Extraneous load is when cognitive load is imposed on the learner, because the teacher is trying to teach several unrelated concepts in a way that increases their cognitive load. This is bad cognitive load because it’s avoidable. Consider having a slide with three unrelated concepts all next to Esch other. Or worse, they’re somewhat related but it’s unclear (to the learner) how they’re related. The learner is spending mental energy (specifically using up working memory) trying to sort it out instead of learning one of the concepts well enough to commit it to long term memory.
The more stuff that is on a page or some piece of instructional material, the higher, the cognitive load. So try to only put on there what is necessary for the learner. Because remember, the learner cannot distinguish what is important like an expert can.  Related, try not to have something, both in written form and in spoken form. That increases cognitive load, which makes it harder for the learner to understand because they are trying to contrast and meld the two together.
It’s good to have you around!
One of the issues with element interactivity is that the more you build on new concepts, the harder it is for students to understand what has not been committed to long-term memory. So if slide nine, for example, is required to understand slide 10 and so on, it’s gonna be difficult for a learner because they haven’t committed that earlier stuff to long-term memory. Once it’s there, it can be easily accessed and used. But it’s got to get there first.
Excellent, concise, and practical conversation about cognitive load. A few takeaways below. ⬇️
I firmly believe it’s a good day when you see an uncommon bird.

I like this idea:
"So: Just as we have “wildlife preserves,” where those in power guarantee that something ancient and precious will not be destroyed, we also need to guarantee kids a “child-life preserve.” That is, guarantee a time and place when children, no less than gazelles and hippos, can play as — dare we say it? — nature intended. Because when you’re playing, you’re developing all the skills (compromise, communication, “reading” people, getting buy-in, empathy, creativity) that you need to become a successful human. A less-likely-to-be-lonely human.
And the byproduct of all that playing is…fun. Fun arises from playing."
Yeah, I agree that’s the way it should be.
And yes, the dashboard is really nice. Fees are low (or pretty standard from what I’ve seen). The learn section of their app/website is super nice.

When I was first learning about bitcoin on Clubhouse and Twitter spaces the Swan people were always there helping out. Swan is Bitcoin focused and big on educating people about bitcoin. They’re also oriented around dollar cost averaging, not trading. I’ve been using them for a couple years and haven’t had any complaints.
I’m in Michigan. That’s good advice about the dog.
Lol. The truth can do that sometimes.

Appreciate the conversation guys. I know one of Paul’s (and others) concerns is about the long term security when the blockchain reward decreases. Maybe Drivechain wouldn’t/won’t solve that problem. I don’t know. But conversation about that problem seems like a good idea.

Oh yeah, I know what you mean. I have the conviction of a preacher when I teach probability, especially expected value. Lol
