March 31st is called World Backup Day. At least once a year, backup your data files to an external drive (like a flash drive). This is one that isn’t connected to your local computer so can’t be compromised if you get a virus. It’s good to always backup data to cloud drives or a different drive on your computer but once a year, do the entire collection of data files to what is called an ‘air gap’ drive–one that is separated from any internet connection.

We’re familiar with the higher education headlines. Growing student debt, declining college enrollment, faculty layoffs and department closures, to name a few. The world’s complexity has been catapulted to a new level, and higher education is feeling the repercussions like never before. In 2015, I wrote a book responding to the declining-enrollment crisis faced by many small liberal arts colleges throughout the country.

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.

NASA has chosen two students as winners of the Lunabotics Junior Contest , a national competition for K-12 students featuring the agency’s Artemis missions. Contestants were charged with designing a robot that can dig and move lunar soil, or regolith, from one area of the lunar South Pole to a holding container near a future Artemis Moon base. Fifteen-year-old Shriya Sawant of Cumming, Georgia, was the winner from grades 6-12 with her RAD: Regolith Accretion Device design.

Written by: Reagan Flowers, Ph.D. Feeling able to accomplish a skill begins with confidence. When it comes to STEM education, that confidence starts with inclusivity. According to a new North Carolina State University study, creating a sense of belonging in classrooms helps students feel more capable of working on STEM subjects outside of school. What Inclusivity Looks Like.

In the 2020 to 2021 school year, there has been a boom in unplanned educational experiments that have looked far different than the traditional school system. Specifically, the formation of Learning Pods, or as some refer to as “pandemic-pods”, gained tremendous popularity and success. As a lot of families struggled to incorporate an effective hybrid learning model for their children, many came together to form “micro-schools” where small groups of children could learn in person.

Plastic is everywhere and in everything; from the bottles in our fridges to the shoes on our feet, it seems to dominate all areas of our lives. This is particularly true for single-use plastic, like the straws and bags that we throw away after using them only once. As it turns out, a staggering 50% of all plastic produced is single-use. While many may appreciate the convenience of plastic, more and more people are becoming aware of the hefty consequences of our reliance on plastic.
