Around the world, smartphone bans in schools are being implemented to protect students from distraction and digital overload. But do they work? Is less more? #EduSky www.kirschnered.nl/2025/11/01/w...

Overal ter wereld proberen scholen en universiteiten hun leerlingen te beschermen tegen afleiding en digitale overbelasting door smartphones uit de klas te weren. Misschien is de slimste onderwijstechnologie wel geen technologie, maar stilte. #EduSky www.kirschnered.nl/2025/11/01/a...

Misschien is de slimste onderwijstechnologie wel geen technologie, maar stilte.

When Phones Go Out the Window, Learning Comes In the Door Around the world smartphone bans in schools are being implemented in an attempt to protect students from distraction and digital overload. Maybe the smartest educational technology policy isn’t to add more technology, but to take some of it…

Wow! @educhatter.bsky.social is unleashed! "We can continue down the path of fuzzy, self-absorbed, therapeutic, politicized schooling, where every fad finds its way into the curriculum, or we can restore liberal education as the foundation of our schools." educhatter.wordpress.com/2025/10/24/e...

We - @timsurma.bsky.social, Maxime Bultheel, Jasper Nijlunsing, Claudio Vanhees and I - wrote an article for Impact Journal @CharteredColl on a case study implementing a knowledge rich curriculum in pre-school (!) #EduSky my.chartered.college/impact_artic...

Het was fijn om te praten met @rinkevanhoeck.bsky.social over illusies in het onderwijs. Je kijkt en ziet iets en gaat jouw brein dat dan interpreteren. Maar je moet/mag je ogen en oren niet altijd vertrouwen. Things are often not what they seem! #EduSky share.transistor.fm/s/17768f5b

In contrast to the 'fool's gold' that's often dished up as teacher training, @nsachdeva.bsky.social and Jim Hewitt offer us pure gold for sifting through the advertorials. scienceoflearning.substack.com/p/when-teach...

A must read! open.substack.com/pub/harriett...

If research is to genuinely inform education then translation must be anchored in expertise, rigor, & responsibility. Otherwise, what began as a noble effort to bridge research and practice becomes little more than well-intentioned, but ultimately misleading noise. www.kirschnered.nl/2025/09/21/a...

When Teacher Training Feels Like a Sales Pitch (and How to Push Back) What an incredibly good post by @nsachdeva.bsky.social and Jim Hewitt open.substack.com/pub/scienceo...

What is a knowledge-rich curriculum? In any event not just facts, not just math and reading, and not elitist. It is the strongest lever for equity. And thus ultimately a matter of social justice. #EduSky @timsurma.bsky.social, @danielmuijs.bsky.social

Students won’t learn unless they’re motivated. But the best way to motivate them is to enable them to experience achievement. #EduSky nataliewexler.substack.com/p/the-key-to...

Dealing with learners with disabilities, clarity isn’t a crutch — it’s a bridge that all learners they can walk across. And for many, that bridge makes all the difference. #EduSky www.kirschnered.nl/2025/09/09/a...

School is beginning almost everywhere. Make sure your children/students don't fall victim to the soft bigotry of low expectations. Set the bar high for everyone and help them jump over it! #EduSky

I find it somewhere between unbelievable and disheartening that people without empirical research credentials propose a new, untested, unresearched theory of learning; a new cognitive philosophy (!!) of learning. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... predictablycorrect.substack.com/p/beyond-loa...

De Wereld op Z'n Kop / A Topsy-Turvy World In België is het blijkbaar beter om meer slechte artsen op te leiden dan minder goede. In Belgium, it appears that it is better to train more mediocre doctors than fewer excellent ones. #EduSky www.kirschnered.nl/2025/08/27/d...

When the f*ck will they learn? For $65,000 a year, students study for just two hours a day using adaptive apps and personalized lesson plans and spend their afternoons on life skills such as learning to ride a bike or financial literacy. #EduSky archive.ph/Acf7t

Since its release in late 2022, ChatGPT has dazzled students and educators alike. Some early studies report dramatic gains—leading to meta-analyses that suggest ChatGPT significantly improves learning. But can we trust these claims? Not yet. open.substack.com/pub/paulkirs...
