Online Learning at Istanbul International!
Like many schools around the world Istanbul International School has ventured into the exciting world of Online Learning these past couple of weeks! Have a look at what we’ve been up to on our instagram page!
Our Early Years department has been continuing their education on a variety of platforms. First and foremost the early learners are receiving daily work via the Class Dojo platform. Our teachers are preparing explanatory videos for lessons and uploading them to Youtube. Finally Circle Time is carried out on video conferencing software!
The Primary department is using a mixture of tools to carry out the educational program. They use Google Classroom as the general hub, and to support their learning they use Classkick, recorded videos uploaded to Youtube, Google Hangouts to chat with students and video conferencing software for morning and evening sessions. Our primary Physical Education teacher is preparing morning exercise videos for the kids, and our Art, Music, Turkish and English Support Teachers are carrying out live lessons with the tools mentioned above.
The Middle School department has been using Google Classroom throughout the year. The adaptation period for students of this age has been more seamless. Additionally they have been using video conferencing tools to continue their education program. Online classes of Physical Education are ongoing and our Middle School Music teacher is preparing a short online instrumental performance with a small group of talented young musicians!
The High School department has also been using Google Classroom throughout the year and adaptation for the older learners has been more seamless than any other department. The High School department is carrying out full live sessions over the Zoom platform and supporting their learning with a variety of different tools such as Wizer, Charade, Quizlet and Kahoot.
