MP4•Episode home

It has been a six-lesson day and there are still lots of jobs to do, but it's time for an afternoon of professional development. This time you'll be learning about managing student cognitive load. You hope to high heaven that the facilitator doesn't fall victim to the ultimate irony... cognitively overloading you!

In this episode, I talk about cognitive load theory, and how I went about addressing it in professional development.

Literature etc. I consulted for this episode includes:
