@s_squin @alfcorriette Her no-look assists, especially to Fowler, should be a trackable stat!

What can we say about the effectiveness of the flipped classroom? We combined all 15 published meta-analyses (n>150k students) and found an effect size of 0.37 in favour of flipping in our new #openaccess @AJET_eds paper https://t.co/KdqugrLQph

I just released the last module for my course🤯😢. Instead of assigning additional readings (we're all tired), I asked everyone to re-read & reflect on a previously assigned text that didn't get the attention it deserved. Those reflections will structure the final discussion.

@EducateSmarter @COMDT_RMC_A @AustralianArmy @LearningMavens @DG_TRADOC @comdforcomd They are all remarkable humans who have impressed me with their dedication, curiousity and enthusiasm while on course. It’s been a pleasure to get to know them over the past few weeks.

Had a few people asking if I would RT this again...

[Cathy Stevens @cathy__stevens]

@chieadachi @colemanjmae @FutureLearn @Deakin @Dr_JoElliott Absolutely! Let me know what you have in mind and I’m happy to help.

I wrote a thing! My experiences of studying @FutureLearn and @Deakin in their Digital Learning Leadership program. https://t.co/bFdgAObYMR

@shyambarr Congratulations!!

[Cathy Stevens @cathy__stevens]

@SiobhanMcSween1 I agree. Sometimes you just need your hand forced. I’d identified these lessons as suitable for a flipped approach when I marched in... but getting caught up in the day to day stuff meant it hadn’t happened... until I had no other viable option to deliver this lesson 😂

Happy Birthday #RAAEC! 79 years young and looking very innovative in the current climate.

Overwhelmingly positive feedback from my cadets. Loved the ability to rewatch videos, learn from peers in the forum and solve their own problems. Even once the world settles down, I’m not going back to lecture style presentations!

[Cathy Stevens @cathy__stevens]

Only fitting that I have my own teacher warm and fuzzy feeling on the Corps bday. Like all educators, Covid disrupted my planned lessons. Hustled hard to flip my classroom...produced some online content and still ran a socially- distant compliant collaborative writing session.

@SiobhanMcSween1 @EducateSmarter The knowledge in your brain excites me too! Looking forward to reading your stuff this year 👌🏻

“Motivated reasoning” - what social scientists call the process of deciding what evidence to accept based on the conclusion one prefers. An interesting read for those looking to understand #criticalthinking (or the lack of it). https://t.co/Y6g2rteGPX

@ArmyEdu @ArmyCGS This looks fascinating! Will it be recorded?

[Cathy Stevens @cathy__stevens]

My go to prompt is “how could I be wrong about this?” And as someone who is redeveloping lessons and preparing to make some curriculum changes, I’m making sure to ask myself “how could I make this worse?” As well as “how can I make this better?”

Deliberately Inverting your thinking is powerful. It allows you to gain wider perspectives and new insights by considering the opposite of questions you would normally ask.

[Lincoln S Smith - Moved to Bluesky @Lincolnssmith]

From @JamesClear on #predicting #mistakes and #failure to guide you:

"This way of #thinking, in which you consider the opposite of what you want, is known as #inversion. ... a rare and crucial skill that nearly all great thinkers use to their advantage."
