A number of friends and colleagues have linked to Adam Grant’s piece, “There’s a Name for the Blah You’re Feeling: It’s Called Languishing.” In psychology, Grant says, “we think about mental health on a spectrum from depression to flourishing,” but a “term was coined by a sociologist named Corey Keyes” that describes the “void” in between them: “languishing.” It’s a state in which, Grant says, you’re not totally burned out, but you’re not full steam, either.

Last week TED-Ed released a new video lesson titled This Tool Will Help You Improve Your Critical Thinking. As I wrote last week, I almost immediately used the lesson in one of my computer science classes. Writing that blog post and using that lesson inspired me to take a look back through my archives for other lessons and resources for teaching and learning about critical thinking. Here's my updated list of resources about critical thinking and logical fallacies. Via Elizabeth E Charles

Scenarios represent snapshots of a range of possible futures. They paint a picture of ‘what could be’ with enough depth to be plausible, but not too precise. Each scenario represents the different ways in which key drivers might develop and interact, and so they are not meant to be compared to each other. However, there are common aspects, implied in all scenarios, which help to explain underlying thinking that supported their construct. Scenario Characteristics: Plausibility: Scenarios fall within the limits of what might conceivably happen. Differentiation: Scenarios are structurally different, rather than variations of a base case. Consistency: Scenarios are internally consistent. Decision-making utility: Each scenario, and all scenarios as a set, will contribute specific insights for future decision-making. Challenge: Scenarios include ones that challenge conventional wisdom about the future. Via Edumorfosis, Yashy Tohsaku

Memory is inextricable from learning; there's little sense in teaching students something new if they can't recall it later. Ensuring that the knowledge teachers impart is appropriately stored in the brain and easily retrieved when necessary is a vital component of instruction. In How to Teach So Students Remember, author Marilee Sprenger provides you with a proven, research-based, easy-to-follow framework for doing just that. Via Reeler Centre

Like many of my students, I'm often guilty of writing in a rush. Doing that leads to three bad habits that appear in my writing. The first is omitting words that should be in a sentence. The second is repeating words in a sentence when I try to revise a sentence midstream. And the third bad habit is using the same phrases and sentence structures too frequently. To change my habits I'm trying to slow down. I've also enlisted the help of a neat Chrome extension called Wordtune. Via Elizabeth E Charles
