#ActiveLearning

Results from our #RCT of Jigsaw #ActiveLearning vs. traditional lectures for teaching #anatomy and #physiology:

Both methods improved student knowledge, but no evidence of *differences* in learning between the two methods (immediately or after three months). However, many more students in the ‘traditional teaching’ group than in the Jigsaw group *preferred* their assigned teaching method over others (78% vs. 38%).

Line plot showing the mean scores at baseline, post-intervention and the 3-month follow-up. At baseline, the mean scores for both groups are around 13 points. At post-intervention, they have increased to about 17.5 points, while at three months, they have decreased again, to around 16.5 points. The lines for the two groups are roughly parallel, and differ by only about half a point (in favour of traditional teaching).

National Storytelling Week reminds us that stories don’t only live in books 📚✨

With a light, a screen, and a little imagination, shadow puppets bring stories to life in a whole new way- through movement, voices, problem-solving and creativity. Children become the storytellers, the characters, and the directors all at once.
This is a great activity to try at home!

Do beats Show and Tell. Multi-sensory environments improve our ability to learn, requiring us to be active participants in our learning.

You can build active learning and connection into meetings using pair share. Here's why and when to use trio share rather than pair share.

🧺 Try at Home! 🧦
Pegging up laundry (even tiny dolls' clothes!) is a wonderful way for children to help out at home.

This simple, practical task supports fine motor skills, hand strength, and hand-eye coordination, while also building confidence, independence, and a sense of responsibility. When children feel involved in real-life routines, they learn that their contributions matter.

Providing downtime during any meeting is important, but scheduling breaks during online meetings is especially important.

공급망·물류 분야에서의 긍정적 소식입니다. 트윗은 의사결정 경계(decision boundaries)에 초점을 맞춘 표적 데이터 수집(targeted data collection)이 실제로 성과를 좌우하는 핵심 요인이라며, 이러한 데이터 전략이 공급망과 물류 시스템의 성능을 실질적으로 개선할 수 있음을 시사합니다.

Автоматизация подготовки датасета для задачи сегментации объектов: от сбора данных до готового прототипа за пару дней

Проблема Представьте ситуацию: у вас задача: нужно сделать прототип проекта, который требует обучения модели сегментации на специфичных данных. Классический подход — это недели и даже месяцы ручной работы: • Сбор и запись данных • Удаление дубликатов вручную • Ручная разметка тысяч изображений (Это и деньги, и время) • Валидация качества данных (Это тоже и деньги, и время) • Подготовка датасета для обучения Для маленькой команды, стартапа, это ну прям А что если весь этот процесс можно автоматизировать и сократить с недель до нескольких минут? Именно такую систему мы разработали буквально за один день для нового прототипного проекта.

🌲❄️ Fresh air doesn’t take a Christmas break ❄️🌲
The Christmas holidays are a wonderful time to slow down, but getting outdoors still plays a vital role in children’s wellbeing. Whether it’s a winter walk, muddy puddle jumping, or a quiet moment noticing nature, time outside supports physical health, emotional regulation, creativity, and calm.

Another thing I'm looking for resources and articles for as I do research between semesters for a presentation is #ActiveLearning in classrooms. I'm especially interested in Active Learning for online / hyflex classes.

Also looking for OER #OpenEducationalResources stuff.

Our preschoolers have been busy bringing the Christmas story to life 🎄✨
After being inspired by the beautiful knitted nativity in our reception area, the children decided to create their own version- using cardboard, tissue paper, imagination and a whole lot of teamwork.
We love seeing their ideas take shape in such creative ways!

✨ Try at Home Activity! ✨
Last week, our preschool children grated cheese and carrots to make their own tasty wraps- a simple, healthy lunch you could try out at home!
Top tip: Try using a small nutmeg grater- its size makes it much easier for children to handle safely and confidently.
Let them sprinkle, roll, and enjoy!

📦Big imagination, simple materials! Create a cardboard house with peek-through windows and watch your little one’s play brim with creativity and hide-and-seek fun.

✨ Awe and wonder in action!
Messy play is where curiosity comes alive, and sometimes that means children end up wearing the learning as much as doing it!
This is why we always say: don’t send your child in anything you don’t want to get messy! 🎨
