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.

The holidays are over and my family is already back in the swing of the school calendar. That means, back to the usual birthday parties and events that require children’s gifts. If you are a planner like me, you are already reassessing the gifts you have at hand so you don’t have to run to the store at the last minute.

Mosquitoes can be irritating! When they bite, they can leave an itchy bump on our skin. Not only that, but mosquitoes can spread dangerous diseases, like malaria, when they bite. Scientists have learned that some chemicals can be used to keep mosquitoes away from us and from the food we grow. DDT is a chemical that can be sprayed on crops to control the number of mosquitoes.
