How to teach children CRITICAL THINKING | Conversation with Stephanie (

Stephanie Simoes and I discuss the concepts and needs of critical thinking and science literacy and how to teach these to children.
Stephanie is the founder of Critikid.com, a website that teaches children how to rationally analyze information, arguments, and even their own thought processes through videos and activities. You can find her work on Instagram and Facebook (@critikid).

Yes great conversation. Any plans to translate your work/videos to Swedish? 😊

[@IvoryEmbassy]

@@Dirt_Andy Thanks! I've considered translating them into Spanish but never thought of Swedish; it's good to know there's interest. I'll look into subtitle options in Spanish and Swedish, at least. ;) But currently, it's a one-man show. Great to see the support from back home :)
