We Need to Talk About Scaffolding

A new replication challenges the evidence behind one of education’s core ideas.

. “Timing and updating real-time predictions about what is needed is key for educators,” she told me. “Also sitting with the discomfort of seeing a child struggle is needed — but don’t walk away. Keep paying attention as a teacher and work towards ‘leading by following’ instead of taking over.” The article asks some very good questions- you can't use simplistic procedures for complex interactions. But the critique of education research is so on point. @npub18x5v...z5lv

I have read a lot about the impact of Starlink on the night sky, and have seen the "trains" of newly launched satellites. But today I saw this map, which plots them all, in real time. Or you can speed it up a bit. I understand there are plans to put up at least two more constellations this dense. I have no words. @npub1uw8g...88kr Have you seen this site- it makes the point rather starkly. #astronomy #starlink
