Reflection: Week of February 11-18, 2018

A reflection on this past week cannot ignore the tragedy in Florida. In terms of reflecting on the issue of school shootings, I doubt that anything I write here is groundbreaking. However, I do believe that all human beings share a universal connection. This connection is based on the many things people have in common - starting with the desire to ease pain and experience pleasure.

Hopefully, we can move forward as a people with a spirit of support, empathy, solution finding, and action that makes such events less likely to happen.


Shifting focus, here is what happened this week on the Thrivapy Blog.

February 12: I love The Learning Scientists! It is one of my favorite resources for helping break down the science of learning. On 2/12, I shared a video about retrieval practice that explains how this powerful learning strategy works.

I also stepped away from "learning stuff" and did a post-North London Derby episode of The Thrivapy Show. #COYG

February 13: I posted a picture that explains what a learning lifestyle is.

February 14: Before the tragedy in Florida, I posted a Valentine's Day themed piece expressing my gratitude.

February 15: Want better concentration? Check out the piece on doing just that!

February 16: I shared the podcast version of the live recording of The Thrivapy Show on the Thrivapy Facebook Page. This episode was about purpose and partnership in learning.

Peace and Courage,
