At around 30 minutes in we talk about using IB criteria while assessing online projects. At 38 minutes, we talk about teachers’ online options and presence.At about 43 minutes we move to talk a bit about podcasting.This episode will be presented on both Jason’s Design Cast podcast where he incorporates video and shares on YouTube and of course, here on our audio only version. Once he publishes his version, we will post a direct link here.Check out DesignCast next time you are looking to add listening options. Even if you aren’t a design teacher, design thinking is an important part of many classes (and, our lives) so I think you will find it useful.You can watch the YouTube version of this podcast on Jason's Design Cast channel.Link to the Design Cast websiteJason's Twitter handle is @diskon4noLink to the IB Matters website

In this episode, we talk to Kurt Carlson, a trainer in the IB Educator Network - known as IBEN. We will hear how the IB uses a cadre of current teachers (who take part in continuous professional development) as trainers for the entire network of IB teachers in schools across the globe. It is their work as IB Educators that ensures the IB principles and practices are in place in every IB school. IBEN members play different roles in the organization: subject area trainers, site visitors, school consultants, among others. Kurt lays out the benefits of becoming an IBEN member both for the teacher and their home school communities. Listen to see how you might become a part of this important work helping train the next generation of IB teachers and leaders. More information about the IB Educator Network (the link Kurt mentioned in the podcast) is available here. You can also learn more about the IB Organization here.
