And I’m also curious about whether adding in an on-screen image of the teacher’s text (via a visualiser) along with their ruler is helpful /unhelpful in terms of cognitive load? @suchmo83.bsky.social I’m guessing unhelpful … but this is something I’ve hit into the habit of doing …

Such an interesting thread. Do you have thoughts or observations (or is there research) on whether comprehension and/or understanding differ when the text is fiction or non-fiction?

I thought you might like it. I listened to the Beethoven one today too - not so much history in that one, but a beautifully told story - read by Dominic West. I’m going to binge listen to all of them I think. ☺️

A privilege to have done my PGCE there years ago. I’d do it again tomorrow if I could!

Nah - it’s because you’re generous and you really, really care. It’s as much from the heart as it is from the head. And it’s that that that enables to to see what really matters. ☺️

It was nice to chat today! See you next week at the BSET Conference. ☺️ (It will probably be equally busy! I am looking forward to listening to Alex Quigley.)

I missed this when you ran it live last year and the recording link has gone cold too - is there a way I might catch up with it do you think?

Ah yes - I missed you today! Hope you’re well. 😊

I couldn’t possibly comment! There are a choice of voices apparently.

We have ‘bells’ that speak these days - our bells that rang to denote start/end of lessons are now speakers that do a ‘bing /bong’ (Avon calling stylee) for end of lesson and for fire drills etc, there’s an AI voice that gives the instruction to move out of the building.
