Common Sense Media's resources are research-based, high-quality and easily adapted for WAB's context.

Grade 12

Delivered Sessions

Digital YOU
Put your best foot (and face) forwards in managing your digital reputation and security.

Suitable Resources

Your Brain on Tech
Sleep, distraction, procrastination & (micro)goals. How can we prevent problems and how can we put our tech to work... so that we can put it away sooner.

Resources for Flex, Social-Emotional Learning (PSE) and Approaches to Learning (ATL)

This section is under continual development. One of MrT's projects this year is to gather needs, create resources and pilot sessions. If your team needs a workshop session, let me know. In spring 2019, we'll organise them for the following year.

We can make clear connections between social-emotional learning, the IB ATL framework and supporting resources from the DQ Institute, Common Sense Education and the ISTE Standards for Students.

Working towards high competency as digital global citizens will support WAB in many of its FLoW21 targets and in implementation of the IB MYP & DP programmes.
