"Concentration lessens after 20 minutes with
maximal input of knowledge occuring
between the 5th & 15th minute of learning.
This is the time to cover the main concepts."

#relearn2020 the only people who use the word academic... are not teachers... what does academic mean... sweet FA. I can make the most menial topic academic, because I am an educator or learning coach.
#relearn2020@ProfBeckyParker @willrich45 passion projects and curiosity have one thing in common... the most powerful and influencial element... OWNERSHIP. Students own their learning, brings heaps of incidental side benefits.
#relearn2020 Here, here, current assesment methods are not fit for purpose my experience with #sfbrightworks and #gever in SanFrancisco show learning journals are rich and meaningful to a wider audience.
@e_teaching That is it.. I do that every online lesson.. I don’t care if that takes 10 minutes.. this is way more important than me delivering content or learning experience.. Pat Twyford...
#relearn2020 Wellness wednesday... love it, I suggested a similar model to my school yesterday one day of no contact with kids but full off staff sharing across frequent small meetings across the day while the students manage their own.
#relearn2020 when you are online you must mention every kids name, there is know eye contact or non verbal cues when online... talk to each and every one.
#relearn2020 project based learning anchored closely to a social consciousness rich with scenario and context will motivate students to learn.... but you need a process... design thinking process.
#relearn2020 Trust develops when teachers encourage students to share and positive reinforcement is given by the teacher, also encouragement and praise. nothing to do with the curriculum.
#relearn2020 teachers are people relationships are paramount. online relationships need establishing, so different to the physical classroom. share and laught with them.
#relearn2020 A school is the wrong narrative as we know it...learning is lifelong, spasmotic,repetitive and the best stuff is just in time. As young learners they need experienced learners...guides by their side...Teachers!
