Me every time I hear that learning is a social endeavor…
A strange thing is going on right now: Both cognitive science traditionalists and constructivist progressives now seem to be both arguing for learning as primarily a social enterprise.
For example, I don't know who Dan Meyer is but I gather he has largely progressive views and this conversation he had with @mrbartonmaths is symptomatic of this thing I mean where the emergence of AI in education is creating a weird kind of alliance where both camps now seem to be saying: learning has to happen between humans in real time. I disagree and this is why I think the Alpha model is potentially so powerful. 🧵eedi.substack.com/p/ai-in-ed…
Ironic to be reading this while sitting in front of a long trampled "6ft apart" sign.
Honestly, this is the kindest possible interpretation of what transpired with our institutions (and bureaucrats) during the pandemic...

The first step to overcoming our biases is to know that they're there. Learning these is like gaining a superpower.

My only critique: The author calls out "four stages" but only presents 3 "(1) acquisition, (2) fluency-building, (3) and generalization."
So now I'm combing through the literature for this elusive stage 4.
If there's anyone who's unsure whether or not parents have good info about how their child is doing academically, these stats on the @BeALearningHero website might change your mind.
Just picked this up and did the first 3 tests with my 4yo to see how he'd do.
At the end he said, "I LOOOVED that game!"
