GistSheet.com is a new future (starting in late summer 2021) series of blog posts intended to provide short, concise, 1-page (=sheet) summary (= gist) posts that examine a specific teaching technique, strategy, or activity in the light of existing research. I usually review a research article (or several, thematically related articles) that convincingly shows which approaches to teaching and learning work, and which presently have no support in data/evidence-based research.
