The integration of technology in the PYP
The integration of technology in the PYP
Mobile devices are present in the lives of our students. ISP has been a cutting-edge school for many years and recognized for its technology integration practices in the classroom. Technology is used seamlessly to support personalized learning and student inquiry.
We follow the AID framework for our teaching and learning with Technology. AID uses three simple principles:
- Agency – ways of being: How technology extends us and other disciplines. e.g. digital citizenship, responsible content creation and reuse, academic honesty.
- Information – ways of knowing: How you find and understand with technology. e.g. resources, collect, manipulate and present data.
- Design – ways of doing: How you design and make with technology. e.g. gamification, programming, robotics, design thinking.

Technology is not treated as a separate subject as it is in a traditional setting. Our philosophy and structure, of how technology is incorporated in the curriculum, is aligned with that of the IB. Technology is integrated into all subject areas with our Technology Integrator/Coach co-planning and co-teaching with all subject teachers to transform the learning process and develop more engaging lessons that extend students’ knowledge and skills.
