For senior students and teachers in Secondary school, the lockdown period has amplified the use of technology in all areas of learning and teaching; be it in more technical subjects or the arts. Platforms such as Teams, Managebac and Flipgrid have permitted for creative, engaging and innovative learning to continue, notwithstanding location.

在目前的阶段，无论是专业学科还是艺术课程，高年级教师的教学和学生的学习对于技术上的要求会更高。不管我们身在何处，Teams、Managebac和Flipgrid为我们提供了具有创造性、参与性和学习性的平台。

Farah Sun, Head of Secondary, shares with us the technology her division has been taking full advantage of and how this period is also preparing students for life beyond Secondary school.

中学校长Farah Sun与我们分享了她所在部门一直充分利用的技术，以及这段时期如何为学生的生活做准备。

During this period of eLearning, how are we making sure our graduating students are preparing for their upcoming exams?

在线教学的这段时间，我们的毕业生如何准备他们即将到来的考试？

Our graduating students are actively involved in eLearning on Teams and Managebac. They are given a variety of assignments that use exam-style questions to practice perfecting their analytical and critical thinking skills. 

我们的学生在Teams 和 Managebac平台积极参与线上学习。他们有各种各样的作业，这些作业用考试式的问题来练习、提高他们的分析能力及批判性思维技能。

For teachers, like Ms. Hayley Edge, who has many exam groups, they are coming up with creative approaches for exam preparation. She is using a flipped-classroom approach to ensure students recap and review specific units of work and make revision notes. Students are also assigned exam-style questions twice a week to check understanding and give feedback that builds on their exam technique. Even though Ms Edge is in England, she schedules several live sessions per week for each class to address any questions, concerns or queries her students may have.

 对于Ms. Hayley Edge这样的老师，他们有很多考试小组，老师们会想出一些有创意的备考方法。她使用翻转课堂的方法来确保学生复习特定的作业，并做好复习笔记。

What kind of support is available for students to prepare for assessments while learning virtually?

学生在进行线上学习的同时，可以得到什么样的支持来准备考试?

Our IBDP students are being exposed to a number of revision tools such as “Kognity”, which is an online database of IB exam questions that can be set as formative quizzes and “Quizlet”, in which teachers can create lists of keys terms and their meanings for each IB topic, which the students can use in different ways as memory aid games. Our teachers are also introducing our students to “nearpod”, which is a platform that engages students in the classroom with interactive learning experiences.

我们IBDP的学生可以使用大量的复习工具，比如“Kognity”，这是一个IBDP考试题目的在线数据库，可以设置为形成性测验和Quizlet，教师可以为每一个IB主题创建一系列的关键词及含义，这样学生可以使用不同的方式进行学习。

Our IGCSE students are being introduced to a new AI-powered platform from Century Tech (/), covering the core IGCSE subjects of English, Maths, and Science. 

我们的IGCSE学生将开始使用一个来自Century Tech (/)的新的人工智能平台，其中涵盖了IGCSE的核心学科：英语、数学和科学。

It is an exciting new intelligent intervention tool that combines learning science, AI and neuroscience. Beginning with a diagnostic task, Century can assess each student’s prior knowledge and grasp of individual skills to create pathways for learning a topic. It uses learning speed and studying patterns, such as whether a student prefers watching a video or reading a presentation and their time spent on each question, to work out the optimum learning pathways through a topic for mastery.

这是一个令人兴奋的新智能干预工具，结合学习科学，人工智能和神经科学。从诊断任务开始，Century可以评估每个学生的先前知识和掌握的个人技能，为学习一个主题创建路径。它利用学习速度和学习模式，比如学生是否更喜欢看视频或阅读演示文稿，以及他们在每个问题上花费的时间，通过一个主题找出最佳的学习路径，从而达到精通。 

How do we keep preparing them for their life beyond Secondary School?

我们如何让他们为中学毕业后的生活做好准备?

During the period of e-learning, our students are developing their self-regulation and independent study skills though for instance, logging in on time for a Live lesson, checking for resources and assignments, completing research tasks, mastering new technologies and submitting work to meet deadlines. 

在线学习期间，我们的学生正在发展自我调节和独立学习的技能，比如按时登录现场课程，查看资源和作业，完成研究任务，掌握新技术，按时提交作业。

Our IBDP students are still being supported by our University Guidance Officer, Mr. Jonathan Mellen, with their university applications using the platform “Cialfo”. Cialfo integrates directly with the “Common Application and Parchment” so that you can send transcripts, school profiles, and letters of recommendation directly to the US colleges. Teachers can upload letters of recommendations for individual students, which are then used to support their applications.

我们的IBDP学生仍然得到我们的大学升学指导老师Jonathan Mellen先生的支持，他们的大学申请使用Cialfo平台。Cialfo平台直接进入“普通申请和文稿”，这样您就可以将成绩单、学校简介和推荐信直接发送到美国大学。教师还可以上传学生的推荐信，然后用这些推荐信来支持他们的申请。

All of our Secondary teachers have been using Microsoft Teams and the “Meet Me” video function for lessons. For instance, Ms Gillian Wong, one of our Character Education teachers, shared that in one of her Live lessons with Year 8, there were 17 students present out of a total of 20. As Ms. Wong is back in England at the moment, she started the Live lesson at 4 am UK time, which was 12 noon China time. There were students joining in from locations all over the world such as Korea, the USA and New Zealand. 

我们所有的中学教师都在使用微软团队和“见面”视频功能上课。例如，我们的品德教育老师Gillian Wong女士分享了一次她在8年级的现场课，总共20名学生中有17名在场。由于Wong老师目前正在英国，所以她在英国时间凌晨4点，也就是中国时间中午12点开始了现场课。有来自世界各地的学生加入，如韩国，美国和新西兰。

Her students are working on the unit Identity and have been exploring their own personal identities. They are now finding out about other people in the world, as well as exploring Celebrations and the reason for or how people celebrate. This will lead them to find out about other people and their cultures, way of life, festivals and ceremonies. They have been assigned the task of creating a collage for “Celebrating Diversity”. 

她的学生正在研究单位身份，并一直在探索自己的个人身份。他们现在正在了解世界上其他人的情况，并探索庆祝活动以及人们庆祝的原因或方式。这将引导他们了解其他人及其文化、生活方式、节日和仪式。他们的任务是为“庆祝多样性”创建一个拼贴画。

In Lower Secondary English, Maths, Science and PE lessons, teachers and students are interacting through a platform called “Education Perfect”. It is an online teaching and learning programme used by students across the world designed to work within your existing Learning Management System. Students can continue their learning through a personalised library of scaffolded, curriculum-aligned lessons, designed for everyday learning, revision, consolidation, and extension.

Ms Freda Humber, our Drama teacher, has had to be creative in her use of new technologies for teaching drama. For instance, Ms Humber has been tasking her students to experiment with a platform called Flipgrid, described as where social learning happens. Flipgrid allows learners of all ages to find their voices and share their experiences. Ms Humber asked the students to use Flipgrid to introduce themselves. They had to take on multiple roles as the writer, producer, director, and performer. Their task was to create a short film that you introduce yourself. Students were also asked to be creative and consider lighting, music, props, and costuming. 

我们的戏剧老师Freda Humber女士在使用新技术教授戏剧方面很有创意。例如，Humber老师一直在给她的学生布置任务，让他们尝试一个名为Flipgrid的平台，这个平台可以进行社交学习。Flipgrid平台让所有年龄段的学习者都能找到自己的声音，分享自己的经历。Humber老师要求学生们使用Flipgrid平台进行自我介绍。他们必须担当编剧、制片人、导演和表演者的多重角色。他们的任务是制作一部让你自我介绍的短片。学生们还被要求有创意，并考虑到照明、音乐、道具和服装。

In addition to Kognity, Quizlet, Century, and Nearpod, our Year 12 IB students are beginning preparations to start their Extended Essays (EE) using a platform called “Callido”.  Following an initial meeting last November with one of the company’s founders, Mr. Yuvraj Lehr, we brought in this tool to assist our IB students to frame focused Research Questions, organise their research and demonstrate critical thinking. Callido is a digital companion for each stage of the EE. It provides a clear roadmap for every step of the EE, with subject-specific and criteria-aligned guidance at each stage, to enable students to develop and demonstrate the skills needed. EE Supervisors can track progress, especially interim milestones between the RQ and the first draft. 

除了Kognity、Quizlet、Century和Nearpod之外，我们的12年级IB学生也开始准备使用名为“Callido”的平台开始他们的扩展论文（EE）。去年11月，我们与该公司的创始人之一Yuvraj Lehr先生进行了初次会面，之后，我们引入了这个工具，帮助我们的IB学生制定重点研究问题，组织他们的研究，并展示批判性思维。Callido是EE每个阶段的数字伴侣。它为EE的每一个步骤提供了清晰的路线图，每个阶段都有针对特定主题和标准的指导，使学生能够发展和展示所需的技能。EE指导老师可以跟踪进度，特别是在RQ和初稿之间。

In addition to supporting our students on their EEs, Callido have another tool called Caliber, which is the world's only adaptive diagnostic for critical thinking, research and communication skills. It will help teachers to assess how our students are developing their Approaches to Learning skills (AtLs).

除了支持我们的学生的EEs，Callido还有一个叫做Caliber的工具，它是世界上唯一对批判性思维、研究和交流技能进行适应性诊断的工具。它将帮助教师评估学生是如何发展他们的学习技能。
