I wrote a romance novel called The Long Con… and then got actual romance scammers to promote it! I wrote about what happened and what it says about the industrialization of modern love for Medium’s Human Parts:

AB705 led to more students passing transfer-level math... but also more students failing. How can a good policy feel so bad in the classroom? @FederickNgo & I use cognitive science to explain this paradox.
OPINION: Efforts to reduce remedial math courses created a paradox that can make the policy feel like a failure, even when overall numbers suggest the policy is improving access to higher-level math. #caedu #STEM

The robots are learning faster than we are. Maybe it’s time education took a hint from AI. Thanks to @CA_LearningLab and @dsforeveryone for giving us the encouragement and opportunity to get this out there.
What if instructor professional learning worked more like AI? Iterative. Feedback-driven. Built to learn from real data. That’s the vision Ji Son and Jim Stigler explore in this guest piece for @ca_learninglab. Read the full Substack post here!

We discuss: What does the attention economy mean for education? Can we reclaim agency in a system designed to steal it? Have you seen changes in yourself, young people, or the systems we live in? Let me know what you think! 🎙️ Full Episode: https://t.co/siuAvCZDi6 /fin.

What happens when tech algorithms capture our attention so effectively that we lose agency? On East LA's "Riding the Wave" podcast, I stepped outside my academic bubble for a convo about the deep things that affect us all! 🎥 Watch the clip: https://t.co/WbI5uYNTaO 1/

Big props to the expanded Cross-Section team (including @jannalouie @janehongphd @susumula @azuspeak - anyone else still on twitter???) and all the awesome folks who engaged in these heartfelt conversations about why we should vote.

Get out the vote (#GOTV) ya'll! Even though I'm sometimes a cynical political junkie, I'm moved by this video of Grandma Yets, who went through Japanese internment, talking about voting with her granddaughter, a brand new voter. https://t.co/3UXlyWmHIG

New Research Alert! 🚨 Discover how sensorimotor engagement uniquely boosts learning in STEM! We found that watching hands manipulate objects leads to significantly better understanding of complex concepts compared to just dynamic visuals or live coding.

This article explores the role of sensorimotor engagement in students’ learning of a challenging science, technology, engineering, and math-related concept. Previous research has failed to distingu...
