PMI (plus, minus, interesting) is a brainstorming, decision making and critical thinking tool. It is used to encourage the examination of ideas, concepts and experiences from more than one perspective. PMI was developed by Dr. Edward de Bono, a proponent of lateral and critical thinking.
A PMI strategy can help you to:
* to brainstorm ideas
* make decisions quickly by analysing and weighing the pros and cons
* reflect upon or evaluate a product or processs after the fact
* identify strengths and weaknesses for future improvement]]> 2017-06-07 07:19:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jbalenroom121/whscech4/wish/175509078 jbalenroom121 https://padlet.com/jbalenroom121/whscech4/wish/175624225 - our thoughts ]]> 2017-06-07 19:33:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jbalenroom121/whscech4/wish/175624225 s_cooper1 https://padlet.com/jbalenroom121/whscech4/wish/175624502 grounded in student needs as decided by teachers
