Me every time I hear that learning is a social endeavor…
A strange thing is going on right now: Both cognitive science traditionalists and constructivist progressives now seem to be both arguing for learning as primarily a social enterprise.
For example, I don't know who Dan Meyer is but I gather he has largely progressive views and d with @mrbartonmaths is symptomatic of this thing I mean where the emergence of AI in education is creating a weird kind of alliance where both camps now seem to be saying: learning has to happen between humans in real time. I disagree and this is why I think the Alpha model is potentially so powerful. 🧵eedi.substack.com/p/ai-in-educat…

Ironic to be reading this while sitting in front of a long trampled "6ft apart" sign.
Honestly, this is the kindest possible interpretation of what transpired with our institutions (and bureaucrats) during the pandemic...

The first step to overcoming our biases is to know that they're there. Learning these is like gaining a superpower.

My only critique: The author calls out "four stages" but only presents 3 "(1) acquisition, (2) fluency-building, (3) and generalization."
So now I'm combing through the literature for this elusive stage 4.

If there's anyone who's unsure whether or not parents have good info about how their child is doing academically, these stats on the @BeALearningHero website might change your mind.

Just picked this up and did the first 3 tests with my 4yo to see how he'd do.
At the end he said, "I LOOOVED that game!"

Alex Zhu (founder of Musical.ly, the precursor to TikTok) started by building Cicada, a "billion dollar idea" in the EdTech space. It flopped. In 2016, he gave an insightful interview where he outlined some reasons why.

Non-homeschooler: "You're one person! How could you possibly know everything you need to teach your child!?"
Me: "I don't."
I'm a curator as much as a teacher.
From an upcoming conversation with @cstaff37 about how microschools and homeschoolers can utilize online resources.

@JoeWEquil and I wanted an in-depth view inside microschools around the country, so we figured we'd record our conversations and call it a podcast!
Hoping to chat with microschool founders, parents, and those supporting their work.
Ep. 1 drops next week, but here's a taste!

Reading about Learning Poverty, and according to UNESCO, all homeschoolers are "assumed not able to read proficiently" because they are not in school, and therefore considered "learning impoverished."
Might be a bad, universal assumption.

In fact, we like it so much that now you can search "Kaipod" on the MySchool Map (myschoolathome.io/myschoolmap) and see if there's one near you!

Needed to get out of the office and think in a wide open space, but where was I to stop?
Lo and behold the universe delivered a lone desk in the middle of the woods, basking in solitude, accompanied only by the sounds of birds and a gentle breeze coursing through the trees.

Interesting comparison, as this is literally how waves operate below the surface! @rosiesherry -> maker of waves.

We are slowly creating a local codex. This little assassin bug was a novel find. Can't find a pic of the 4" dark fishing spider right now but that thing was... Intimidating.

Request for a new app... Measure someone's current level of intelligence of each of @DrHowardGardner's multiple intelligences and create a game-like avatar for a person. Then suggest ways they can improve in each field. I'll get you started...

Now, where did I leave my notes about @StanDehaene's 4 Pillars of learning? ... Oh, right. Next to my pliers in the woodshop. Of course. (...for the curious minds, they are 1. Attention, 2. Active engagement (aka curiosity), 3. Error feedback, and 4. Consolidation.
