Alissa McCulloch's opening lines provide an excellent summary of this great blog post:
Australian library catalogues speak American English. This has pissed me off for as long as I can remember (long before I started working in libraries). I want to do something about it.
A new replication study revives the question: Is taking notes by hand really better for students?
Michelle Miller with some great stuff on learning, note-taking, and research replication:
Sure, it feels like vindication for those of us who have had it with the kids-these-days tone of the worst of the laptop ban arguments. But I hope we can make this more than another tit-for-tat exchange between pro- and anti-technology camps. It should serve as a warning against the confirmation bias that is naturally going to happen as we search for evidence that supports our passionately held positions about learning. It should continue to serve as a push towards universal design for learning, with the realization that some learners are put at a disadvantage or excluded altogether when handwriting is mandatory.
Adam Mastroianni has many correct opinions and interesting things to say about scholarly peer review. You should read them.
