    BLOG POST: http://wp.me/p1PivJ-fY I would like to share with you an idea. We are presently having the students involved in the Primary Years Programme's (PYP) culminating Exhibition use the Middle Years Programme's design cycle (left) as a fundamental part of their process. As educators we all know how important transitions are; be they between classes, horizontally across a year level curriculum or vertically across a Programme of Inquiry in the PYP. We take our students at the end of the year (or throughout if we are that organized) and let them experience the new area of the school they will be going to and arrange for them to get to know their new teachers a bit. Now, I spent seven years learning my way around the PYP and have acted as a mentor for the exhibition numerous times. As the technology coach for teachers in grades 1-12 and the MYP Technology teacher in my present position I was approached by the grade five team asking how I could support them with some sort of video production for this year's efforts.
