IB Information Technology in a Global Society HL Tutoring FAQ
Most courses have a very delineated track, perhaps being concerned with social questions or technological topics. Rarely are areas of study like these combined, but such is the case for the International Baccalaureate's Information Technology in a Global Society course. For this higher-level course, you will be required to cover a wide-ranging array of topics that span all of the major problems and questions that can arise in our contemporary technological culture. In addition, you will also be expected to know the many types of IT systems, as well as their applications to the world of business, healthcare, politics, and various other areas. Preparation for the higher-level exam can be a very difficult affair, requiring you to review of a massive amount of seemingly sprawling interdisciplinary information. If you are struggling to make sense of the material covered in class, don't attempt to navigate through the textbook alone. Rather than running the risk of wasting time trying to make sense of various difficult concepts, consider working under the guidance of an experienced tutor.
By contacting Varsity Tutors today, you can receive assistance in finding a personal tutor who can help you develop a greater understanding of your IT course, as well as help you prepare for exam day.

Recent IB Information Technology in a Global Society HL Tutoring Session Notes
The student and I worked on Force, Energy, and Kinematics today. He seems to have a good handle on the conceptual portion of these subjects, but should be careful on identifying problems that require each. In addition, his teacher seems to like to use old AP questions, in which one question can require one to use several different concepts by breaking the question up in parts. He should keep in mind that usually the assessment test writers like to make the first 2-3 parts pretty simple (basic definitions, etc.) and go into more detailed/challenging questions later on.
He should review the usage of the equations as well as refresh on the energy equations (potential energy, kinetic energy, etc.), and know when to use each. Also, to keep in mind that energy, work, and force are different values and require different approaches/you cannot equate them to each other without some sort of additional information.
*This Session: 1)Read "The Importance of Plants" and circled key words to remember details 2)Made a list of strategies we've practiced so far 3)Reviewed lesson 1 vocabulary *Remember: 1)Use your list to help you with your schoolwork and homework reading assignments! 2)Vocabulary "quiz" on Tuesday!
The student and I completed two assignments together during our session. These were assignments that he had done in the past before I began as his tutor. I taught him how to solve systems of equations. We went through each problem and I made him actually write out all of the steps. He likes to do work in his head, but I suggested that he write out all the steps so that he can see the step-by-step process later when he comes back to review for the test. He seems to be doing well with these first few assignments. Next week, we have one more assignment to complete and then we are going to start to review for the first test. We will decide if we need more sessions before he is ready for the test, depending on what we get through and whether I feel he has mastered the concepts.
We began our session going over the reading work I gave my client. The reading work required my client to use the comprehension strategy I taught to complete the retell of the story. My client used the strategy well. I am pleased with my client's success.
Today the student and I began the session with a review of vocabulary words. Afterward, we talked about some strategies for the vocabulary part of the test. I helped her review for the Reading Comprehension section. We will continue this more thoroughly in the future. I do want to continue spending less time on vocabulary during each session, since she can review this on her own. Afterward, we did some review on math. She still seems to be having some difficulties with percentages, but we will continue this topic. Afterward, we did a few basic algebra questions, which she performed admirably on.
We went through the student's material for an online test, reviewed a few of the practice questions from her teacher, and found where the info. would be located in her textbook. Then we took the practice quiz together.
