Today I tweeted the header image for this post and immediately after posting, it felt like the idea would stick in my head all day long. Until now that I was able to relate that morning impulse of posting to something more solid. Did you ever wonder what brings an educator to Tweet about a famous quote? I follow a couple of users that share remarkable quotes regularly, but never experienced firsthand the connection between the essence of the selected quote and classroom practice.
Today I found that connection.

Since a couple of weeks, a number of students are using this question stems in class. The "Critical thinking question stems" help students achieve a deeper understanding of the topics they are learning during Computer Science subject sessions. The assignment is to "design" one question from every six stages and answer it. Students are told to select one question stem from each stage and provide an answer, the set of questions/ answers should serve as evidence of their achievements.
Some specimens:

Some other students opted for completing the task using audio, so the assignment turned into a simple simulation of a radio audition.
