Dear subscribers, I will be sharing with you interesting links, videos, and articles related with teaching and learning in a timely manner. The format is simple. 3 links to blogs, papers, or articles. 2 videos from youtube. And, 1 of my own blog posts from the archive.

that I think you will find interesting:
a. The most highly cited paper in psychology - "The Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two: Some Limits on Our Capacity for Processing Information"

TWO Videos
that you can relate to teaching and learning:
a. The Shape of Creativity: a rather clever and creative take on Dunning Kruger Effect on learning.
b. How Do Volcanoes Make Smoke Rings? Occasionally, a volcano coughs up a ring of fog. How does it create that whimsical shape, and how similar is it to the smoke rings humans can make?
