2018/11/15

Pete (@mr_van_w) questions the importance of handwriting. Maybe the current generation doesn't have it all wrong and it just doesn't actually matter as much as we think it does. On a side note: We were in a meeting today and a colleague talked up how students are much better off writing with a pen and when they can't spell something they look it up in the dictionary. 1. How many kid actually know when they make a spelling mistake. 2. How many kids care enough to then look the word up in a

Pete (@mr_van_w) opens with a shout out to the Mr Barton Maths Podcast http://www.mrbartonmaths.com/podcast/ and his interview of Andrew Blair (@inquirymaths).

Pete's not near John, and this makes him sad. So he sent John an audio message. Dear John... Pete's been reading the excellent @cultofpedagogy again. As it often does it pulled his head out of the oven. Nostalgia is the killer of art and it turns out it may be just as dangerous to education.

So Pete and John had grand plans of getting together and putting out this pod in the start of the holidays and then doing a couple of pods during the holidays. Look, we all know that didn't happen. I'm not sure what's on this one either - I like to take a gamble and see what's on there when it's published. In other words, as John likes to say, I'm rubbish. I might update these show notes after I listen. But I doubt it. Dear listener we love you, my rubbishness is less a reflection on how we feel
