When I blog for #ITT begining teachers & their #mentors, it is always with my own partnership in mind.
I'm preparing to introduce my #PGCE students to semantic waves next week, & will draw on this as I do so...

Struggling with lesson PITCH?
Jointly written with @apf102.bsky.social, this blog explores an approach we've used with #ITT beginning #teachers to examine the PITCH of their lessons through thinking about sequencing of knowledge.

The “University of Virginia” is no longer recognised by the LCT Centre as a university after selling academic freedom to an authoritarian.
The LCT Centre says: No Kings. LCT is empowering, so against authoritarianism.

Today I presented 2 posters on new strands of work using Maton's LCT @lctcentre.bsky.social at #UKICER2025. The first was on the problem of ensuring students understand the 'rules of the game' in learning to program are (code quality matters) using the epistemic plane.

My 2nd new strand of work using Maton's LCT @lctcentre.bsky.social presented at #UKICER2025 on the problem of teaching skills (graduate, workplace, practical) with theory, visualising using the semantic plane, suggests should integrate with waves between theory and skills

😊
The LCT Centre no longer recognises “Columbia University” as a university, because it has forfeited its institutional autonomy to become an arm of the US Justice Dept.
After reading an intro like this it's also worth reading the original paper by Karl Maton that introduces Semantic Waves

which is where I first found out about it and realised how well it helped me teach computing especially unplugged and using metaphors.

Didn’t Douglas Adams have the character Ford Prefect (who names himself after a car) think this decades ago?
Three pictures from the session of making a robotic face from volunteers programmed to react to sounds and doing magic.
Yesterday I was having fun working with #DigitalSchoolhouse Lead Teachers demonstrating unplugged computing and talking about principles of doing it well based on research on @lctcentre.bsky.social Legitimation Code Theory Semantics and Autonomy... (teaching with Magic, Making Faces and Mayhem)
Big Book of Computing Pedagogy: lots of good pedagogy includes @lctcentre.bsky.social semantic waves (one thing I talked about at the #PlayfulComputingConference) Also talks about unplugged computing, and Playful computing and more

Their son’s body was just found.
