Design and Beyond with Jason Reagin, host of Design Cast, and Design Teacher Kurt Carlson
Show Notes

In this unique episode we talk to Jason Reagin, the host of another IB-centered podcast called “Design Cast”. His podcast is focused on aspects of design curriculum in an IB context and includes very practical information for IB teachers. We are also joined by our MNIB president, Kurt Carlson who, like Jason, is a very experienced member of IBEN - that’s the IB Educator Network and a design teacher himself.

Our discussion included a wide range of topics from design teaching to assessment, the Career-related Programme, distance learning, and even a bit about podcasting for an IB audience. 

  • 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.
