As Joshua Eyler was researching a book on what brain science tells us about how to improve teaching , one issue kept coming up as an underlying problem: The way schools and colleges grade student work is at odds with effective teaching. The science says kids need to feel free to try things and fail, and that the deepest learning comes when failure happens and the student figures out how to course-correct, Eyler says.

I'm afraid to say I won't be at the GA Conference this year. I shall miss out on it for the first time in many years due to the train strikes affecting the tickets I booked months ago. I'm sorry not to be there for Denise Freeman's Presidential lecture, and catching up with the whole geography community, and also a chance to congratulate Steve Brace in person for his recent appointment as Chief Executive of the GA.

A nice project shared by R T Wilson. Thanks to Alasdair Rae for the tipoff. I created a cool web app using @OrdnanceSurvey data - British Placename Mapper ( [link] ). It allows you to search for place names that match various criteria (starts with 'great', ends with 'burgh' etc) and plot them on an interactive map. #gis #geospatial — Robin Wilson (@sciremotesense) April 2, 2024 Here's a map of places with Alan in their name.

The dominant bellicist explanation for state formation argues that this fragmentation was an unintended consequence of imperial collapse, and that warfare in the early modern era overcame fragmentation by winnowing out small polities and conso

For the first 57 minutes of the basketball game between two Bend, Oregon, high school rivals, Kyra Rice stood at the edges of the court taking yearbook photos. With just minutes before the end of the game, she was told she had to move. Kyra pushed back: She had permission to stand near the court. The athletic director got involved, Kyra recalled.

But that natural proclivity for learning about the thoughts and feelings of others — an essential part of forming friendships or connecting with teachers — seems to get beaten out of many students by the time they’ve
