“Critical Thinking for Teachers” is a series of interactive radio programs and podcasts for teachers in rural areas of OAS member states. These audio programs strengthen teachers’ ability to teach critical thinking skills in mathematics, literacy, science, and citizenship education. Woven into an entertaining drama series, the participatory lessons feature short pauses that allow teachers to respond to questions, partake in group discussions, write plans for their classes, and more. Participants learn practical skills to apply in the classroom immediately. The primary audience is teachers with little Internet access who teach 11- to 14-year-olds, but any teacher can benefit and anyone can participate.

Dear colleagues,
You will receive instructions in a welcome email in the next few days. However, if you would like to get started, I recommend that you begin with your audio page:
http://www.oas.org/en/iten/Documents/Audio_Program.html
Here, you can download the program guide, a useful document that will orient you to the concepts and exercises presented in each episode. Then you can click through to any episode and start listening.
Warm regards,
Dan
Dear colleagues,
Good news! The problem with the audio files has been corrected. Please go ahead and start listening! You will meet Ms. Dominguez, Ms. Brown, and some of their students, beginning with Charles and Henry.
Thank you again for your enthusiasm. I look forward to reading your reflections and feedback here.
A question for you: We chose to share the audio files via SoundCloud because it gives you the option of playing the episodes live online or downloading them as podcasts on your computer or mobile device. Would there be advantages to ALSO posting the audio files on our YouTube channel? It would play as a video, but with a static image of the OAS and/or ITEN logo.
Thanks and have fun listening,
Dan
Hi everyone,
For the newbies, there are two moderators in this forum. Daniel is working on opening the first and second link to the audio program so we will need to wait and study the document we have in our possession showing the lessons in the program.
I am seeing everyone asking about the same issue and I believe we can exert some patience by following my advice until we get a note from Daniel saying the links are open and ready.
To access the link just click teacher Education and you then click on audio program, until we ate told differently.
Let us keep our focus please. The excitement is appreciated. I am sure.
You are right Shonella, I got that
message, too. We will be in contact. Thanks. pleasure.
Hi everyone, did any of you could listen to Audio video 1, because it is not on the videos, they start from 3, 4, 5...but not 1 and 2. did you have luck listening to them let me know how to find 1 and 2 thanks.
I have not been able to locate them. However I saw an earlier message from Daniel saying that there were some technical issues which he would rectify and notify us when all is well. Also I would like to know exactly where to go/link so that I can access the audios when they are available. Thank you.
Has anyone been able to locate podcasts 1 and 2? Or have they not been uploaded yet?
