One of the things that make me sure that programming will be around for awhile even with better and better artificial intelligences is that people are bad at giving instructions.

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.

Parenting a toddler is an exciting and rewarding experience. However, raising a child can also be one of the most challenging and exhausting times for parents as they must learn to navigate their child’s ever-changing needs, emotions, and behaviors. Toddlerhood doesn’t have to be a stressful time for parents. Instead, it should be a time of collaboration between the parents and the child to help your toddler learn what is and isn’t acceptable behavior.
