We are going to tap into a learning method that is over 2,000 years old. It is the Socratic discussion method. The Socratic method flips the classroom instruction from one where the instructor shares information on a topic to one where students share what they know about a topic. This dialogue is achieved through open-ended questions.

Through this method, you will help students discover what they know about a topic like peeling back the layers of an onion.

This episode will take a closer look at the elements of the Socratic discussion method, tips for putting it into practice, and ideas for taking it online.
