Back when OpenAI launched ChatGPT at the tail end of 2022, it was introduced as a conversational interface fine-tuned from a model in the GPT-3.5 series. Teachers, being teachers, quickly took to it as a means to help, mostly at that point with things like lesson plans, adaptive resources and…
Last week I said I’d say more on the day. Today is the day. When I started this six weeks ago, I wasn’t sure how it would go. The idea was simple enough: take the areas of teaching and learning that matter most, retrieval, formative assessment, feedback, questioning, explanations and…
Today, I’m sharing the final infographic in what has become for me a real passion project. This week, the last of six, it’s 24 ways to embed metacognition and self-regulation in your classroom. Metacognition and self-regulation get cited a lot as the best bang for your buck in education, the…
