It's interesting to watch the reactions to a push on oracy because focusing on oracy requires us to make space for children and young people's voices to be heard. It needs agency and chances to talk with peers which aren't really a feature of the system atm. Learning as expression, not just memory.

My vote would be for a definition of learning which emphasises agency and celebrates how we can all be lifelong learners because it's an *action and an active process* not a static testable state. Maybe something like 'learning is a change in what we can do and the way we experience our world'? 🤷‍♀️

I've been reading a lot about embodied cognition as I write my latest book (there's some very interesting research on this). I do suspect AI might push education to let go of the 'brain as computer' mental model of learning. We are not just brains on legs, we are brains *in* bodies. #EduSky
