Abstract

The chapter contains a personal reflection of the challenges encountered when a multilayered job transition took place: a PhD scholar doing scientific research and teaching in the Greek high-school system with traditional means and teaching philosophy transformed into an IB (International Baccalaureate) Science teacher using a constructivist teaching approach and technology tools to facilitate instruction. It is discussed how the i2Flex methodology was instrumental in guiding this transition. Relevant interventions in the IB classroom are described and discussed. An account of how previous experience in different sectors affected this transition is presented. Finally, i2Flex-based practices promoting student engagement and fair assessment in a fully online teaching setting are discussed.
