TOK WEEKEND PRESENTATION

GROUP PRESENTATION FOR PURPLE A

1. How do we evaluate the blog?

RESPONSES:

a. Strengths

Opportunity to ask and discuss anybody’s question or knowledge.

It’s educative and stimulates intellectual thought.

b. Weaknesses

Important TOK information shouldn’t be posted only on the blog this is because we don’t always get time to check.

Not enough time to visit the blog and contribute.

2. How should the blog be improved?

Multimedia facilities should be enabled so that things like videos, pictures can be posted.

Links to materials discussed in class should be posted there.

Answers to a “poster’s” question or knowledge issue should be directed to their inbox.

Post well specified and important information.

3. What can we do to sustain and maintain the blog?

Make references to interesting questions posted on the blog during class.

Invite other teachers and students from other IB schools to the blog.

Follow up suggested improvements.

4. Can the blog meet the TOK aims?

Providing a platform and springboard for discussion of knowledge and its issues.

Provision of tools for knowledge evaluation- research on knowledge issues can easily be done since we would already be online.
