What if #stimming were part of cognition? What would this mean for inclusive instruction? A paper on stimming and thinking I wrote with Dor Abrahamson came out in Educational Psychology Review today! https://t.co/dN0N74tXp8

thrilled to come across content about the intersection of #mathematics and #fidget poppers today

[Oxford Mathematics @OxUniMaths]

One of the most common criticisms of our social media films, other than 'I hate maths', is 'no offence bru, but what use is this?'

Sometimes the answer is 'none whatsoever', but in this case it does at least allow grown-ups to play with their toys.

The "Oxford Mathematicians and their Toys" series features a fun set of artifacts to think with. What a charming demonstration of chaotic dynamics #embodiment #math #dynamicalsystems

The professor and the pendulums.

We know what will happen when one pendulum swings. But two?

'Oxford Mathematicians and their Toys', episode three, starring @jon_ox (and the pendulums).

Our chapter on working in neurodiverse (you read that right, dont worry) teams is now live in this fab book: https://t.co/jnaX274SHT

Worked with a lovely group inc. @drstevenkapp @DrMBotha @DjzemaLouiz -we reflect on working with people whose needs differ from our own.

Any #fidgeting researchers willing to chat with a couple UT Austin undergrads looking to make workspaces more fidget-inclusive? DM me and I'll pass along your contact info.

💡 We extensively use our bodies for learning, either to store information, represent concepts, interact with concepts, communicate, or even self-regulate and manage emotions. This is particularly important when learning abstract concepts, for example in #mathematics.

***Permanent post in my Dept!*** I’d love to have a new colleague working on body, multi sensory, development, motor, or VR. Please share.

Excited to share that @_moravick and I will be chairing a hybrid-format symposium on intersectional dimensions of embodied learning at #ISLS2024 this June. Hope to see you there! #intersectionality #embodiment #learningsciences

[Sofia Tancredi @sofiasensory]

It was such a joy participating in @dcowiedurham's invited symposium on “How diverse sensorimotor experiences shape behavior and the brain” at the Jean Piaget Society meeting this past weekend in Toronto! #JPS2024
