I've never advocated boycotting of anything, but after watching that shitshow of an Oval office press conference, perhaps it's time to pause the St Patrick's Day annual event until Trump and Vance are not there any longer. Go to Ukraine and give the Shamrock there instead.

Rapid advances in AI will ensure handwritten exams are here to stay… and that isn’t the problem! Great article on AI, curriculum & and assessment from Daisy Christodoulou. ‘How assessment should (and shouldn’t) evolve in the age of AI’ schoolsweek.co.uk/how-assessment…

We're often asked how long it takes to assess a set of essays using Comparative Judgement. Here is a comparison. TRAD MARKING: If it takes 10 minutes to mark an essay, it will take 5 hours to mark a class of 30. HUMAN CJ: 2.5 hours HUMAN & AI CJ: 15 minutes 95% time saving!!

The most common teaching mistakes are things like: presenting too much not enough practice not gathering responses moving on too quickly not securing attention no examples I’m struck by how much attention we devote in education to stuff that distracts from these fundamentals.

You: "did you get enough work done this week?" Me: "no" You: "well did you at least relax a little" Me: "somehow also no"

Han sacado un libro con el que se desmontan la mayor parte de bulos negacionistas y antivacunas, por si lo queréis pillar:

Today, we spent class time reviewing for the upcoming exam. Some students asked if we’d be playing Kahoot or Blooket. I told them we wouldn’t be doing that. This is what we did instead. ⬇️

Vygotsky's 'Zone of Proximal Development' is perhaps the most misunderstood idea in education. It was never a teaching method but a metaphor for how teaching can pull thinking upward, from the everyday to the scientific. ⬇️ 🧵
