Cognitive Load Theory (Sweller & Chandler) Der Cognitive Load Theory zufolge unterliegt das Gehirn beim Lernen einer gewissen kognitiven Belastung. Die Theorie beschreibt, wodurch das Lernen erleichtert bzw. erschwert werden kann. (1/x)

Teenagers have started calling AI art "boomer art" and consider it cringe, and YouTubers have stopped using AI-generated thumbnails because teenagers find them cringe and won't click on them. I honestly couldn't be happier.

🇪🇺🇺🇸In Germany the Land of Schleswig-Holstein is fighting for digital sovereignty by replacing US software with open-source alternatives. They're replacing Microsoft Office with LibreOffice, Outlook with Thunderbird & testing Linux vs Windows. But we've more examples in Europe: 🇫🇷 France (Lyon): Transitioning from MS Office to PostgreSQL, Linux, and OnlyOffice to protect municipal data. ⚖️ Intl Criminal Court: Ditching Microsoft Office in favor of Open Desk, the European open-source suite. ✈️ Airbus: Moving critical/sensitive assets from foreign clouds to a dedicated European sovereign cloud. 🇩🇪 Germany (Military): Rolling out Open Desk across the Bundeswehr to ensure secure, independent communications. 🏥 France (Health Data Hub): Formally exiting Microsoft Azure for a European cloud provider to secure patient data. 🇳🇱 Netherlands: Parliament has officially urged the government to build its own National Cloud. 💶 Eurozone: Pushing the "Wero" and Digital Euro to reduce dependency on Visa/Mastercard. There are other similar initiatives. I track them but I can't get them all. DM me if you need access to the sources.

“…vocabulary-rich children arrive at school with a hidden cognitive advantage ... They have heard “ridiculous” and “extraordinary” and “investigation” at the dinner table, in bedtime stories, in the overheard conversations of articulate adults. Their minds have been silently sketching the spellings of hundreds of words they have never read.. “Children from language-poor environments arrive without those skeletons… “It is a gap in prediction. And it compounds: the child who reads more easily reads more, hears more words in the context of text, forms more skeletons, and reads still more easily. The child who struggles reads less, encounters fewer new words, forms fewer skeletons, and falls further behind.”
We tend to think of reading as a visual act. But a growing body of research suggests that by the time a child encounters a word in print for the first time, their mind has already been preparing for that encounter. ⤵️

Fun Fact: Wenn ich vor erfolgreichen Industrieunternehmen referiere, muss ich gar nicht so viel über die erfolgte Transformation zur Wissensökonomie sagen. Wissen die. Wenn ich in Wissenseinrichtungen, bei Politikern, bei Medienleuten bin, rede ich mir den Mund fusselig. Heisst:

AOC: We don’t have to talk about this as if it’s a hypothetical issue. Just a couple of months ago, Discord tried to roll out “age verification.” They contracted with a third party to conduct facial scanning — not just of kids, but also of adults. They decided to launch a teen default setting where they would lock users into a teen-appropriate experience. Which, mind you, if you are an adult who does not opt in, you then get cordoned off into the teen experience. Explain to me how that has anything to do with children’s safety. The only way to get out of that censored version is by scanning your face. What’s more shocking is that Discord made the decision to move forward with this after they had been hacked and 70,000 users had their data stolen.

Haha, Timberlake with the perfect shutdown! But for real, that pyramid's percentages? Total myth—no data, just vibes that stuck around way too long. Real retention? Retrieval, practice, feedback. Let's keep roasting the bad ones. What's your top classroom win from the science?

Schools exist to support families, not replace parents. That means parents need to actually parent, and the govt & communities need to stop treating schools as the fix for bad parenting. If you’re an educator who thinks otherwise, you’ve watched too many teacher hero movies.

Sticky note offloading during an assessment over the One-Child Policy…📝🧠
I’ve been requiring students to cognitively offload during assessments by brain-dumping everything they know onto paper before writing. It frees up working memory, boosts clarity of ideas, and their responses are noticeably stronger and more composed. Simple move, big payoff.

I’ve moved away from traditional homework too, but not because of workload. The real issue is academic integrity. Once tasks leave the room, the temptation to copy, share answers or use AI becomes almost impossible to manage. Instead, I use Extension Tasks. In the final 15 to 20 minutes of the week, pupils complete an online quiz in class. It is quick to mark, everyone completes it and I get a clear and honest picture of what they actually know. There is no chasing homework and no uncertainty about who can do what. It simply gives me reliable data that helps me plan the next steps.
I believe strongly in rigor in the classroom. But that doesn’t mean I give a lot of homework. In fact, I give almost no homework at all. The reason? Cheating. If you send your class out with homework, nearly all of them will plagiarize, copy, or, most likely, use ChatGPT to complete it.

T-Systems und Thales bauen momentan das europäische Altersverifikationssystem. Da sollt ihr dann mit einer App durch das Scannen eines QR-Codes auf Webseiten einen pseudonymen Nachweis erbringen, dass ihr Volljährig seid und somit z.B. Zugriff auf bestimmte Inhalte bekommt. Euer Alter könnt Ihr dabei auf unterschiedliche Arten wie Personalausweis oder Reisepass nachweisen und bekommt eine gewisse Menge an einmalig nutzbaren Nachweisen ausgestellt, um euer Alter zu verifizieren. Der Witz dabei: Die Nachweise für euer Alter stellt euch einfach euer Smartphone selbst aus. Ich kann also unbegrenzt viele davon ausstellen und einfach eine eigene App bauen und damit auf einfachste Art und Weise all diese Maßnahmen völlig nutzlos machen. Aber warum mache ich das? In dem Moment wo staatliche Identifikationsinfrastruktur auf Basis von Snakeoil-Crypto im Internet in der Breite ausgerollt wird, ist es nur noch ein Softwareupdate um das alles nicht mehr pseudonym umzusetzen - sondern personalisiert. Weil die ganze Infrastruktur ist ja dann schon da. Und es ist nicht so, dass die EU in der Vergangenheit nicht bereits versucht hätte, Plattformen in diese Richtung zu drängen. Während die Nachweise des Alters auf die wildesten Arten entstehen können, ist die Kerninfrastruktur - der Austausch und die Verifikation der Altersnachweise - zentralisiert. Somit ist es sehr sehr einfach diese Infrastruktur nach belieben zu verändern. Außerdem fallen dabei natürlich auch noch eine Menge Metadaten an und für Staaten ist es ein Leichtes herauszufinden, wo ihr denn so euer Alter nachgewiesen habt. Staatliche Altersverifikation ist also der Anfang vom Ende der Pseudonymität im Netz. Und ja, Faschisten finden das super.

In the same hallway as the teacher with low‑rigor games and mindless cut and paste activities is the one with “shut up sheets” (busy work from Google) and “shut up note‑taking” (copying from the board). The only commonality is both thought last week’s PD was a waste of time.

They should teach this in every school: EVERYTHING you learn, even basic math, decays over time unless you use it regularly in daily life or make a deliberate effort to practice it. This phenomenon is known as Ebbinghaus’s Forgetting Curve.
