Today’s IB Voices guest probably needs no introduction. For those of you who have been in the IB community for the better part of our past 50 years, you’ll know this man just by the sound of his laughter, or his commanding, gravelly voice. Of course, I am talking about Paul Campbell, Head of Development & Outreach for IB Americas. With the IB Global Conference coming later this year to Toronto, Canada, it felt like the perfect time to sit down with Paul and talk about the history of the IB conference, how it fits into the greater IB mission, and reflect on some of Paul’s fondest memories of previous conferences.

In this special episode of IB Matters we talk to vendors at the 2019 IB Global conference in New Orleans. Each vendor briefly describes their products or services and gives you an idea of what expect when you visit their booth. Each vendor is also a good friend to IB educators and brings a set of experts to this conference willing and able to answer questions and help you better serve your students. Please visit these and other vendors at the conference - their participation sustains this gathering and your engagement will keep them coming back.0:00 Introduction 1:25 Kognity 4:15 Hodder Education 8:15 Toddle 11:15 IB ARMS 13:30 Sanford Harmony 17:15 ManageBac 20:30 Achieve 3000

In Oct 2018 the International Baccalaureate will release the long-awaited Primary Years Programme (PYP) Principles into Practice. Elements of this new curriculum framework have slowly been released over the last year and it has ignited a buzz of critical conversations across the PYP community. In anticipation of the release of these Enhancements, Angeline Aow has interviewed a number of leading PYP educators from around the world about their thoughts, hopes, expectations and developing understanding of the upcoming enhancements. In this episode, Angeline interviews Carolina Gianetto about transdisciplinary learning.  Carolina has been a PYP educator since 2000 as a starting homeroom teacher in Brazil. Since then she has worked in international PYP schools in Sao Paulo, Brazil and Moscow, Russia where she has been a teacher, PYP coordinator, Assistant Principal and is now the Head of EYs and Primary at St. Francis College in Sao Paulo. Carolina has been a PYP workshop leader and site visitor for over 10 years as she worked in IB Americas and in Europe and the Middle East. You can follow Carolina on Twitter, or visit her website here.

All content are the individuals’ perspectives and are interpretations of programme documentation that these IB Educators have access to through their IB schools and IB Educator Network roles.
