@PaulfrYorkshire @stuey_beef Big deal because it’s UoM. Plenty of unis have had work placements embedded for years.

Thank you @professor-dave.bsky.social for my copy of your new book. It’s full of delicious looking recipes but also a great guide to child-friendly tourist spots in Yorkshire. And, of course, a tender account of love and family life.

@professor_dave Brilliant Dave. Thank you so much.

The #ViCEPHEC25 website is live! Please share the news with colleagues! - lots of people simply don't know about this conference.

Consider submitting an abstract, too - we are trying to widen the range of formats presentations can take this year. https://t.co/WTzZfIO40w

We learn more from reading on paper than on screens.

54 studies, 171k people: we process print more deeply than digital content—as long as it's informational rather than purely narrative.

The paper advantage holds across ages and has grown over time. Long live physical books.

Science of learning TL;DR

➡️ Remembering stuff is good.
➡️ To think, you need stuff to think with.
➡️ If you have stuff in your long-term memory you can think about stuff much more deeply.
➡️ Retrieving stuff from your long-term memory helps it stay there.
➡️ Retrieval doesn’t just reveal memory; it reshapes it.
➡️ Spacing out retrieval helps you remember it even better.
➡️ Most skills are probably domain specific and don’t transfer.
➡️ Learning to read is much harder than learning to talk.
➡️ Working memory is the arena where thinking occurs but you can only hold 3-5 items of new stuff at once.
➡️ You can get around the previous point by having stuff in your long-term memory.
➡️ Just because you’re engaged, doesn’t mean you’re learning anything.
➡️ Learning stuff can feel like you’re not learning anything at all and vice versa.
➡️ Accomplishing stuff often leads to motivation not the other way round.
➡️ Discovery learning is not a good way to discover stuff.
➡️ Plan teaching to help kids remember things so they can understand more, make more connections and think deeply about stuff later on.
