In a world full of digital distractions, context is crucial for behavior change. Psychologists call it situation modification—changing environments to support better choices. That’s why I launched Phones in Focus—a national study on how school phone policies can support student focus, well-being, and success. 👉 Teachers & school leaders: take the 5-min survey → phonesinfocus.org #PhonesInFocus #EducationPolicy #StudentSuccess #BehavioralScience

Positive thinking doesn't always lead to peak performance, but negative thinking almost always leads to poor performance.

Using @OpenAI to generate practice questions for Grade 9 Math. Students realized the challenges of making questions with answers that “work nicely”. ChatGPT can give students the “more practice” they hope for while focusing on multiple choice or word problems, depending on needs

• If you're wrong, admit it. • If you're confused, ask questions. • If you're stuck, seek for help. • If you make mistake, learn from it. • If you learn something, teach others

When groups meet to brainstorm, good ideas are lost. People bite their tongues due to conformity pressure, noise, and ego threat. A better approach is brainwriting: generate ideas separately, then meet to assess and refine. Group wisdom begins with individual creativity.
