TOK RESOURCE
HOME
Andrew Brown’s Theory of Knowledge classroom activities and resource menu are presented in a spirit of collegiality and sharing. Beginning and experienced TOK teachers alike can appropriate, borrow directly or adapt freely any of this tried and trusted content.

The various units of inquiry evolve. They are tweaked each time they are tested in the classroom. Activities that fall flat or prove otherwise unsuccessful with my students are dropped from the site. The few remaining links still under construction are as yet untried in the classroom.

Critique or suggestions for improvement from visitors are most welcome.
