Instead of doubting the notion of embodied cognition, maybe Fred Paas can shift your perspective, with regard to an article he co-wrote with John Sweller no less — some 9 years old.
So the question is not whether this is so, but how best to exploit the fact.

@mrparkermaths @TheOngarAcademy Glad all is going well Ben. Looking forward to better times when I can come in and see you and our trainees. #essexschooldirect #esd

After our government’s narrow definition of what education is yesterday, West Indian fast bowler Michael Holding’s beautiful definition of what it really is brought a tear to my eye. https://t.co/uvb3AdPu5K

A big thank you to current trainees Marcella, Harry and Amy for sharing their wisdom about their ITT year and sharing their emails for support ahead of Sept. Great also to see our new trainees setting up WhatsApp groups already!! #ITT20_21
