The Best STEM Books. I love to check out the new STEM picture books on the National Science Teaching Associations website. In January, they publish a list of “best STEM books.” The books on the list are all books that were published the year before. I find that they are perfect for the STEM library, lend themselves to many STEM challenges, are diverse in content and style, and are popular for years to come.

Scientists ran an unusual summer camp in the 1970s and ‘80s—and its main purpose was to study the sleep patterns of kids and teens. Campers actually wore electrodes all day so they’d be ready to plug in for monitoring. What researchers found, and have continued to study in the years since, is that teens have different, and greater, needs when it comes to sleep than people of other ages.

There are budding engineers in all grade bands of the education system, even if the student might not know it yet. It is essential that we as parents and educators expose students to hands-on, engaging engineering curriculum and lessons starting at a young age. By giving them the opportunity to engage with different engineering topics, we create a positive association, confidence, and a passion for the subject.

The fast-growing startup Class Technologies will acquire the virtual classroom tool Blackboard Collaborate, according to an announcement last week. Class Technologies became one of the best-funded new edtech startups since the start of the pandemic, having raised more than $164 million to build out a series of classroom features on top of Zoom. That means colleges, schools and corporate-training operations pay Class for the ability to do things like give out assignments, proctor tests and take a

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.

Writing a decade ago, Jody Passanisi and Shara Peters wondered if online learning could replace physical school. Now as they evaluate the costs to students of pandemic driven education, the teachers turned school leaders have their answer: Content in a human vacuum can’t sustain itself. The post Can Tech Replace the Classroom? Should it? first appeared on MiddleWeb.
