A Design and Technology teacher looking to improve, be inspired and hopefully be inspiring.

@RethinkingJames Isn't this then similar to what happens in the US? And in Australia there's tiered subjects and learning. Maybe time to look outside of the UK for some inspiration or at least what doesn't work so well. Or maybe just changing so there's no bell curve.

Chuffed with how well my @researchED1 session yesterday was received and thank you to everyone that came to see me. Slides below.

Learn how you can build a #microbit controlled Zumo buggy - a great starting point for a buggy project. See how it can be used in conjunction with our Motor Driver board for the BBC micro:bit to create this fun buggy with gripper action!

@Mr_Hill_DT Start by asking them questions, have they done a lot of D&T in the past? What are they confident about? Etc.

Another thread of my most favourite/referred to research papers - this time on cognitive load theory 🧵🧵🧵
1.The super clear & concise guide to CLT including a summary of the theory and main effects/impacts for classroom instruction.

[Jade Pearce @PearceMrs]

I have been revisiting the research on retrieval practice recently. So many great papers! A thread of some of my favourites (yes, I have favourites, lots!)
1. Yang, et als systematic review into quizzing. It presented the ways retrieval can be used most effectively including 1/n

@LiamTAnderson I think if it's procedural, then first reflect on what is currently happening, what are the current defaults staff return to (when the initial phase wears off) and what's going to prevent staff from continuing with the new procedures. Then bang the drum, accordingly.

[DT S107 @MikeRatcliffe16]

@theDTguy Such a lovely feeling in secondary to get anything like this! Definitely should be your new pic!

I've turned the brilliant T&L session on Mini Whiteboards led by @MissBKearns & @CiaraMcleigh into of our one pagers for staff to refer to.

*Lots* of great stuff from @joeybagstock @teacherhead @adamboxer1 & @Doug_Lemov included

A 🧵 exploring gender differences in education. Nationally, girls do better, are more likely to go to Uni, but are less likely to do STEM subjects. What causes these differences?

First 4 studies on parenting, second 6 on schooling. Strap in, some of these findings are wild…

[Nick Hart @MrNickHart]

Some thoughts on quality assurance and a request for help…

[Faisal Islam @faisalislam]

Helpful data from @Ofcom on kids use of mobiles/ social media… these numbers are incredible…

More than 1 in 6 3-4 yo have a mobile, 28% of 5-7yo, 60% of 8-11 yo.

Have a social media profile:
3-4 yo - 24%
5-7 yo - 33%
8-11 yo - 60%

@mabycraft @ChopSciDesign I did take away container redesigns, making sure that they used recycled materials. Even demonstrated using water to make cardboard pliable to reshape over a mould.
