    • “If you play Angry Birds or some other game on your mobile or laptop, you are not thinking about what you are making tonight for dinner. You are thinking about what is going on in the game,” she says.

  • Assessment is arguably the piece of the learning cycle we get most wrong. Whether looked at from the perspective of the learner, the teacher, the school administrator, the politician or the parent, assessment is misunderstood and poorly utilised as a tool for learning. The importance of changing this situation is only made more salient in light of the countless research studies from the likes of Jon Hattie & Dylan Wiliam that points to the power of effective assessment. So, what are the common mistakes and how might we avoid them?

  • How studying childhood amnesia is leading to changes in the way we think about brain development, learning, and memory --- this article mentions implications in the home and in the courts but it also seems relevant to the classroom

    • "What we found was that even as young as the second year of life, children had very robust memories for these specific past events,"
    • "Why is it that as adults we have difficulty remembering that period of our lives?"
    • More studies provided evidence that at some point in childhood, people lose access to their early memories.
    • children as old as 7 could still recall more than 60 percent of those early events
    • children who were 8 or 9 recalled less than 40 percent.
    • we observed was actually the onset of childhood amnesia,"
    • still not entirely clear why early memories are so fragile
    • Some early memories are more likely than others to survive childhood amnesia
    • One example, she says, is a memory that carries a lot of emotion.
    • "They want to be cooperative," she says, "so you have to be very careful not to put words in their mouth."
    • Another powerful determinant of whether an early memory sticks is whether a child fashions it into a good story, with a time and place and a coherent sequence of events, Peterson says. "Those are the kinds of memories that are going to last," she says.
    • And it turns out parents play a big role in what a child remembers, Peterson says. Research shows that when a parent helps a child give shape and structure and context to a memory, it's less likely to fade away.
    • At first, he just talked about it with her.
    • school writing assignments.
    • when our own memories start to fail, Peterson says, we rely on family members, photo albums and videos to restore them.

    • books—shelved in a four-floor spiral connected by gently sloping ramps—were given pride of place in the design
    • many assumed that physical tomes would soon go the way of the card catalog and the cassette tape.
    • More than a decade later, however, demand for the printed word—and its place in libraries—remain strong.
    • downtown Seattle’s new public library opened in 2004
    • What has shifted is that libraries are increasingly tasked with accommodating a multitude of uses, of which book storage and circulation is just one.
    • The most innovative library designs, she added, are those that “don’t just conceive of books as sources of information but of the social and intellectual practices that develop around reading and research.”
    • room for research, and for the various kinds of work that are undertaken in a library today, but also preservation of many of the older library typologies that people love,” she said.
    • “It's critical and vital to our communities that we create inspiring spaces where they can interact with each other and with our materials,”
