Some students just don’t like writing. A page filled with black-and-white words intimidates–or bores!–them making it almost impossible to explain their ideas for an assignment. That is one reason graphic novels are becoming so popular–telling a story or thoughts with a blend of images and words The drawback is finding a photograph that fits the assignment requirements in a legal, copyright-appropriate manner.

Colleges around the country have been holding emergency meetings of their honor code councils or other committees that govern student cheating. The reason: a whole new kind of cheating that is suddenly possible, thanks to a new AI tool called ChatGPT. The technology, which emerged just a couple of months ago, can answer just about any question you type into it, and can adapt those answers into a different style or tone on command.

During the first week of the new year, parts of Minnesota were deluged by a winter storm , blanketing the Twin Cities and surrounding areas with almost a foot-and-a-half of snow. Those conditions were enough to prompt school closures, and on Wednesday, Jan. 4, students in Minnetonka School District got a proper snow day. Many students, no doubt, built snowmen, went sledding and delighted in the unique childhood experience of an impromptu day out of school.

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.

There is a common conception that playing video games can lead to extreme behavior or game addiction. This is because games have a tendency to raise a child’s engagement levels, causing them to become absorbed in the game mechanics. However, when channeled correctly, games can cause a child’s academic performance to rise significantly. Learning and the education sector have seen significant changes over time.

The glass octopus is a rarely-spotted organism found in tropical and subtropical seas around the world. This organism gets its name due to its transparent body which looks like glass. One can look straight through its body to see the nerves, the eyes, and the digestive tract. Scientists believe that the glass octopus gained its transparent body through evolution in order to hide from predators in the ocean.

A typical project for February’s Black History Month is a report, poster, or presentation about a famous person. In a quick check of popular lesson plan websites for teachers, I found dozens of “projects” like this. Students pick a famous Black American, from writers to soldiers to civil rights movement leaders to artists and pop stars, look up some information about them and (usually) just copy it, then display their artifact to the class.
