Time to SMILE It's Episode #8 in Silver Lining for Learning with Paul Kim from Stanford
Wednesday, May 13, 2020

Can you create a good question? The art of asking a good question was the road to literacy and success for centuries and that rings even more true today. Or does it? This session will rise above that as Paul Kim will be asking you for a “better” question or a “great” question, not just a good one. But what does asking a great question entail? SMILE (Stanford Mobile Inquiry-based Learning Environment) elevates the level of questions generated and evaluated. (More on SMILE; video, Stanford SMILE pi).

My blog post for Silver Lining for Learning: Episode 08: Rethinking Education with Great Questions, May 6, 2020.
 
For those who missed the show last Saturday May 8th in Silver Lining for Learning with Paul Kim  here is the link to Episode 8 (video: 1 hour, 4 minutes): https://youtu.be/beHIZ620HzY. Topics addressed included "Alien Pedagogy," guided-discovery learning, game-based learning, mobile learning, culturally sensitive and inclusive instruction, building learning ecologies, designing interactivity in MOOCs, using social media to enhance learning, project and problem-based learning, AI-based question generation and evaluation, higher-order thinking. etc. Besides that, not much in an hour. :-)
What a great show! See pics below.


This session was co-hosted by Punya Mishra from Arizona State University and Chris Dede from Harvard University.



As you can see, it was informative and fun.


Come to our next show...each Saturday at 5:30 pm EST.
Episode 9 | The viewfrom Italy.


We stream it live each week from Zoom to YouTube:
