On Friday, October 14th we had our second field trip of the 2022-2023 academic year. On this day, 39 fifth+sixth grade students from the JP Manning School came to learn about engineering. Thank you to NEU students Lauren, Maya, Erika, Munin, and Nigel for helping out today! We started by learning about engineering and the engineering design process (EDP) and roleplayed the steps of the EDP through brainstorming, designing, and improving an alarm clock pneumatic bed.

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.

The display of a Kindle or e-book reader looks very different from the screens we find on our phones, laptops, or even refrigerators. It is pleasant to the eyes and looks so much like a printed page that sometimes we might even forget that we are not reading a physical book. How do they do that?
