I’m sitting at the US Festival of Education listening to a tech guy go on about the use of tech in ed and wish instead we would all just read this brilliant piece aloud.

Beautifully brilliant!

Why education can never be fun Proven with maths

A sentence for the ages from @daisychristo.bsky.social

“If online content is so addictive that it can lead to adults having less sex, it’s probably fair to speculate that it will lead to kids studying less algebra.”

Why education can never be fun Proven with maths

Three genuine laugh out loud moments in this blog from @daisychristo.bsky.social! As usual from her, it's also very thought-provoking on the implications of modern technology for how we organise our schools.

Thank you!

Why education can never be fun Proven with maths

Latest on our Substack - I attempt to prove mathematically that education can never be fun, with reference to The Flowerpot Men, Jock Stein & the Galapagos tortoise.

How long does it take to mark a set of essays with Comparative Judgement?

Human CJ halves the time compared with traditional marking.
AI CJ reduces it by a further 90%!

No More Marking Explainer This is "No More Marking Explainer" by No More Marking on Vimeo, the home for high quality videos and the people who love them.

We have a new video on our website explaining exactly how our new AI plus Comparative Judgement assessments work.

It's very different from just asking an AI to grade a paper. It's much more reliable than that, and has simple built-in human oversight too.

Check it out!

Lessons from England's school reforms Why the picky, picky detail matters

Interesting review of Nick Gibb’s book by @daisychristo.bsky.social. I also think her criticism of the phonics screening check threshold “pass” is bang on. It has never made any sense to me.

Latest on our Substack: why assessment is the price mechanism of education - and what policymakers outside of education can learn from this.

substack.nomoremarking.com/p/lessons-fr...

The reason why assessment matters is that it forces you to think about what the curriculum really means.

As Dylan Wiliam says, assessment operationalises curriculum.

Nick Gibb's new book tells the story of England's educational reforms.

I wrote the foreword, & focussed on the importance of content knowledge - not just for education, but for policy.

In this post, I focus on 2 reforms with wider lessons for policy.

I don't read many edu books these days, but this is fabulous. Required reading for anyone who wasn't around when the changes happened and maybe for those who were, but have forgotten the dark times.

Despite a rocket few years, I still feel so lucky to be a part of education here 🙏🏽

Last call for this on Tuesday....

Next at Research Ed I saw @daisychristo.bsky.social sharing her insights on whether or not AI in education is worth the hype. Some very interesting findings re assessment and a crucial reminder of the importance of keeping the human in the loop
