When classrooms and conference rooms abruptly moved online three years ago, we all experienced moments of technical frustration. Whether dealing with connectivity issues or clumsy virtual interactions, which were sometimes accompanied by awkward background noises, we persisted. Fortunately, the education sector had time to smooth out some of these wrinkles, especially with improved connectivity and advancing technology such as artificial intelligence (AI).

STEM is one prominent area in education where there is a significant equity gap among students. This occurs because many students, particularly those from low-income families, aren’t equipped with the opportunities to learn the necessary skills to enter STEM careers upon graduation. This ultimately creates a lack of diversity in STEM fields. As a result, it is important to ensure all students receive meaningful learning experiences.

When you teach typing, the goal isn’t speed and accuracy. The goal is that students type well enough that it doesn’t disrupt their thinking. Let me say that again: The goal of keyboarding is students type well enough that it doesn’t disrupt their thinking. Much like breathing takes no thought and playing a piano is automatic (for some), students must be able to think while they type, fingers automatically moving to the keys that record their thoughts.

Engagement and creativity play such important roles in the learning process, but with the myriad of other requirements and obligations, they can easily get lost in the abyss of deadlines and mandates. Creativity helps develop a deeper sense of learning, yet we keep our “creative” units until after state testing is over. Recently, I met with two education leaders to discuss how to improve teacher and student engagement through creativity.

These are the tiniest building blocks to all living and non-living things. Many atoms fit together to form molecules. Every atom has a nucleus which is at its very center. This is where all the atom’s mass is.

Her face isn’t particularly demonstrative, but she’s trying her best with emphatic pats-on-the-back when the student gets something right.
