A really useful & clearly argued case for more hard thinking in classrooms - along with convincing students such mental struggle is actually a good thing, by @andrewwatsonttb.bsky.social www.learningandthebrain.com/blog/the-ben...

It's becoming one of my top 'things I'd wish I'd known' Working memory ≠ short term memory Working memory = storage AND processing Inattention/distraction can be WM overload. Great book -complements @andrewwatsonttb.bsky.social''s excellent Learning Begins. Lots of useful ideas for the classroom.

Fantastic session with @andrewwatsonttb.bsky.social yesterday about presenting at a conference. SO useful in the run up to researchED @tombennett71.bsky.social ... thank you! Every talk needs a blueprint, and LOADS of ideas about that. Brilliant. #cogscisci

Too often, I fear, adults blame students for the distractions we create. Cell phones, I'm looking at you. At the Learning and the Brain conference in San Fran (2/20-22), I'll argue we should rethink that blame. www.learningandthebrain.com//conference-...

A recent TeacherTappUS question prompted a 'debate' about teachers putting smartphones in lockers... wish I'd had this excellent blog to hand... but here it is. We should model it because it can be really difficult to model. @andrewwatsonttb.bsky.social www.learningandthebrain.com/blog/a-smart...

Big discussion about finals at my school. Wish I'd had this to show people. The astonishment from my students that ALL exams are cumulative was, well, astonishing when I moved from UK to US Thanks @andrewwatsonttb.bsky.social #cogscisci #iteachphysics www.learningandthebrain.com/blog/the-gre...

I’m inspired a bit by @andrewwatsonttb.bsky.social’s writing on attention in Learning Begins. To wit, we might tell a student to “pay attention” w/o really understanding the sub-processes that involves. (Stay with me — I will make the connection. 😅) 2/7

Any takers to join @andrewwatsonttb.bsky.social and me for a read and discuss? Can’t manage a book club rn but articles I can do… (And I can send if paywalled) @mikehobbiss.bsky.social

Please join us on Saturday, March 29 for researchED NYC! Tickets will go on sale soon, but now is the time to apply to speak! If you are an evidence-informed educator or researcher, apply by December 15: forms.gle/yZhKNDqNxfNu... I'm happy to answer questions about the event!

@andrewwatsonttb.bsky.social writes about important stuff in a clear, accessible and entertaining way. Here he is on why students don't like thinking hard, and what we might do about it: www.learningandthebrain.com/blog/the-ben... #edusky #CogSciSci

Here’s a terrific duet of posts from @andrewwatsonttb.bsky.social, who bravely wades into the constructivism debate and — per usual — remains thoughtful in his take. (Bias: I have the same ultimate conclusion that he does, though Andrew is surely more well read here.)

Debates about "sage on stage" vs "guide on side" pedagogy rage hotly in education. Can we clarify the muddle with *clearer definitions*? And: research focusing on those clearer definitions? I explain the definitions here: www.learningandthebrain.com/blog/constru... 1/2

Atoms are binary. They are either intended to be hydrogen or helium. We can't just scrap this worldview just because of a handful of exceptions
