Does education theory really treat learning as remembering?

How much if our work is perpetuating dysfunctional systems?

When I hear teacher educators let “learning styles” slip, I cringe.

I’m always skeptical when employers complain about workers. What if you paid better wages? Would you get the skills you want but can’t hire?

Freemium is really not free, it certainly isn’t #OER

Without context, content is meaningless.

Creative thinkers don’t stop when they get one answer.

If it isn’t “in the standards” can we still teach it?

Leadership by slogans... it is so tiresome... please stop... whatever your field or organization.

Strategic, affective, recognition. Learning depends on all three.

Early innovators are also early abandoners.

Yeah, if your contribution is just restating what has already been shared, don’t bother.

Ask “why?” until you get to the root. Design from there.

Do we include humnas when documenting the infrastructure in schools?

Schools are trying to do so much, they end up doing nothing.

Design for sustainable education.

I’m unsure how we work in education if we aren’t flexible and iterative... but that seems contrary to how we approach planning.

Geolocation is protected under FERPA? Who “woulda” thought about this a few year ago?

@HGourlayUCL Or data collected because it is there, with no questions asked.

What we design into classrooms matters.
