What's the relationship between #goals, #failure, and #emotions? I've explored a recent study here: ow.ly/yl9C50VLImc You won't be surprised to learn: the answers are COMPLICATED -- but it's helpful to think through these questions.

Is #embodied_cognition a thing? Should students use #gestures while learning? I have found a "steelman" study...but I have enduring concerns: ow.ly/mY0i50VTpuo

We want our students to enjoy #reading, and to be skilled readers. Is one of those goal more helpful than the other? I found a useful twin study from Finland: ow.ly/Bi7a50VWj4A
