As a visual arts educator, I understand the unique opportunities students have to learn by making, inventing, and creating, to communicate their ideas. The work of the New London Group (2000), the more recent National Core Arts Standards and the National Core Media Arts Standards (2014) and the New York Arts & Media Arts Standards (2017) have…

Multimodality is recognized as a useful pedagogical tool, but it is often difficult to apply in real-life curricula.

There is abundant evidence for the "video deficit": children under 2 years old learn better in person than from video. We evaluated whether these findings applied to video chat by testing whether children aged 12-25 months could form relationships with and learn from on-screen partners. We manipulated social contingency: children…

Bodies can have very weird trajectories when tossed into the air. The amazing motion of a water bottle flip is qualitatively described as related to the position of the centre of mass (CM) with respect to the body's frame of reference. Although this is rather easy to guess from simple observations, it is not so obvious to verify quantitatively…
