Been doing something similar, but simpler, for a few years, with voice memos & notes. No auto data gathering but self assessment. Valuable.

An account of a poetry lesson, with some thoughts on efficiency, on how we treat texts and on knowledge.

efficiency in teaching is a problematic idea. Of course time and energy shouldn’t be evaporated away by gimmickry or activity with no purpose. But an element of theatre, an injection of emotion, or a playful unwrapping of ideas can be worth the time if ideas are more memorably imprinted or are more deeply understood.

Interesting post in relation to knowledge, exploratory learning. I’ll be revisiting the blog for the primary section which looks really valuable.

Data.

Boiling down children, human beings, to data.

Data on maths and literacy.

That’s what league tables do.

They don’t demotivate me because I know they paint a tiny, incomplete picture of a school, a smaller one of a class and a microscopic view of an individual child. https://twitter.com/mark_mclaughlin/status/1428405387355623425

Data, can be done differently.

Bookmarked Create a Random Generator - Perchance.org (perchance.org)
Perchance is a platform for creating and sharing random text generators. To create a random generator you simply create lists which reference other lists

Wonder if this could be useful for the classroom. Certainly plenty of story-starter types. Also Word Problems (Adding and Subtracting) might be a start.
