ISD integrates toddle to strengthen inquiry-based education
Education is evolving, and the walls of the traditional classroom no longer define learning. New educational models are creating technology-enriched experiences where students learn through curiosity, creativity, and reflection, rather than solely from textbooks. As teaching practices shift, schools worldwide are adopting digital platforms to make learning more interactive, visible, and meaningful.
Learning Management Systems (LMS) play a central role in this transformation by creating digital spaces where teaching and learning blend seamlessly. These platforms allow teachers to plan, assess, and document learning efficiently while engaging with students and families. Educators can track progress, provide feedback, and support personalised learning—all essential for preparing children for an increasingly connected, technology-driven world.
Toddle is one such internationally recognised platform, widely used and highly regarded in International Baccalaureate (IB) schools.

Students benefit significantly from Toddle. Through photos, videos, voice notes, drawings, and interactive tools, they can document their learning and reflect on their growth. This process helps them develop Approaches to Learning (ATL) skills—thinking, communication, social, research, and self-management—core elements of the IB framework and valuable life skills beyond the classroom.
Parents also gain a clearer view of their child's educational journey. Instead of wondering what happens at school, families receive a direct window into classroom activities. Younger learners feel proud when their play-based discoveries are shared, and parents can participate in meaningful ways.
Teachers see some of the greatest advantages. By reducing administrative burdens, Toddle supports collaboration, insight-sharing, and responsive teaching. Educators can more easily determine what students need and adjust their methods accordingly.
In Bangladesh, International School Dhaka (ISD) uses Toddle to support learning in the Primary Years Programme (PYP) from Early Years to Year 5 (ages two to ten). IB teachers can design lessons aligned with the PYP's transdisciplinary themes—"Who We Are", "Where We Are in Place and Time", "How We Express Ourselves", "How the World Works", "How We Organise Ourselves", and "Sharing the Planet"—without switching between multiple tools.
As education continues to evolve, it is important to recognise that technology should connect people, not replace them. Toddle excels in this. It makes learning visible and reflective, bringing students, educators, and families closer together. Children need to think critically, act with empathy, and engage responsibly—and platforms like Toddle help nurture exactly that kind of education.
