Ask a Tech Teacher

I get a lot of questions from readers about what tech ed resources I use in my classroom so I’m going to take a few days this summer to review them with you. Some are edited and/or written by members of the Ask a Tech Teacher crew. Others, by tech teachers who work with the same publisher I do. All of them, I’ve found well-suited to the task of scaling and differentiating tech skills for age groups, scaffolding learning year-to-year, taking into account the perspectives and norms of

Well it was day one for me. I know that some people got in yesterday or earlier either because they were taking a workshop today or were part of the Chapter Leadership program. For me, today was about getting settled, meeting with old friend (and making some new ones), and the exhibit hall. Wow! has the exhibit hall grown. The conference as well. Apparently there are about 1700 attendees registered.

Could computer programs match the abilities of our brains? Published: July 14, 2022. The human brain is one of the most intricate systems in nature. Recreating its behaviour using computer programs is no easy task, but it can be done – by using artificial intelligence hardware that mimics the deeply complex networks of neuron cells in our brains. Dr Pavel Borisov and Professor Sergey Savel’ev , at Loughborough University , UK, are exploring how new advances in technology can help to create an ar

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.

Have you ever noticed how some objects float in water, while others sink? Boats float because of their shape, but once that shape is damaged, they sink. Some materials, no matter what shape or size, will float in water. For example, loggers who cut down trees would transport those logs weighing thousands of pounds down the river by floating them. How could something so heavy still float in water?

STEM learning is gaining its popularity day by day. Schools are incorporating STEM education in their daily curriculum and becoming an integral part of what they teach. Benefits of STEM Learning : 1. Foster ingenuity and creativity – Ingenuity and foster can be pair with stem education and can lead to new and innovative ideas. Without sufficient ingenuity and creativity, the recent development in artificial intelligence or digital learning would not be possible. 2.

Books have the power to pull us in, gather us up, toss us about and leave us changed. Sometimes the changes are uplifting and inspiring in nature. Other times, they are disconcerting, challenging the way we look at the world. I have this memory of making lunch one summer day about 15 years ago. I found myself digging every shred of tuna out of the can.

Bouncy balls are a lot of fun to play with. When you drop them, they come right back up. Put a little force into the drop, and they will bounce even higher, sometimes with unpredictable results! Why does this happen? It has to do with the properties of the material it’s made of – rubber. Rubber is elastic, which means it can stretch and compress, then return to its original shape.

When you think of your sense of taste, what part of your body comes to mind? The tongue, of course! The tongue is covered in little bumps called papillae, which contain many taste buds. These little receptors are responsible for helping us distinguish salty from sweet, bitter from sour, and the savory taste we called “umami.” Adults have anywhere from 2,000 to 4,000 taste buds!

Arizona needs more teachers badly. So badly, it seems, that the state is no longer requiring some educators to have a bachelor’s degree before they enter the classroom—merely that they be working toward one. Arizona Gov. Doug Dacey heralded the changes as a way to ease the state’s teacher shortage when he signed them into law earlier this month. Under SB 1159 , schools can recruit people without college degrees to their “school-based preparation programs” so long as candidates are enrolled in ba
