  “Learning is a constant process of discovery – a process without end.”— Bruce Lee An interdisciplinary teaching-learning approach allows students to link theory to experience, rooting the content in real-life situations and making the learning more meaningful. Keeping this view in mind, an IDL session was organized for students of MYP-1 connecting the topic of Language and Literature-English with Individuals and Societies. A bunch of enthusiastic learners attended the guest talk by senior faculty from the humanities department that connected their ongoing topic of Child labor with the history of the Industrial Revolution. The engaging session stimulated multiple perspectives on ‘Child Rights and Issues’.  The session also helped in enhancing the critical thinking and problem-solving skills of the students and also developed a sense of empathy towards the children who are of their age group but forced to work as child laborers.

  Students of Design Technology DP1 modelled various products using the Fusion 360 on MacBook. Our students have been using Tinkercad on their iPads to good effect.

Students are not very keen to design manual posters with a social message, but when given the option to design a digital poster they are very enthusiastic as they have a lot of scope to use technology. Students love to draw, click photographs from their surroundings, and add to the templates. They have options to use a variety of font styles and sizes and add special visual effects. MYP 1 and 2 students created digital posters on global issues which they are studying in their curriculum. Through this activity, they were able to enhance their thinking and communication skills for a social cause by creating posters with visual effects, animations, and GIFs.
