NEW BLOG: Retrieval Is Not a Starter Activity www.emaths.co.uk/blog/general...
Illustrated blog banner for an education article titled Retrieval Is Not a Starter Activity. A teacher leads a discussion with pupils while a mathematical problem involving trigonometry is displayed on a whiteboard. The scene emphasises the use of prior knowledge to solve new problems, with visual references to retrieval, method selection, connection-making and application. The design conveys the idea that retrieval is most powerful when embedded naturally within the story of learning rather than used as a disconnected classroom routine.

This throws up some really interesting questions. One of those ones where I've got so many connecting thoughts that it's pub-chat stuff. Loved this line:
Teachers cannot simply "use AI"; they must understand the difference between AI as cognitive prosthetic and AI as cognitive offload.
