So… I’ve bought her… a new rucksack, and in that rucksack I’ve put: TLAC and walkthrus and @DarrellWakelam book. A visualiser, gel pens, erasable pens retractable pencils, stickers with her name on, hair bobbles, refillable board pens (my favourite design) and a ppt clicker

My daughter is just starting her teacher training in DT for September. I’m v proud 😊- two things - what should I put in her welcome to teaching package? And who should she follow for DT and also ITT?

@MrHtheteacher Tentatively dipping my toe back into Twitterdom - used to find it exteremly helpful informing my teaching & leadership but something happened to my algorithm & the unwelcome feed pushed me away. Miss the learning & the insights I used to gain here. So '👋' - worth another try 🤞

It looks like some some great Edu Folk are leaving X, but lots of great Edu Folk are staying. Pop a "hello" on the thread below so we can all follow each other and spread some X timeline positivity!

@RichardWh84 @AlexJQuigley @cura_dora Thanks Richard. An important point for planning revision of concepts for students. I assume then just alternating different unrelated topics during revision study doesn't have a significant impact on retention? Can you share the source, please?

@jascjasc @AlexJQuigley @cura_dora This study suggests you are correct. Bigger effect size with subtle differences

First attempt at summarising learning failure 6 from @AlexJQuigley "Why Learning Fails", also a shout out to @cura_dora as a lot of the ideas were initially taken from "Revision Revolution"

Interesting exhibition on the evolution of the linguistic brain at the Pavilhão do Conhecimento in Lisbon. Lots of facts to use on the Langauge of the Month board in Septemeber #EAL #Language #oracy Also, some fun Science in the exhibition next door for children.
