🚨 New Post 🚨
Oracy: What to teach, not how to teach
Why we need a substantive knowledge framework for Speaking and Listening that tells schools what to teach, not how to teach.

We are an unapologetically paper based reading solution.
No screens
No account admin
No fuss
Less tech and more text is the antidote a whole generation needs to begin to undo the damage of a screen based childhood.
How do your students start their day?

We stand ready and willing to meet with @YvetteCooperMP and @LucyMPowell to explore the health and learning benefits of a daily dose of reading for every student in England. Every minute spent on a page instead of a screen should be celebrated loudly and proudly.

We (@LiteracyEngine) have been asked repeatedly by schools for an online platform to set homework and we repeatedly resist in favour of paper resources. In the drive against students using AI to outsource their thinking, paper and pen takes some beating.
Pupils are giving AI their PASSWORDS to do their homework!
Students are reportedly allowing AI agents to log into platforms such as Sparx and complete entire assignments for them.
These tools can now control a computer, move the mouse and carry out tasks on a user’s behalf.
Are schools prepared for this next stage of AI-assisted cheating? 👇

Some useful texts from the archives that may come in handy over the next few days:
