@dylanwiliam @emollick Is there a Microsoft version of this? Our organisation doesn’t seem to have access to Notebook LM via Google

[Dylan Wiliam @dylanwiliam]

Just fed the text of a book—Student Assessment, co-authored with Nancy Frey and Doug Fisher—into Google's Notebook LM (HT @emollick) and it produced a ten-minute podcast as well as a list of FAQs and a study guide. As Ethan says, "Seriously, just listen": https://t.co/nZLmXPYEYn

Here’s one of the most fascinating child development videos I’ve ever shared.

As your baby learns language, they begin by approximating the examples you set.

After a period of early experimentation with sound (including cries, coos and gurgles), infants begin babbling - making speech-like sounds (which often include components of conventional speech) that are - nonetheless - not yet conventionally meaningful.

This babbling phase is a precursor to the use of formal words. And it happens in all languages.

Including sign language.

This video shows an infant (who, by the way, is not hearing impaired) “babbling” to her deaf grandparents.

As they sign to her, she responds in kind, using her hands to approximate the signed communication that they are modeling.

It’s a whole serve and return conversation, just as if they were conversing verbally.

If you’ll watch carefully, you’ll note distinct turn taking.

And - interestingly - that with her grandparents she largely avoids vocalizations, in favor of gesture.

What a treat to see this rich example of bilingual language development.

This fascinating video was shared to TT by mara_mccullough.

@teacherhead @VEverettmfl @PieCorbett If it’s done well it’s more like ‘warm-calling’. Maybe time for a name change 😆 lots of oversimplification of this on here recently.

Another fascinating and important computing research seminar from the team at @RaspberryPi_org and computing research centre. This session was about computational thinking and how it can be used across the curriculum to support thinking and problem solving. #rpfseminars #CSed

@JoBrodie It’s hard!

[Jason Pearce @pearcejason]

@PepsMccrea A little theatrics (especially for characters when reading), tricks like “woah look out the window! woah look at me! Right, now I’ve got your attention…” asking them to share jokes as regulation breaks, comedy word problems to engage, emulating their humour for relationships

[Jason Pearce @pearcejason]

@computingchamps @janewaite @cas_london_crc @BarefootComp @UniofHerts This sounds great. Can I ask what the session covered? Was it an intro?
