IB IT in the Digital Society

The IB Digital Society curriculum aims to equip students with the skills and understanding necessary to navigate the complexities of the digital world responsibly and ethically. By fostering critical thinking, creativity, and ethical awareness, we intend to:

• Develop students’ digital literacy and technical skills to effectively use and understand digital tools and platforms.
• Encourage responsible and ethical behaviour in online environments, promoting digital citizenship.
• Cultivate an understanding of the societal impact of digital technologies, including issues of privacy, security, and the digital divide.
• Inspire innovation and problem-solving by leveraging digital tools to address real-world challenges.

To achieve these objectives, we will implement the curriculum through the following strategies:

• Integrated Learning: Incorporate digital society concepts across various subjects, ensuring a cohesive and interdisciplinary approach.
• Project-Based Learning: Engage students in hands-on projects that require the application of digital tools and critical thinking to solve real-world problems.
• Technological Integration: Utilise state-of-the-art technology and digital platforms to enhance learning experiences and provide practical skills.
• Professional Development: Provide ongoing training for teachers to stay updated with the latest digital tools and pedagogical strategies.
• Collaborative Learning: Encourage collaboration through group projects and online forums, fostering a community of students who support each other.
• Ethical Frameworks: Integrate discussions and activities around digital ethics, privacy, and security to promote responsible digital citizenship.
