C118: How are our walls interactive and transdisciplinary?
Apr 01, 2023 Season 3 Episode 118
Lu Gerlach

Greetings friends!  Welcome to another week of our PYP Classroom Success Criteria podcast series!  We are going to have a lot of fun exploring interactive walls that are transdisciplinary. 

More talk about the walls?  Yep.  They are the most underutilized teaching tool that we have at our disposal, so let’s talk about ways that we can use them better.

This episode was sparked by a question by our old friend, Shailja Datt, the PYP Coordinator at the Horizon Japan International School in Kanagawa. 

Shailja asked: Are the walls interactive?

A couple episodes ago, we talked about interactive bulletin boards as a teaching tool.  But this time, we are going to examine how we can use them to build deeper connections. 

Meanwhile, our friend Nirali Parikh, a transitional kindergarten teacher, at the Creation Village World School in Celebration, Florida posed a simple question. 

Nirali asked:  Is it transdisciplinary?

The bigger question should be, how do we create walls that are interactive and transdisciplinary?

This episode will focus on answering this big question!  Join us!
