Among the ramblings are Nuthalls difficulties in making learning visible, how random numbers are a hindrance not a help to learners, the reason why teachers need to claim back the word progress, the usefulness of SOLO taxonomy for tracking learning and the necessity of pre-assessing content. Oh, and lots of puerile acronyms.
I think this video makes the myth of activity and learning clear. It shouts know your pedagogocial content knowledge, look for those misconceptions.
Equally beautiful are these posts by David Didau http://t.co/SpV59jCO and

It appears we really are claiming back the word progress and focusing where our students need us to bve. Focused upon learning.
“If the only justification for an activity is that it is supposed to encourage thinking, drop it and replace it with an activity that advances students’ understanding or that increases their mastery of a useful tool” Bereiter 2002
