New teachers are like young swimmers. Throw them in the pool at the deep end and there's a good chance they'll drown. Give them the support and guidance they need, and they’ll possibly become top swimmers. New blog with @P_A_Kirschner

@DonaldClark @P_A_Kirschner In my initial comment I was referring to primary education.

[MirjamN @MirjamN]

@ChristyATucker Yes, I'll look into it. I still think it's bad that they don't communicate this change transparently so that you can make a decision before it kicks in.

[MirjamN @MirjamN]

Wow, @WordPress, since when are the ads so prominent in a free WordPress version? That is pretty horrible. What a 'subtle' way to push customers towards your paid model. Ugh.

[MirjamN @MirjamN]

@DonaldClark @P_A_Kirschner For secondary, yes.

[MirjamN @MirjamN]

@criticallearner @britz @WordPress Thanks for letting me know ,,,,,😛

[MirjamN @MirjamN]

@DonaldClark @P_A_Kirschner This really depends on the country, @DonaldClark. For example, in the Netherlands one of the biggest challenges is that teachers are not taught didactics properly. They do a lot of practical stuff yet a lot of it is fluffy and not focused on evidence-informed teaching.

[MirjamN @MirjamN]

@britz @WordPress Money as an excuse for treating your customers in a lousy way. @WordPress didn't communicate any of this is a transparent manner. It just happened.

[MirjamN @MirjamN]

@britz @sladetim I would say that's a difference between a good and not so good learning/instructional designer.

[MirjamN @MirjamN]

@DonaldClark It sounds a bit biased to me 🤣

[MirjamN @MirjamN]

@criticallearner It does NOT have a lid 😂

[MirjamN @MirjamN]

@criticallearner Or why the dirty clothes are on the floor right next to the laundry basket.

[MirjamN @MirjamN]

@DonaldClark Pretty impressive indeed.

[MirjamN @MirjamN]

Nice.

"True art generates meaning from *unexpected* connections — the exact opposite of how generative transformers and reinforcement learning works."
I think the same can be said for learning. It's not about content, but thinking, ideas, and making meaning!

@DonaldClark Why would this be surprising given how GPT-4 is trained?

[MirjamN @MirjamN]

A reblog this time! We would like to share an article by @kkapp. Recently, he posted an evidence-informed article on too much interactivity in eLearning. Yes, that's a thing!

So: does listening to #music improve #studying?

@DTWillingham -- who knows a thing or two about research into learning -- has a quick video to answer this question.

As always with Dr. Willingham, it's pithy, easy to understand, clear, and helpful.

@talktoBOI @bankofireland I have the numbers, thank you. I have been sent back and forth between customer service and fraud 5 times now. Then a lovely lady was trying to help and after 20 mins of talking to her, I got disconnected and now I have to start all over again. DREADFUL menus and service.

[MirjamN @MirjamN]

@bankofireland this is NOT acceptable. I need to report fraud and have already been waiting for 20 mins! I keep being sent from one support line to the next and then to some kind of Vodafone voice mail box. Isn't it kind of URGENT if you need to report fraud?

[MirjamN @MirjamN]

@JaneBozarth You must be more famous than I am, @JaneBozarth, cause ChatGPT knows nothing about me 😂.
