Spending a lot of time and energy in my research helping elementary students learn how to use evidence to support their claims about science. Then I look at the news and worry that supporting claims with evidence is no-longer a thing people want to do? Maybe it never was outside the ideal, but….

At the end of data collection yesterday I asked a student if they enjoyed the activity. “Yes it was fun, but I wish we had more time!” In two weeks we do, but also that is music to my ears!! CSCL and Science Modeling for the win!

Today I will be playing board games with friends. I will definitely not doom-scroll. Nope. Also I might read fiction and do some cooking. But no doom-scrolling. I hope everyone reading this finds some pockets of joy and calm with friends and family as well.

Colleagues, I’m about to make an ask that used to work better on Twitter, but if you could help me out that would be so amazing. I’m considering the timing of my tenure process and looking to make my strongest case. If you’ve used my work in class, could you please email or dm me to let me know?

Can confirm! This was super fun read and I can’t wait for the sequel!!

Back in my day… if I was as bad at summarizing a chapter as my email client is at summarizing emails my English teacher would accuse me of not doing the reading assignment.

Past presidents knew the value of education. Upon the subject of education...I can only say that I view it as the most important subject we as a people can be engaged in. That every [person] may receive at least a moderate education...appears to be an object of vital importance. -Abraham Lincoln

One under-discussed benefit of studying young kids learning through play is that no-matter how stressful the week is, someone has data with kids doing hysterical and / or amazing things to brighten the day and remind us why we do this work.

Diversity and merit are not opposites. Most good DEI efforts I know of are explicitly about merit. Assuming they can’t co-exist is absurd to me.

A policy raising the teacher salary floor in New Jersey boosted teacher pay statewide and led to improvements in student achievement and longer-term outcomes (most likely due to changes in the composition of entering teachers and teacher motivation) edworkingpapers.com/ai25-1104

It amazes me how often researchers who study young children just don’t believe they are amazingly capable. We need to present / assess things in the right way, but limiting them due to outdated research is just not helpful. Directed at reviewer #2.

Me: I like this idea but can’t quite see how this all fits together. Actually, in my dissertation … Student: do you mean this table? (Displays table from my dissertation on-screen with highlighting.) Me: …. Yes? Student: yes that was super helpful! Here is how I did it! Me: woah

In today’s meeting when we were discussing some materials we are working on with / for teachers I am once again reminded that of how often time / systemic constraints are a barrier for teachers and how rarely that is in the public discourse…

Watched my son play 4 hockey games this weekend. Super fun watching him and his teammates refine their game and have a blast; their passing game is better and better! Whoever designed the common bleacher hated parents. And I applaud youth sport refs who deal with frustrated kids and parents.

Another article drop from the special issue @lamajaber.bsky.social and I are editing about affect and emotion in Science Education. The quoted thread has all the goods—so far! And there’s still MUCH MORE coming.

As with most Gen-Xers, I thought I would be experiencing quicksand far more often than I do, and at the same time I am relieved that I don't have to deal with quicksand because I am absolutely sure it would defeat me instantly. I do know which forks to use though. You go from the outside in.

I love playing games in person but for my many friends who live far away it’s a truly wondrous thing to be able to play board games online while catching up over video chat… going to sleep happy and content.

Had the pleasure of kicking off the new year by watching “maybe happy ending.” It was amazing! Touching story, beautiful singing, perfect comedic timing and some important questions about the human condition and AI. Also the most impressive staging I think I’ve ever seen. Highly recommend.

May be many reasons for this, but the update mentions the shift toward AIED. The community deserves to understand funding orgs’ candid take on the future of K12 CSEd & how they view it in rel to AI (in) Ed. I’ve heard frm folks that districts are being told to ditch CSEd & make it all about #AI.

I feel the need to print t-shirts that say “NO, WE DON’T ALL WANT OUR STUFF GOING TO AN LLM.” Who wants one?
