In the past few years, educational institutions have adapted to a new normal brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. Parents, students, teachers and administrators had to remain flexible, adjust to virtual learning environments and adopt new digital technologies to facilitate learning.

Academic jargon is reputed to be arcane and hard to grasp (and yes, boring as well!). This is the case because like any jargon 'academic speak' is highly technical. It requires a specific writing style, slight different sentence structures, and so often vague and impersonal voice. I am not sure why it has to be like this but that is what it is and you need to learn its mechanics in order to make it in the scholarly world of academia.

Students learn best when they are relaxed, happy, and feeling loved. It is challenging to include those characteristics in classes when you are concurrently trying to achieve school goals, comply with curriculum timelines, juggle parent concerns, and blend your lessons with those of colleagues. This is where mindfulness becomes important. It reminds teachers that the fulcrum for learning is the student’s emotional well-being.

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.

Not everyone is sold on the idea that virtual reality technology could or should bring higher education into a future of avatars and holograms. But separate from that hype, virtual reality is already being used at colleges in ways that seem more mainstream, as a tool that has the potential to enhance teaching and learning. For example, at Columbia University, professors are creating and using virtual reality tools to help students gain empathy across racial lines, learn dentistry techniques and

As educators, we have had to adjust our methods and choices in digital tools throughout our careers for many reasons. Besides what we have experienced in the past few years, there is increased access to devices, more apps and tools available for classroom use, and students who rely on their devices so much. All of this is impacting the learning in our classrooms.

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 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).

Students’ perception is one of the most important nuances in primary school. Perception occurs with the activity of developing students. The task and the environment need to be expanded and developed along with the information they obtain. It is recommended that the STEM method, which has been popular in recent years, be taught at an early age. It is necessary to make innovations that will have added value.

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.

The staging is full of pomp and symbolism, with participants wearing traditional academic gowns and walking across a stage in front of thousands of spectators, including friends and family.
