#dualcoding
It’s half term (finally) and this dropped through my letterbox! Can’t believe I didn’t get it sooner - so many ideas and ways to improve my use of graphic organisers #resources #edulit @olicav #teaching #dualcoding #cognitiveload #cpd

🎯 Day 4 – #EvidenceInformedEdTech

Use Dual Coding to aid memory.
✅ Combine visuals with key text
✅ Use Canva or Adobe Express
✅ Stick to clear layouts & consistent icons

Why? It helps learners connect learning content.

Dual-coding theory tells us that pairing visuals with words boosts memory and understanding. In workplace learning, it’s often the picture that sticks.
Today's short read explores why.

Who’s seen ‘So I Married an Axe Murderer’ (1993) … ?

I've been a big fan of @olicav.bsky.social for ages.
#dualcoding works!

I promised a tutee two every week. She's got a couple of quotations verbatim, and key words from the other two.

If you need help here, it's Hercules.

Andersom kun je ook met deze formule werken.

Niet van extra radius (Δr) naar extra touw (ΔC) door te vermenigvuldigen met 2π, maar andersom. Dus delen door 2π.

Als je bijvoorbeeld wilt uitzoeken of je onder dat touw om de Aarde door kunt kruipen als dat touw 10m langer is. #Wiskunde #Dualcoding

1 - help students IDENTIFY key quotations
2 - help them REMEMBER them (#dualcoding: attaching an icon or picture to words can be a powerful #memoryhack, and you shouldn't underestimate the power of simple #gamification, either)
3 - show what a TOP-GRADE #analysis of that quotation

A new series beginning this week - based on @olicav's inspiring ideas about #dualcoding.

Who's studying #gcsemacbeth? Please pass it on.

Try to work out the key quotation from the visual clues. Then take a close look at the top grade analysis on the next slide. How is it

By encoding information both verbally and visually, you create two separate mental pathways for retrieval, making it much harder to forget the details during a high-pressure moment. #omnicanvasnotes #digitalworkspace #canvaslayout #dualcoding #studytips #visuallearning 2/2

Yesterday was a real highlight! ✨ I spoke on Dual Coding at a TeachMeet with some of Bangkok’s top educators. Big thanks to Lien for her amazing energy 🌟 and to all the brilliant teachers I met! 🤝💡 Highly recommend teacher networking events! 🚀 #DualCoding #TeachMeet #BangkokEducators

Thanks, Kate. Here is a related article I wrote on #dualcoding that you might find useful. Some tips on how to explain it to Ss and then get them using it. Good luck! #ConnectTheDotsEd

Playing #researchEDcatchup this weekend. This @adamboxer1 explanation of #multimediaeffect and #dualcoding (using a live concrete example) was a joy to watch. Very clear and methodical. Thanks! @researchEDhome 2020 Adam Boxervia @YouTube

researchEDHome 2020 Adam Boxer: Dual Coding for Teachers Who Can’t Draw: Teacher’s Explanations
In this session, Adam will outline major findings from cognitive science including the Multimedia Effect, Redundancy and Split Attention – empirical findings which can be placed within a framework called Dual Coding Theory. Dual Coding has become an incredibly popular tool for teachers, and Adam will show which strands of the Theory are most helpful to most teachers most of the time.

Just got my hands on @WALKTHRUs_5 The temptation is to flip thru b/c it’s beautiful & easy to navigate, but ea word is as important as well-conceived graphics. A #dualcoding delight! Balance of topics; clear messaging. Thank U & Congratulations @teacherhead @olicav @JohnCattEd

Thank you for this. Here's similar for #historyteacher (or adaptable). For Y9, we broke down topics & gave Ss a #homework choice—free recall (then draw line & check) or use 'brain strategy' like #retrievalpractice (with a parent), #dualcoding, etc. #Parents signed off, repeat

We've been #teaching KS2 students about #memory and how we learn @Juliansprimary, such as recall, #dualcoding #chunking etc. Recently, I asked Y6 to write letters to younger peers sharing some tips (they learned a year ago)! I'm so impressed! Here are some excerpts. Many more.
