The <strong>IB</strong> Online<br />

<strong>IB</strong> website<br />

Each year, over 20 million pages are downloaded from<br />

ibo.org – it is the largest, most comprehensive and<br />

most widely used source of information about the<br />

International Baccalaureate.<br />

Almost one third of all the pages (about 7 million)<br />

are downloaded by people searching for <strong>IB</strong> <strong>World</strong><br />

Schools. The school search option is available from<br />

every page on the site because we know that many<br />

people, having read about the <strong>IB</strong> programmes, want to<br />

find a local <strong>IB</strong> <strong>World</strong> School.<br />

Every <strong>IB</strong> <strong>World</strong> School has its own page on ibo.org<br />

that is automatically created and maintained using<br />

data from our administrative website (<strong>IB</strong>IS). We<br />

encourage <strong>IB</strong> schools to link to their official presence<br />

on our site to reinforce their relationship with the <strong>IB</strong>.<br />

Features on the website include:<br />

• a network of blogs that allow discussion on topics<br />

relevant to the <strong>IB</strong> community. Find the blogs at:<br />

blogs.ibo.org<br />

• an online store where publications, merchandise<br />

and gift items can be purchased. Find the store at:<br />

store.ibo.org<br />

• information and links for <strong>IB</strong> coordinators,<br />

educators, students, parents and our other main<br />

stakeholder groups<br />

• a ‘Find a School’ function, to enable quick and<br />

easy searching for <strong>IB</strong> <strong>World</strong> Schools<br />

• <strong>IB</strong> HeadNet, a password-protected section<br />

containing information for heads of schools<br />

• a workshops and conferences calendar, showing<br />

details of teacher training workshops and other<br />

events around the world<br />

• advertising of teaching posts worldwide<br />

• regional sections maintained by the three <strong>IB</strong><br />

regional teams<br />

• <strong>IB</strong>tv – a site dedicated to showing videos of the <strong>IB</strong><br />

community, can be found at: blogs.ibo.org/ibtv<br />

• The <strong>IB</strong>’s presence on social networks include:<br />

Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn.<br />
