Snapshot of the 8 pages of notes I took yesterday while listening to @katejonesteach.bsky.social and @brucenextlevel.bsky.social speak in Edinburgh 📝 Got lots of ideas for new things to try in class next week to improve my instruction and feedback 💡

Hand-drawn sketchnotes titled "Jones & Robertson" on dotted paper. It features notes on memory, noting that "long term memory is phenomenal" while "working memory is limited". Key phrases include "Attention: gateway to learning", "Need to know vs. Nice to know", and a graphic comparing "storage strength" to "retrieval strength".

A continuation of sketchnotes featuring sections on "Working Memory Capacity", noting that 1 in 10 learners have difficulties. It includes diagrams on breaking chunked tasks down further, a section on "Dual Coding" emphasizing clear picture links, and tips for fill-in-the-blank exercises.

Sketchnotes focused on questioning techniques in the classroom. Bold heading reads "Ask more questions more often" with a note about aiming for "one question every minute of teacher talk". Sub-sections cover the effectiveness of assessment, promoting elaboration, and follow-up prompts like "How do you know?" and "Why do you think that?”

Sketchnotes exploring a "reimagined chilli challenge" and task design. It features a green arrow diagram showing choices of where to begin, alongside a drawing of pick 'n' mix sweets. The central message is highlighted in pink and black script: "Follow the learning, not the lesson plan".
