There’s a crucial difference between using AI to support thinking and using it to substitute for thinking. Offloading supports cognition. Outsourcing replaces it. https://t.co/alp5GFg58n

This isn’t about learning through failure or productive failure or productive struggle or any of those failing approaches that let kids flail. It’s more a possible extension of retrieval practice with hints of interleaving. https://t.co/CZ6J7Ozi29

Bloom's famous 1984 paper on the 2 sigma tutoring effect has justified huge spending on human tutors & massively influenced modern ed tech. But the underlying data cannot bear the weight of these conclusions. Latest on our Substack (with bonus Don Bradman references).

One-to-one tuition is not what it's cracked up to be

Stop teaching (through) failure Designing instruction that depends on failure isn’t principled minimalism; it’s misplaced optimism. Failure is an outcome. Learning is a design problem. And confusing the two is a mistake we can’t afford. https://t.co/QVagn377Ej

Over the years I've been asked many times for advice on pedagogy, what to read to learn more, etc. I've finally put together a bunch of materials into one blog post: Key Advice • Readings • Neuromyths • For Computer Scientists • Classroom Tips. Enjoy! https://t.co/hPRzWlRk1h

Must read. The data are stark.
The 2025 State of AI & Computer Science Education Report is here, and the data tells a powerful story. 60% of U.S. high schools offer computer science, but access still isn’t equitable. Too many students, particularly in rural and underrepresented communities, remain excluded

Thought I had a good sabbatical plan for the spring, but it's been upended by a one-time opportunity: I've ended up on the committee creating India's new national 11th and 12th grade curriculum/textbook in computer science. So much for the best laid schemes, but also exciting!
