Staying updated on new interface developments is crucial to any programming or software design class. This paper reports on experiences from introducing some of the many new post-WIMP I/O possibilities emerging from e. g. mobile and sensor (Microsoft Kinect) technologies. To help students remember the technologies in mind, the acronym SMILE (Speech - Movement - Image - Language - Environment) is introduced. The paper also describes some exercises developed (for C# and JavaScript) as well as lectures and classroom activities prepared especially for introducing the topic. © 2013 IEEE
