o **To learn ‘how’ and ‘what’ we can teach in the coming decade** I believe that if we can **motivate** and **challenge** our students to become **independent inquirers** and **life-long learners** through **guiding** and **teaching** them the **skills** to do that ( i.e. The ‘how’); then the ‘What’ (i.e. Content) will develop naturally from their own **interest** and through a **negotiated** but **relevant** selection of **global knowledge** and **understanding**s suitable for that particular school and or country.

 * Apart from that – ** who can possibly foresee what is ‘around the corner’ but with the rapidity in which the world is changing we need to ‘arm’ the future generation with the best possible strategies we can offer.

What do you think?

1. The **book** I recommend as extremely useful for ‘beginners’ in getting a handle on Web 2.0 is called **“Blogs, Wikis, My Space, and More: Everything you want to know about using Web 2.0 but are afraid to ask”,** by Terry Burrows ISBN 9781 55652 7562 pub. Chicago Review Press ( US edition) – there is a UK version with a different cover and ISBN. I bought my copy from Amazon. There are lots and lots of additional websites to try out too.

Ø **I hope/wish for local Arendal schools to get to know a little about AIS**

​ ** Readers comments:- **

**From Sarah**: 1. I think that the PD day offered some insight into the style of the curriculum and learning that is offered at AIS. However, in order to find out more, you would be welcome to come and visit us again and also come and talk to our staff and students to find out more.

Ø **Always ready for new information then I use what I can use.**


 * Readers comments:- **

Fabulous! Read through the IB Learner profile and reflect on yourself as a global citizen – I think you are well on the way if not there already!
 * From Ingrid:**

Ø **Improve my knowledge and understanding?**
 * Readers comments:- **

Please do for yourself what we do ( or expect them to do) to our children:- keep learning– become a life-long learner – motivation and perseverance is what is needed! Participate in as much PD as you can manage and do some professional reading too.
 * From Ingrid:**

IB is now starting its second year on **online courses.** Look for the **Web 2.0 course** when it starts again. It is a lot of work but very rewarding if you really want to further your ability to use Web 2.0 tools and environments. []
 * From Ingrid:**

​The IB online course that Ingrid refers to is being offered again in March and may be a good option for you to follow. Also, I suggest following some of the websites and blogs and revisiting the slideshows and video clips suggested on this wiki on the 21st Century learning page .**
