04 Jul 18
1:30 PM - 2:45 PM

Tracks: Speaker

Jim Lyttle shows how humor can be used to encourage critical thinking. Bringing years of experience in the classroom to his presentations, he warns you about the pitfalls often minimized by consultants and advocates. You will understand how humor discouraged mistakes without discouraging learners, how it encourages a playful curiosity about the truth and accuracy of claims people hear on television and in politics, and how humor implies a detached, rational analysis of such claims. You will also be aware of the many ways in which humor can offend or confuse the audience and how easily it can erode your credibility, if misapplied.
