Technology Integration

At AIS, we approach the integration of technology into the curriculum through the lens of our Mission Statement and IB Continuum. The Learner Profile of the Graduate, ISTE Standards and other IB Programmes documents inform teaching and learning with technology.

Every member of the school community shares a responsibility to foster technology literacy in all learners. Technologies’ are anything that aids or extends you (the entire school community) Teaching and learning with technology (2015, IBO)

Our Vision:

Learning with technology enhances teaching and learning, inspires open-mindedness and collaboration, and prepares us to make principled contributions to our ever-changing global society.
