Serious Fun: Why Joy Matters in Modern Education
In this illuminating episode, we sit down with Emmanuel Duplàa from the University of Ottawa, who challenges us to rethink what we know about teaching and learning in the age of AI. Moving beyond the traditional classroom model, Professor Dupla shares his revolutionary perspective on why joy isn't just beneficial for learning—it's essential. From discussing how to embrace chaos in the classroom to exploring why we need to "sell interaction, not content," this conversation offers fresh insights into education's future. Whether you're an educator grappling with AI tools, a parent interested in modern learning approaches, or someone passionate about educational innovation, this episode offers practical wisdom about transforming education through the power of authentic learning and "serious fun." Discover why releasing control might be the key to better learning outcomes and how embracing uncertainty could be the antidote to teacher burnout.
