Navigating My IB and the IBO website

I added a section on the IB Educator Chat website for IB Resources. When the IB moved from OCC to MY IB, I was mostly just looking into it to look at the ​"Programme Resource Center" section. I didn't look much beyond there, but have just spent some more time exploring and found loads of great resources!

I also didn't realise how many materials were on the IB's website. I tend to only go there to look up IB schools or for PD, but actually it has many interesting webinars, videos and other resources. As many people are benefiting from the IB Educators Chat - they should also check out the IB's webinars. It's definitely worth looking at the resources they have, because there are so many. I even spend time 'going down the rabbit hole' just by looking at the resources in the bibliographies for their various guides and other reports. 

One of the features I like is at the bottom of the PRC page, is always a link to the community forum. If you are on the general programme page, then it will take you to the forum for that programme (example, MYP), but if you are in a specific page, like a subject group, the link will taker you to the forum for that group.

​The YouTube channel also regular publishes videos, for example "Social Emotional Learning" shared three days ago! There's loads of short videos to share in your staff meetings and newsletters too (for example, a one minute video on "Understanding International Mindedness") I think they are also updating a lot of their resources, like this video for "What is an IB education"

​In the Learning and Teaching section in each programme, there are some really useful resources for your non-teaching staff too.

For example "Social and emotional learning teacher support material" would be great for your counsellors and learning resources team. "Teaching and learning with technology" and "STEM education in the MYP" would be great for your tech integration team!

If you are finding the websites difficult to navigate I put together a quick video to help:
