    NBCHS Over Coffee - 210: Justin Isinger

    Justin Isinger has spent his entire 4 year teaching career at NBCHS. In this short time, he has established himself as an educator who builds amazing rapport with his students and strives to make learning fun and enjoyable. In addition to this, Justin has also embedded himself into our extracurricular programming by contributing his expertise to both our football and badminton programs. Born and raised in Biggar, SK, Justin graduated from Biggar Central School after first graduating from his mom’s classroom, a now retired 4th grade BCS teacher, and after accompanying his dad to assist and observe in his veterinarian practice on numerous occasions. More impressive than all of this however, is the fact that we did not make a single Biggar pun the entire episode! Yes,... I know! We refrained from saying things like, “Justin teaches at NBCHS, but his mom taught at a Biggar school”, “His dad’s veterinary practice specialized in Biggar animals”, “Is Biggar really better”, and “Justin is doing so well here, but does he dream of a Biggar life someday?” Listen in to this episode of NBCHS Over Coffee to get behind the scenes of this amazing young educator, hear his deep connection to both family and place, and learn how he has sown the seeds of best friendship with current NHL player Kirill Kaprizov.  Episode Credits: Producing, Recording, Tech - Ryan Kobelsky Podcast Cover Art - Elizabeth Millard Staff Photography - Mark Kotchorek Music - Madison Hemmerling (The Gladstone) Host - Jeremey Verity

    NBCHS Over Coffee - 206: Rob Wall

    Rob Wall was born and raised in the “City of Champions”, Edmonton, AB.  As a kid, Rob grew up in the freedom of the 80s! That freedom included having the town by the tail, simply telling your parents you’ll be home for supper before leaving in the morning, and being a spectator to the Edmonton Oilers Stanley Cup parades during the Oilers heyday in the late 80s.  After graduating from the University of Alberta, Rob began his career in education in 1991 and has spent the past 26 years at NBCHS educating his students in Accounting, Science, Theory of Knowledge, Communications Media and Coding among other subjects. Rob’s interest and skills in technology led him to complete his Masters degree in Educational Technology from the University of Saskatchewan in the 2000s, a time when tech in education…well… still used floppy disks. Rob even began an amazing EdTech Podcast in 2006 before any of the platforms that you are using to access this podcast existed! Listen in to this episode of NBCHS Over Coffee and get to know an individual whose knowledge and natural teaching ability, combined with his personable, approachable demeanour and quick witted sense of humour, make him an outstanding colleague and educator (and, you may also like to know if you can still get a copy of the first album Rob ever recorded on guitar!).
