But before schools can try out new models, schools have to know what’s out there. A new online library called the “Innovative Models Exchange ,” unveiled Monday, hopes to give educators an easy place to quickly consider some possibilities.

Coding It Yourself Can Be Fun

Computer Science Teacher

Every couple of weeks I bake a couple of loaves of bread. The bread mostly gets used for breakfast sandwiches. Now my bread does not look as perfect as what I could get in a bakery. And the bagels? Once in a while I try my hand at bagels, don’t look anything close to what I get at my favorite bagel place. But they all taste good and I find it very satisfying to make it myself.

Engineering Education for Children on the Autism Spectrum: Content, Pedagogy, and Assessment

National Science Foundation

Engineering learning is a lifelong process that starts from a very young age as children discover the world through tinkering, touching, and being curious. Some refer to children as natural engineers (Dorie et al., 2014; Genalo et al., 2000). Young children naturally and informally engage in engineering-related behaviors and activities (Petroski, 2003).

The Project Habit: Striking the Right Balance of Habits in PBL

Defined Learning

In my third year of teaching science to sophomores, I had likely accrued 300 hours of designing projects. Through my project-based learning (PBL) courses, I learned that a great project took about twenty hours to create and I stuck to that guidance. My focus had been on sticking to the fidelity of the project design process and adhering to a project template.

Can Brain Science Actually Help Make Your Training & Teaching Stick?

Speaker: Andrew Cohen, Founder & CEO of Brainscape

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.

Empowering girls, inspiring engineers

Futurum

Empowering girls, inspiring engineers. Published: Decades of gender stereotyping, discrimination and prejudice have resulted in an engineering work force that is largely made up of white males. Despite changing opinions and increasingly equal access to opportunities, more diversity and inclusion is still needed in the field. The Society of Women Engineers (SWE) in the US is addressing this issue by inspiring young girls to get excited about engineering and to know that they belong.

EdTech Promised to Change How Students Learn, But the Real Revolution Lies Within Us

ED Surge

In my first year of teaching, I was blessed to have a SMART board in my classroom. My excitement was palpable given that this fancy piece of technology was (and is) a luxury for most educators. At least that was the case for a few months before a screw fell from the ceiling and landed in the middle of my classroom. My SMART board’s projector was hanging on by a single screw, much like any hope that this fancy technology would improve my teaching and instruction.
