I really did enjoy this course, I like that she mentioned about different types of questions, keeping curiosity alive and that when questions stop, the learning stops. Loved it!

I loved the idea of using questions to spark further inquiry or curiosity in the conclusion of a lesson. The question stems are going to be a wonderful resources. They are organized in a way that will make them very useful

Fairly solid and entertaining, but I think it is a bit more geared towards primary versus secondary educators. I say this as a lot fo the questioning takes a lot of time and isn’t as easy to evaluate. So perfect for 24 kids you see everyday, but not as practical to use as much with 150 kids you see for 45 minutes each day that you have to prep for content heavy standardized tests..
