2/2 Growth mindset / grit: "can have the unintended consequence of making students feel responsible for things that are not under their control: that their lack of success is a failure of moral character" #grit #edtechchat #educationresearch #growthmindset

1/2 "In a very real sense, teachers have been given answers to questions they didn’t ask, and solutions to problems that never existed." https://t.co/BJF8ritk8K … #edtechchat #educationresearch

Thinking often about how to support and motivate students learning foreign languages... came across this short, interesting piece: https://t.co/tCu5QeXShA

[Oxford Academic @OUPAcademic]

What happens when couples that speak different languages fall in love with each other and start a life together? Dr Kaisa S. Pietikäinen examines how "lingua franca" couples communicate, drawing upon different languages to achieve understanding. https://t.co/SjzzFZSMq0

Now on the volunteer team of #osskvinner, a community-driven group working to support Oslo women with career development at all phases! #empowerwomen #Oslo 💪 Here's some of the #squad at the volunteer planning meeting last night:

[Taylor Sawyer @Taylor_SammTalk]

Someone explain to me how the largest gender diversity in Europe conf, dedicated to "making the workplace more fair" costs €210 regularly and €60 for students/entrepreneurs?? @SheConferenceNo 👀 🤑 #empowerwomen?? Also no FAQ for nursing mums, accessibility, etc.

[Taylor Sawyer @Taylor_SammTalk]

Recently read a business magazine article "steps to empower women in your business" and the steps included consulting outsiders ("preferably experts") and then having a lot of meetings to talk about women's empowerment....... 🤔🤨 #womeninbusiness #empowerwomen

[Taylor Sawyer @Taylor_SammTalk]

Today's debate - are EdTech companies just out to make money? How does one mix a mission to innovate in education with investment money, taking public money and putting it into the pockets of private investors? Do students/teachers gain enough to justify this? 🧐 #edtech #startup

[Taylor Sawyer @Taylor_SammTalk]

Now listening to the podcast Money Mission and Me: Stories by Social Entrepreneurs. It's helping me think about @sammtalk's journey and what's next for the business side of things! 🧠🎧
