There is a preview out for Visual Studio 2022 available and since I a) love to try new things and b) am not limited to by what is on the student computers I have been trying it out. Normally, I don’t see a lot in new versions of Visual Studio that impact me personally or me as a teacher. That is not the case with this new version of VS.

Hello innovative educators. I've missed you, but I'm back with a lot of ideas to help you focus on you and your wellness to start this school year off right! During the pandemic, I took the time to reset and take a look at my own wellness. I focused on areas such as diet, exercise, and supplements. I didn’t want to do this alone. So a few girlfriends and I got together with a simple goal: Losing the COVID 19.

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.

Copyright 1972 So obviously, continued cleaning up is on pause while I code up solutions to some of the problems. One of the problems in the book is Hexapawn ( Hexapawn on Wikipedia ) I remember this being a sort of challenge program when I was an undergraduate student.

As the pandemic hit the United States, I found myself working extremely long hours to help our schools move to emergency remote learning. I also spent an abundant amount of time publishing numerous articles around ways to do remote learning successfully. As a result, I was not finding the time to exercise. I was eating convenient (often unhealthy) food.

AUGUST 23, 2021

STEM education is a global endeavour to improve the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematical skills of children and young people. Every country around the world has a different approach to implementing it: whilst some are embedding it within their educational policies, others are delivering it through external organisations. This got us thinking.

Deductive reasoning is an essential academic skill for forensic science students. Activities that help students develop their deductive reasoning can be implemented to complement many areas of the curriculum and are always a lot of fun. As students participate in engaging deductive reasoning activities, they develop foundational knowledge for using logic to draw conclusions based on evidence- the evidence that they will be analyzing throughout the course.

In order for the future of the technology industry to adapt to the ever-growing and complex job market, the industry needs to focus on capturing a more diverse employee base. Right now, most science and tech fields are overwhelmingly led and operated by white and Asian males. The disparity of representation in the tech industry originates from the pattern of minorities being in underserved communities or underfunded school districts.
