I've always loved that sandbox that is anti-examples. This article covers the benefits of this in learning | The Benefits of Anti-Models for Boosting Learning www.edutopia.org/article/powe...
The Benefits of Anti-Models for Boosting Learning
Teachers can explore with students what not to do—like confusing operations in math or using boring word choices in writing—to set students on the right path and boost learning.

K-12 AI = nebulous chasm of nuance. Some are thrilled it's here to help. Some are petrified it's here to hurt. So, what is it? I often use the analogy of a hammer - a tool that can be used to create or to bludgeon. For teachers, it has a lot of potential to help. PD is needed! #demystifyAI #EduSkyAI

What if I told you that in a small, rust belt city, where abandoned buildings line the streets, kids are doing better in reading than in some of the richest school districts in America? www.youtube.com/shorts/KsBNf...

There's a lot of debate about the effectiveness and research with #BTC (Building Thinking Classrooms). I prefer the middle route - elements of BTC certainly do line up with well-researched practices, but not all. Given its popularity I expect more explicit research on BTC to come. bit.ly/btcandvl

@rastokke.bsky.social What research, if any, are you aware of with respect to instruction of fractions as corresponding to cognitive development (and associated age or grade level)? Heard a teacher talk about learning that 3rd grade was too early, but have not been able to find any evidence myself.
