Confessions of a PYP Teacher
This podcast is for any teacher who is seeking for ways to enrich the learning in their classroom without breaking the bank. We will explore the simple steps on how to turn the traditional learning experience into one founded on practices of the PYP in 10 to 20 minute episodes. The PYP is part of the International Baccalaureate program, which focuses on developing the whole child by allowing students to create their own meaning from learning. If you’re not a PYP teacher, don’t worry. We’ll be sharing ideas that can be applied to your learning setting, because good practice can be used anywhere. https://thinkchat2020.weebly.com/podcast

C81 (Intro): What Does it Mean to Ideate?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In the design thinking process, we recognize that the issue we have defined has not been previously dealt with correctly. We may have tried to solve the problem by examining the superficial symptoms, rather than getting to the root issue. When we ideate, we have to think out-of-the-box, so we can find alternative solutions that may seem farfetched in order to move our organization forward.
In this episode, we will explore how to ideate and slay some sacred cows along the way. It's not easy to go against the status quo, but it's how we begin to evolve as an organization.
