Ask a Tech Teacher
MARCH 16, 2023
I’ve used flipped classrooms in my Middle School classes. After the initial excitment that somthing changed, it fell into a routine with not much better results than any other teaching method. But not worse, either. I tossed it into the category of something to try when whatever I was using didn’t work. That’s why this article from EdSurge caught my attention: Does ‘Flipped Learning’ Work?

When a Texas task force set out to draft a plan for attracting and keeping more teachers in the state’s schools, it ran into its first problem before work ever began. The group initially was composed of school district leaders and had no more than one teacher, recalls Zeph Capo, president of the Texas American Federation of Teachers. That didn’t sit well with him or members of the Texas AFT.

Table of Contents Often a subject of hilarity and ridicule, snoring has contributed a lot to the comic genre. But have you ever wondered why humans snore? Do you think animals snore? Why do we snore when we go Zzzzz? We don’t snore when we are awake, right? When we aren’t asleep, air passes through our airways unobstructed. When we doze off, muscles in our body relax, and that includes the muscles in your mouth, tongue, and throat.

My Death Investigation Unit is my all-time favorite topic to teach in my Forensic Science class! It’s filled with interesting content, fun activities, engaging labs, and my students love it just as much as I do. When a fellow forensics teacher, Jason Briski, shared the idea to use a hot dog to teach algor mortis in my Forensic Science Teachers collaborative Facebook group, I knew I had to add it to my lesson plan line-up.

This is perhaps the most classic science experiment that kids love – making slime. I honestly can’t believe in the two years since starting STEM Education Guide , and I haven’t once done a slime recipe! I was looking for some quick 5-minute science experiments we could do, and this easy slime recipe was the answer. All you need is borax, glue, and water (so technically it requires 3 ingredients, including the water.

Research suggests many teachers worry that they are ill-equipped to handle the growing number of English Learners (ELs) in U.S. public schools. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, in 2019 more than 5 million students in U.S. schools were considered English Learners, a number that grew from 4.5 million in 2010 ( [link] ).

Do you want a quick science experiment to demonstrate chemical reactions? Well, look no further! I wanted to demonstrate chemical reactions, and among the easiest (and most exciting) is the baking soda and vinegar experiment. However, simply mixing baking soda and vinegar didn’t seem exciting enough. Instead, I decided to make a game out of it!

The success of any educational initiative, whether it be implementing a new curriculum, introducing a new teaching method, or integrating technology into the classroom, hinges on the professional development of its teachers. When time and effort are spent designing professional development that supports skills growth, encourages consistent application of learned methods, and empowers educators to go beyond their comfort zones, students benefit.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion (“DEI”) is not, holistically speaking, a new subject within education. However, social and political changes in recent years – particularly those catalyzed during the height of the pandemic in the U.S. – have prompted organizations and institutions to try to bolster the profile of their DEI posture and reassert their public commitment to the cause.

Last week, I posted this article with thoughts for organizing and running effective meetings. One of those rules was "Respect People", and at the end of that rule I said: Suffice to say that, in 2023, every meeting should have a remote participation option unless there is some legitimate reason not to (for example, meetings with sensitive or off-the-record discussions taking place) and remote participants should be on equal footing in every respect with in-person participants.

I have a hard time connecting with some frameworks for equity-based teaching. Often, that’s because they don’t connect as well as I’d like to science teaching. The Cultivating Genius Framework from Dr. Gholdy Muhammad, on the other hand, provides a simple tool to reflect on lesson and unit design. Her framework includes the following 5 elements, and I note how they’d work within science: Intellect: the disciplinary core ideas of science (DCIs) and ways of thinking of science (i.e., CCCs) Skills:
