Bundle of Resources for Teaching the IA Inquiry Project for IB Digital Society

If you’ve just starting teaching IB Digital Society this year, you’ll know that there are hardly any resources out there to use, apart from the textbook

I’ve uploaded the full set of lesson presentations that I am using for the IA (Inquiry Project) aspect of the course, with presentations, suggested activities and the 3 example IAs and Process Documents provided by the IB

I would recommend that you start with the activities shown in the ‘Analysis of
Exemplar Inquiry Projects’ powerpoint. Get your students to look at the 3 example projects, and then ask students how they would mark them, using the IA Rubric. Finally, ask students to compare their grades with the grades from the IB

You should then be ready to start the next powerpoint ‘Creating Your Inquiry Project (IA)’. Students should use the ‘Evaluate Your Topic’ template to decide on an emerging technology to investigate, then complete the Process Document template.

Finally, students should prepare a set of slides and a script for their 10min video using the templates provided.

I am hoping to add seperate bundles for the IB Digital Society Standard Level course soon, as well as resources for the teaching the Extended Essay for this course

Please do give me feedback on these resources as I have also started teaching the course this year, and would love to know if you have found these useful, or if there is anything you think could be added / improved or removed!
