Hello 👋
And welcome to all the new readers who have joined over the last week. I must say, it really is a buzz when a new name appears 🙂 and so I thank you for your interest. Every single one of you has made me smile this week.
You all should have received an On Learning long read this week: Hmm-that’s-interesting learning. Normally the long reads are for paying subscribers only but with all the goodwill swirling around Notes, and the new readers finding me, I couldn’t resist opening it to everyone. I hope you liked it. It certainly went somewhere I didn’t predict when I first started thinking about it. Thanks to Jane for extending my thinking about this kind of learning in her comment.
Lastly, a reminder that this morning, 9am NZ time, I’ll be hosting an AMA session on Chat. These are normally for paid subscribers only, but I’m opening this one up to everyone. It would be lovely to see you there.
Here’s the round-up of this week’s Thoughts - Monday at the top. Click them and you’ll be taken to the source.
(A reminder that these are posted to Notes each week day. PS: It’s a pretty cool place.)
I love comments. Would it be crazy if you added one to one that makes you go, hmm?
Something for you
I’ve put together a guide for teachers interested in the transformation that happens through play.
It’s called How to Get More Playful Learning Without Sinking the Learning Ship.
It’s free. There are no strings attached. I don’t even want your email address in return.
If you want to read it, click this button.
Feel free to download it. Feel free to share it.

“You don’t really know where you are until you wander off the path. Woof!!!”
Thanks for reading. If I don’t catch you in the chat, have a great weekend.
