Ask a Tech Teacher

AUGUST 9, 2022

For over two years, many schools, parents, students, and teachers have struggled with how to teach remotely, and then–when can we go back to in-person learning. The education system is comfortable with teaching students face-to-face. For hundreds of years, that’s how it’s been done, but done right, remote learning is a winner. Here’s EdTech’s take on using classroom tech to elevate remote learning: Classroom tech investments elevate remote learning.

The future of higher education will bring more hybrid learning models—but colleges may not yet have the staff and systems they need to scale up high-quality programs that blend in-person and online experiences. So believe chief online officers at U.S. colleges, according to a new survey of more than 300 such leaders published today by Quality Matters and Encoura Eduventures Research.

Carbon dioxide is perhaps, the most infamous of the greenhouse gases. They all are bad, in the excessive quantities that they are being emitted right in now, but Carbon dioxide seems to be focused on the most. Why? This is because carbon dioxide is the most abundant greenhouse gas, out of them all. Methane may be far more potent than carbon dioxide, but is less abundant and only stays in the atmosphere for about a decade.

As an education community, we are beginning to understand the depth of the pandemic’s impact, especially on our students of color, our English Language learners and our students with disabilities. But we are also beginning to understand the breadth of connection, growth and networks that we have encountered over the past two years.

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.

When Curtis Chandler began 'longboarding' to work, he endured a newbie’s trial-by-fire. After many bruises he took a friend’s words to heart and opened to the learning experience. The tips he shares here can help beginning teachers "embrace the challenging reality of our profession.". The post The Bumps and Scrapes of First Year Teaching first appeared on MiddleWeb.

Prepping for a Sub. Does the thought of needing a substitute in your STEM classroom fill you with anxiety ? You are not alone! STEM lessons typically mean a much more active classroom than most of the other subjects – many materials, student movement and discussion, and in some cases, bigger clean up. We have some tried and true procedures and lessons that we have relied upon to share that will make preparing for a sub a snap.

August. It’s probably one of the toughest months of the year for teachers. Some teachers are setting up for the new school year. Others are attending professional development and training. Still, others are already into the first few weeks of school. Regardless of where you are in the back-to-school process, you may need some motivation. We’ve pulled together some of our favorite blog posts about starting the new school year off well.

Today on the blog… a fun activity for teaching lab procedures. Setting the stage for the school year involves teaching procedures and routines. I spend the first two weeks of school teaching my students how my classroom works and this includes discussing lab procedures and expectations. After reviewing basic lab rules, I have my students conduct what my students call “ the greatest lab of all time.” What is it?

Science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) are integral to a child’s education. Introducing STEM into the curriculum starting as early as kindergarten helps to improve students’ STEM literacy and comfortability in these subjects. As educators, it is important to create strong, capable, and passionate STEM learners who can go on to pursue STEM degrees and careers.

As you may recall in my other blog I talked about avoiding warming of 2 degrees large amounts of fossil fuels would have to remain in the ground. As such, that means fossil fuel companies will not be able to burn much of their reserves. In theory, carbon capture would allow for the burning of a bit more fossil fuels for some time, but as of now the technology still needs development.

Inspired by a challenge to design a research study of teacher effectiveness based on measures beyond student test scores, we were awarded a Noyce Track 4 research grant from the National Science Foundation to explore teacher effectiveness through culturally responsive education and core practices. The first year of our study, Investigating Effective Teaching Through a Culturally Responsive Lens ( Grant #1950260 ), was seriously impacted by the pandemic.
