Make 45-minute meetings the norm in schools. Time is pedagogical capital. Shorter meetings sharpen focus, reduce overload, and give teachers more time for planning and student support. Use digital tools for pre-reading—keep meeting time for dialogue and decisions. #SchoolLeadership #EduSky

AI isn't coming for your job. But it might save your Tuesday evening. #EduSky #TeacherSky

Meta's core issue stems from its algorithmic feed, which personalizes content based on user behavior. This system often prioritizes inflammatory posts like rage baits and hot takes, rather than fostering meaningful conversations and sharing.

Honestly, I hadn't considered agents using the phone.

This is a well-written piece on how education should better cater to how knowledge actually exists in the brain.

Pairing Images and Text for Critical Analysis Teachers can give students opportunities for close reading through exploration of books paired with visual media.

Want to build students’ capacity for critical analysis and discussions? Try pairing images with texts—like playing the new Supergirl trailer when discussing The Scarlet Letter!

Here are some ideas and best practices. 🖼️📗

I'm testing out the #OpenVibe app for my social media accounts that I really care about. Is it possible to replace multiple apps with just one? Would you consider using it?

For deep understanding: grab a pen. For speed and future editing: use the keys. As leaders, we must guide students to choose the right tool for the task. It’s about inclusive, effective learning, not just the device. How do your students choose? 🇸🇪 #InclusiveEd #Digitalisation

Context is key. Handwriting shines for new concepts or languages. However, if you have time for active review later or need to capture high volumes of text quickly, digital tools are excellent. Digitalisation should always be a choice based on pedagogical intent. 🛠️ #Teaching #Leadership

Why does it work? Handwriting is slower, forcing the brain to select, rephrase, and process information. Keyboards often lead to "mindless transcription." Physical writing activates brain networks linked to memory and deep conceptual understanding. 🧠✨ #Pedagogy #CognitiveScience

What does science say? Meta-analyses show a small but significant advantage for handwriting (effect size g = approx. 0.14). In tests, this might mean a jump from 50% to 57% accuracy. It’s a helpful edge, but not a "night and day" gap for every learner. 📊 #Research #EdTech #Learning

Handwriting vs Keyboard Choosing the Right Tool

Hand vs keyboard: it’s not a binary choice! Research shows that while handwriting offers a small learning edge, the "best" tool depends on your goal, study technique, and time. Let’s dive into the nuances of digital vs physical note-taking. 📝💻 #EduSky

As an EdTech specialist, I see digital tools as a catalyst. Randomizers ensure fairness, and response systems allow simultaneous participation while saving data for future formative work. Let’s stop counting hands and start valuing participation for all! 🚀 #EdTech #ColdCalling #EduSky

Why it works:
✅ Cognitive activation: Everyone prepares an answer.
✅ Inclusion: Quiet students get a voice.
✅ Formative data: You see where the whole class is, not just the top 5%.
✅ Process over performance: Focus on developing thoughts together. #FormativeAssessment #Learning #EvidenceBased

Relying on volunteers often means a few students dominate the dialogue while others "check out." I prefer "Cold Calling" — a structured, scientific approach where everyone is expected to participate in a safe and supportive environment. It’s about inclusion, not "catching" someone. #ActiveLearning

Media is currently debating why students don't raise their hands as much anymore ✋. But is "hands in the air" really the best metric for learning? I’m not convinced that more hand-raising is the way forward for a modern, inclusive classroom. 🧵 #EduSky #Education #Pedagogy

Haven't heard about it before. Going to check out both the novels and the TTRPG, for sure!

In what multiverse is this an official letter from the head of the world’s leading economic and military power?

MAGA = Make America Go Away

It's true for population. Not economic or military power.

Togheter!

We're trying to embrace it, cautiously.

Expertise gets you in the room, but relationships make the teacher. It’s the human connection that sets the foundation for everything else.

I’m looking for a good private budgeting app — what’s your favorite right now? Android/Web recommendations welcome!

Watching US politics lately, it’s clear roles have reversed: Republicans act like classic liberals, and liberals like traditional republicans. Maybe that explains why federal overreach now seems to provoke a stronger reaction from liberals than from the GOP? #USPolitics #Realignment

That's a beautiful strategy!

At first glance I thought this was some kind of cozy Stranger Things spin-off. 😁

To me the salvation has been to ditch Google Chrome and replace it with #Vivaldi and use its built in VPN by #Proton. Search with #Ecosia or similar.

Ad blocking, cookie hunting and blocking tracker on my desktop and mobile has been a life saver online.

And, first and foremost, the EU.

Denmark’s PM Mette Frederiksen is blunt:
If the U.S. attacks a NATO ally, the post-WWII order dies and America becomes the threat NATO was built to stop.👀

Well said!
