly with regard to DP Design Technology.
Just a chance to share best practice!
Assessment, differentiation, development of skills in Criterion C, time management.
Unit ideas, different ways of assessing
I'm looking to just get ideas for assessment and units, and to learn from others who also teach Design.
good (practical) practice inputs and ideas. ideas for Design language acquisition including command terms. IA DT new: what the heck :)
E-portfolio
We are being gifted with a completely new building with two dedicated Design wings. Hard to believe, but true. And the spaces are huge. And we have half of a floor just for food design--which we have never done before. So I'd love to get in touch with people to get ideas of how to and how not to lay out our new spaces. We only get one shot at this, so getting as much advice as possible would be an incredible opportunity for us.
Second, we started switching from just Digital to Mixed last year and want to talk to others about skill building throughout MYP. When would X be more appropriate, you have to do Y before Z and this particular method works well for us...that kind of thing.
I have taught Design Tech. in the UK for 20+ years but this is only my second year of IB MYP. I hope to get a better understanding of how MWP works and the differences from UK KS3 / GCSE
I hope to have a wider spectrum of experiences in relation to MYP design.
Resource sharing. MYP Practice in the classroom.
MYP Assessment, Unit Planning, Design Cycle Review, Lesson Structure, Project Ideas
Better understanding of the implementation of the subject in an IB context. Sharing of ideas, units and objectives.
Achieving 7's particularly in Criterion C.

As we are a new Design department this year, I would like to get some ideas for projects and meet other Design teachers...
Various ways that the Design Strands can be written/displayed for the e-portfolio
Share portfolio work at MYP year 1 ranging to MYP year 5.
Share good practice with other digital design teachers as to structure of course (after 13 years , you get in a rut!)
Gain ideas for other creative digital design products ( but also product product design for my colleagues)
E-portfolio year 5 MYP moderation experience and feedback
1. Sharing resources
2. Successful strategies in the implementation of the curriculum
3. E-portfolio and sharing samples of work
4. Networking
5. What projects or units are covered
6. Collaboration
1. Development of creativity and divergent thinking skills (creative solutions),
2. Integration of hands on skills and the impact it has on learning / abilities,
3. Efficient ways to meet criteria while maintaining an engaging unit / stress-free classroom,
4. Opportunities for partnerships / resources
