Ask a Tech Teacher

APRIL 20, 2022

This is a common complaint in my grad school classes. Yes, teachers know students don’t have all of the skills they need for the technology required in education, but who has time to teach it? Newsweek has an interesting article addressing exactly that: How Schools Can Find the Time To Teach Digital Literacy Skills. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, computer science jobs are projected to grow 13% between 2020 and 2030.

There’s plenty of interest among workforce experts about the potential of alternative credentials—like certificates, badges and apprenticeships—to help more people find better jobs without necessarily having to go to college. But in order for that to actually work, employers have to value those credentials. Many company leaders say that they do, as part of their efforts to reward skills , not just degrees.

Q: You are working with STEMx on a training series on pre-apprenticeship programs for schools. What is a pre-apprenticeship program? A: The U.S. Department of Labor defines pre-apprenticeship as a program or set of strategies designed to prepare individuals for entry into Registered Apprenticeship Programs (RAP) or other job opportunities. . . Youth pre-apprenticeships combine academic and technical classroom instruction with work experience that is directly linked with a RAP.

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.

As you are winding down your school year, it is a great time to think about ways to end the year with exciting and engaging learning for all your students. Deep learning has become a buzzphrase in many school districts and is really not a new type of pedagogy. It began with Socrates in ancient times, where he crafted learning experiences for his students that were relevant, needed them to master a skill or content, and required them to communicate, collaborate, be creative, and use their critica

I am a particle physicist. I analyze data from the Large Hadron Collider at CERN to search for as-yet undiscovered particles. As a scientist I think it is very important to explain to the public what I am looking at in my research. That is why I make my work accessible to everyone who is interested. I was especially excited about being asked to give a talk for TEDxLondonWomen , because I feel it is particularly important to show young women that they can also pursue a career in the sciences.

The extensive bleaching of coral reefs is an alarming threat to marine ecosystems. To fight this threat, some corals are turning neon to survive. Coral reefs are the rainforests of the sea. They serve as habitats for thousands of fish and other marine creatures. For people, they provide many benefits including food, medicine, and recreation. But these valuable ecosystems are suffering greatly from the effects of climate change.
