Typing “how r u” is not a smart way to save time. It signals that the receiver isn’t worth your time.
8 studies: When we use text abbreviations, others are less responsive. Shortcuts seem insincere, reducing their interest in engaging.
In relationships, a little effort goes a long way.

Different strategies are best for different phases of learning; deep learning strategies don’t work any better for surface learning than surface learning strategies work for deep learning: ow.ly/F8o250SIzsR

Learning is fueled by feedback, and great feedback is that which is heard, understood, and actionable by students: ow.ly/IzHM50SIzzv

"Practice makes perfect" is not accurate.
Practice can make something permanent, but only some types of practice ensure that learning occurs: ow.ly/6PUq50SIzU1

"Flipped classroom interventions produced positive gains across [academic, intra-/interpersonal, and satisfaction-related outcomes], and we found significant advantages of flipped over lecture-based instruction for seven out of eight outcomes."

New paper from Norway: Banning smartphones in school
- significantly decreased doctors visits for psychological symptoms and diseases among girls
- reduced bullying among both genders
- improved girls’ GPA and attendance rates
- largest effect sizes were among the poorest kids
John Almarode retweeted
Banning smartphones in schools is good for learning and well-being.
New study of 400+ middle schools in Norway: after smartphone bans, girls had fewer mental health issues & better grades. Boys and girls were less likely to be bullied.
Smartphones belong at home or in lockers.

Something to bear in mind when using peer tutoring: in this study, when students helped each other, they gave answers rather than help or hints when helping less competent peers: go.nature.com/3vUJOt1
