Researchers & EdTech orgs then discussed shared research interests. It seems we've started towards greater collaboration and learning in the space. Love it!

I then used a questionnaire that I saw from @LDbaseRepo Oct data challenge from a preprint by @jarlogan and colleagues about data sharing perceptions from another study that collected the data. [Phew] These questions sparked thoughtful discussions.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of speaking on the benefits & perceived challenges of data sharing to a group of Maths EdTech organisations & researchers. This was made possible by the sharing of resources from others! Thanks @saraannhart for the slides (sharing is caring) ...

@Mpumi_NLM Amazing work, Mpumi!

Excited to see our paper published. Early intervention matters and it persists! We intervened in Setswana in Gr 1-3 & the benefits were seen Gr 7!

To all conference attendees everywhere, please never decline a mic. The loudness of a voice is not the only thing that makes it intelligible and so some of us cannot hear you regardless of how well you project. This is my 11th year of tweeting this plea. #POD24

@schotz Thanks so much!

@MaxineNSchaefer Good work Maxine! Thanks for sharing this.

🚨🚨🚨 We got a pub in Reading and Writing! We explored cross-language transfer of phonological processing skills on spelling in Northern Sotho and English. Phonological awareness and RAN were within & cross language predictors for both languages. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

The amazing Patricia Makaure also describes the types of spelling errors that were made in both languages. This paper adds to our understanding of the language universal predictors of reading and spelling development. It was awesome to work with the team again!

An antidote for: If you've got too many people coming to your door, saying, "A quick stats question; it'll only take a minute" ...

@LAOuthwaite @rebeccammerkley @LAOuthwaite awesome paper! We also have a self administered online mathematics assessment @ClickFoundat1on in south africa similar to the sa egma you describe in your paper. Very happy to chat about it as we're happy to share data/collaborate!

I presented some of our results of using personalized edtech in low resourced schools. The highlight is a grade panel analysis comparing gr 2s from different years. Gr2s in 2024 active in gr 1 were on the same level as gr2s in 2023 who had limited access. Almost 6 months better!

I addressed the key components needed for successful edtech implementation. 1. Hardware 2. Connectivity 3. Content 4. Capacity

I had the pleasure of presenting at the 5th e-learning summit hosted by the Eastern Cape Provincial Department. For me, this was an incredible opportunity to present directly to the decision makers in government. #edtech @ClickFoundat1on

@jarlogan Woah this is a cool postdoc!
