A new summary! This time it's the incredibly useful The Goldilocks Map by @andrewwatsonttb.bsky.social .

A summary + one with a blank column for you to fill in!

Again - please buy + read the book - it is an excellent roadmap for how to read the research.

Hello friends!

You're keen to spend a week this summer studying memory, attention, and learning? I've got just the workshop for you...

We'll be in Boston this July for our 7th summer; I hope you'll join us.

Reach out if you have any questions.

Cheers

A really useful & clearly argued case for more hard thinking in classrooms - along with convincing students such mental struggle is actually a good thing, by @andrewwatsonttb.bsky.social

It's becoming one of my top 'things I'd wish I'd known'

Working memory ≠ short term memory
Working memory = storage AND processing

Inattention/distraction can be WM overload. Great book -complements @andrewwatsonttb.bsky.social''s excellent Learning Begins.

Lots of useful ideas for the classroom.

Fantastic session with @andrewwatsonttb.bsky.social yesterday about presenting at a conference. SO useful in the run up to researchED @tombennett71.bsky.social ... thank you!

Every talk needs a blueprint, and LOADS of ideas about that. Brilliant.

You want to improve your conference presentation skills?

You've got time (but not much) to sign up for tomorrow's webinar.

We'll talk about strategies & perspectives that provide both structure & freedom, so you can be wisely you.

Please join us!

Okay, I figured this out. If you sign up on eventbrite, I'll send you a link to a recording. You can watch it up to day days after it initially airs.

Sound good?

Cheers
Let me explore this option...
Thank you so much! I'm really looking forward to the conversation...
Thank you Helen -- your summaries are SO THOUGHTFUL and specific!
Too often, I fear, adults blame students for the distractions we create. Cell phones, I'm looking at you.

At the Learning and the Brain conference in San Fran (2/20-22), I'll argue we should rethink that blame.
