The International Baccalaureate embraces diversity and helps to feed enquiring young minds. However, its breadth and flexibility can make tracking students’ learning progress and reporting to parents challenging tasks for schools. This presentation will talk about why technology is being used in the presenter’s schools to monitor students’ progress against set standards and identify issues that might be affecting a child’s performance so that appropriate steps can be taken sooner to raise achievement. Visitors will hear how when stored electronically in one place, data such as students’ attendance, assessment and pastoral information can be combined quickly and easily, providing a holistic view of a child. This is critical to delivering more personalised teaching and learning and can reduce the administrative burden of reporting to parents.

Project-based learning is a methodological approach where students proactively deal with contextualised challenges. Solving these problems or projects helps them in learning both content and skills. Using examples of projects that have been completed, the use of new technologies in adding value to this learning is demonstrated, in relation to five key elements. These elements are quality of the final product, cooperation in real time, access to a variety of sources, personalization through PLE, and monitoring and evaluation. PRESENTED IN SPANISH
