@greg_ashman ...because it is how experts figure new things out, and we suffer from the curse of knowledge, whereby we think novices will learn the same way we do.

@tetheredtoed1 @P_A_Kirschner It is from Paul Kirschner's blog. Check it out.

@videogurudotcom @MonashUni G'day Video Guru. Nice to see the research is affecting video offerings. All the best.

@JoelBSperanza @Sciencesteveg @steven_kolber @anfield1974 @howie_hua @misterwootube I love that you are able to teach with your whole body in this set up. That said, will you run out of real estate reasonably quickly in a way you don't in OneNote? I'm so interested to hear what the lived reality is like. Fantastic audio btw.

@JoelBSperanza @Sciencesteveg @steven_kolber @anfield1974 @howie_hua @misterwootube Hi Joel, sorry I missed this earlier. What's the job? Hate to say, but the lightboard overlayed with the text was a bit hard to read. I think it might be the text on not-quite-black contrast. When you presented your PC screen it was far clearer.

[Matt Fyfield @MattFyfield]

@JoelBSperanza @Sciencesteveg @steven_kolber @anfield1974 @howie_hua @misterwootube I like the cutting from big screen to your face, but be careful. It is like temporarily wiping the board clean in class. Only do so if you actually don't want your students looking at the work you've done on the board. Could be frustrating otherwise.

[Matt Fyfield @MattFyfield]

@JoelBSperanza The obvious 'solution' is to get students to write in real time in front of you exam style, but this is not how we write well. My thesis wasn't written under exam conditions, it was an iterative process taking years... maybe should have used AI.

A complete review of educational video design principles, see what works. It finishes with a fairly robust critique of the whole field. We can do better videos and better research. See how. Cheers to coauthor legends @mjhenderson & @thinkingmike https://t.co/sGS9a2z1fR @AJET_eds

Interested in instructional video? Our review revealed support for principles of: length, coherence, segmentation, embodiment, learner control, and integrated activities. Read the paper here https://t.co/QvO2Gij5eg @AJET_eds with my awesome co-authors @MattFyfield @thinkingmike

@FNawarathna @mjhenderson @thinkingmike @carloper Thankyou. Three fine educators to be mentioned with. And a big congratulations for your graduation! Onto great things no doubt.

[Matt Fyfield @MattFyfield]

@EnserMark Yep - I started off thinking cognitivist theories were all that were needed to design great ed videos. I ended up finding that cognitivist theories rarely take into account the classroom context - which is central in teacher practice. Both are important to consider.

[Matt Fyfield @MattFyfield]

Hi All. After something of a wait, I'm stoked to have another bit of my work published. If you'd like a peek behind the curtain of how teachers in mainstream classrooms are using YouTube, take a peek. https://t.co/QMGi8VY0to

@JoelBSperanza @thinkingmike @mjhenderson Joel - FYI - 5648 is an amazing Masters of Ed unit that Mike and Michael teach at Monash. It deals with technology enhanced learning.

[Matt Fyfield @MattFyfield]

@JoelBSperanza @thinkingmike @mjhenderson Joel is a master teacher. Here is his intro to blended learning for his Maths students. I saw this and thought of 5648. This is elite 'teach them how to watch' stuff.

[Matt Fyfield @MattFyfield]

@JoelBSperanza Agreed - football doesn't have an awful lot of real life application but I (and many of my students) have no problem getting excited over that. It's perfectly fine to just think things are cool. If you get a use out of them later, dandy.

[Matt Fyfield @MattFyfield]

@thinkingmike How fascinating. It's a third party cleaning domain. Trying to work out the business case for them - not much revealed in their user safety section. Wonder what the jam is? https://t.co/Y1UcSgFsbE

[Matt Fyfield @MattFyfield]

@mjhenderson @thinkingmike @MonashEducation @MonashUni Thanks Gents. This may have been the end of my apprenticeship, but you two are still the masters. Ever patient, ever wise. Finer supervisors a student couldn't find.

[Matt Fyfield @MattFyfield]

One of the more enlightening pieces I've read. Shame I'll probably forget it. https://t.co/1t84UclDuv

[Matt Fyfield @MattFyfield]

@FNawarathna Hmmm... now you have me interested. @thinkingmike @mjhenderson might be able to remember.
