Gemini’s Guided Learning Mode From Google AI: What Educators Need To Know | Tech & Learning techlearning.com/how-to/geminis…

‘Extrinsic rewards can help set in motion the positive feedback loop of internally rewarding learning processes, particularly for learners who are initially unmotivated. Once learners engage in learning (initially, in order to receive extrinsic rewards), many opportunities to experience internal rewards from learning arise. Hence, motivation that is based on extrinsic rewards can transform into motivation that is based on intrinsic rewards, a process we call motivation transformation.’

This is a neat illustration of why classrooms and teachers will remain the absolute norm for schooling at scale. Children are not consistently motivated as a cohort to learn independently. It’s madness to believe otherwise. Education is 90% persuasion, 10% compulsion. Learning is *hard*. Thinking is hard. Intrinsic motivation is an unreliable and scarce fuel. Students need teachers. AI will never be able to incentivise the unwilling. So, no more nonsense about whether it can replace teachers. Human behaviour trumps every heroically optimistic tech fantasy.

In this interview I speak to Professor @marcbrackett, one of the world’s foremost experts in the science and psychology of emotion. Marc is the founding director of the Yale Centre for Emotional Intelligence (@YaleEmotion), and author of the international best-selling book, #PermissionToFeel. In this powerful discussion, Marc helps us to understand how we should see our emotions as information, and the tools to recognise, understand, label, express and regulate our emotions. thoughteconomics.com/marc-brackett/

What a great visit to @TMALowerSchool today - one of our showcase @rulerapproach schools in Harlem. Imagine the impact of having #PermissionToFeel all of those feelings & learning how to recognize, understand, label, express, & regulate them by middle school. @caselorg Thoughts?

i think we do not always need to make evidence-based decisions, especially in non-critical areas such as curriculum design, teaching methods and enrichment programmes. many important discoveries have happened by chance, not by design or choice.

Mohammed Qahtani won the Toastmasters World Championship of Public Speaking. It’s easy to see why. Please watch his speech. Words have power. Words can be our power. Words can unite or divide. Words can spit venom or can mend a broken soul. Words matter.

@Nrg8000 @planet to get more donations from developed countries.

@planet A local member of parliament claimed that 1,182 houses were buried or destroyed in the landslide. That is clearly and categorically false, but I am struggling to explain why officials would inflate the damage and death caused.

Initial satellite imagery and footprint of the Enga, Papua New Guinea landslide via @planet. I am struggling to reconcile this damage scar with the claimed number of casualties, which is hopefully a good sign, but eagerly awaiting more reports from the ground.

@FitFounder im doing this in my late 40s. am i old?

Dear old people: Waking up at 6am, tending to a garden, eating dinner at 5pm, reading books, and going to bed at 9:30pm feels amazing. I was wrong. You were right.
